Whitesboro Cuts
1955 School Tax
WHITESBORO, Feb. 22—The
Whitesboro school board voted to
reduce 1955 school tax rate 10
cents per $100 valuation. This
new rate will apply to assess-
ments to be made on property
now being rendered. This will
save taxpayers of the district ap- |
proximately $8,000 this year and |
the reduction will be noted on
statements sent out in Septem-
ber.
The reduction is in keeping
with the plan adopted by the
board when the improvement 1
bonds were voted. This called for
a reduction when economically
expedient.
After a review of financial con-
ditions of the district and needs
that will have to be met, it was
decided that the rate could be
lowered. The district is able to
operate on a cash basis. It is
able to meet calculated needs
with cash payments. The bonded
obligations of the district, which |
are about 50 per cent of the legal
safe limit, are now secured by a
safe annual calculated income or
balance.
