Board of Supervisors Narrowly Approves Higher School Levy
Frederick County supervisors voted three to two to raise the county school tax from 22 to 48 cents per $100 of property value after an open forum. Chairman H B Kline cast the deciding vote in favor, with Myers and Grant for the increase and Good and Smith against. The move is expected to yield about $11,000 for 1924, though the school budget still faces a deficit exceeding $8,000.
