Tax rates for Buna's 1963-64 his parents over the weekend
school year have been
set at
$1.60 per $100 assessed proper-
ty valuation, states Robert
Cummings, superintendent of
schools here.
The figure is the exact mark
proposed last spring by the lo-
cal school board when it plan-
ned its successful bond election.
The taxes will be an increase
of 10 cents over the past year.
Of the $1.60 amount, 55 cents
will be used to retire bonds and
$1.05 will go toward mainten-
ance. These figures compare to
35 cents for bonds and $1.15 for
maintenance for the past yeur.
Cummings also stated the
last of the $274,000 in bonds for
the first phase of the local dis-
trict’s long-range improvement
program have been sold. Inter-
est rates on these bonds range
from 3 to 3.9 percent, which is
considered exceptional, he said.
