Tax Rate Drops,
Road Funds Cut


At the two day session of the
county board of supervisors held
in El Centre yesterday and today,
the tax rate discussion received the
most attention.
When the meeting had been call
ed to order this morning, the second
day, caucus of the members was
held to determine the stand that
should be taken in the matter. 1t
was finally Sgreed to cnt 8 cents
from last year s tax rate of $2.06
on 800 valuation to $500 on a 500
valuation for this year. The s
cents is to come out of the road
funds.
Nothing was done yesterday but
Imperial Valley press., 1924-09-03

rto discuss pro and con the advis-
ability of lowering the tax rate.
Many heated arguments were put
forth by the members, some of them
seemed to think that the cut in the
tax rate would have to come out of
the road fund which was not large
enough to successfully carry on
the work of keeping the roads in
condition and supply funds for other
purposes.
At this mornings session bids
we're received for furnishings for
the two superior court house, but
no contracts We're awarded. 1t was
deemed advisable to wait until Il
