Tax Bill in Silver Bow Drops for 1966
Silver Bow County property owners face lower taxes in 1966 due to higher county revenue from Anaconda Co. net proceeds, with county valuation rising to about 47.3 million dollars from 35.7 million. Assessor George McGrath and the county commissioners attributed the decrease to Anaconda’s current net proceeds value of 12.66 million dollars, marking an all time high, and noted the 16 mill school levy would have raised taxes but now lowers them.
