Budget and Tax Rate Discussed by Councilman
John H. Rosenberger spoke to the Winchester Rotary on the city budget and tax rate. He urged caution about cuts, noting the present real estate and personal property rate is 1.55 per 100 and may not safely drop below 1.35, with the year’s estimated revenue around 250000 while fixed charges approach 172000. He highlighted major function needs including water and sewers, fire police courts, library, and other city services, and noted the library budget is only enough to keep it going amid a dilapidated building.
