Frederick County Schools Seek To Maintain 90 Cent Levy
Frederick County School Board presented a tentative budget for 1936-1937 asking to keep the 90 cent levy per $100 of assessed property, yielding about 54 514.17 plus delinquent taxes. State funds are estimated at 36 453, bringing total operating revenues near 90 967 17, with possible minor state variations. The governor can cut state expenditures if a deficit is forecast and a chance exists Frederick may gain about 2 000 more from state revenues. The budget also plans a 15 000 loan from the State Literary Fund to cover capitalized building programs from past years, a loan already approved by the Board of Supervisors.
