Hagerstown Slices 15 Cents From City Tax Rate
Hagerstown Maryland cuts the 1932 tax rate by 15 cents to $1 per $100 while keeping a balanced budget. City officials say stormwater drains funded by the municipal light plant profits will total $100,000. The electric plant is reported to have earned a larger profit than the prior year, potentially negating the need for $300,000 in sewerage bonds. J Vincent Jamison notes plant profits exceeded last year’s $120,000 and may cover new projects.
