Municipal Tax Rate Increased
The recent town tax levy of 80
cents per 500 assessment, which is a
boost of SO cents in one year, has
caused considerable comment among
the municipal taxpayers, and which
is explained by the Town Council as
being necessary to defray certain ex-
penses amounting to approximately
$1,000 incurred in the installation of
the sewer line under PWA grant with
relief workers doing the work.
A conservative valuation of the i'm
provement is placed at seven thous-
and dollars, which was borne by the
Federal Government except the sum
of $1,000. 1t was also mandatory to
levy 25 cents, which is a part of the
80-cent levy, to provide for interest
charges on the water bonds, which
were given to install the towns water
system.
At the present time &c meters have
been installed for water users and last
week a service line was extended to
the school building, thus giving an
adequate supply of water there, which
heretofore has been obtained from a
we'll on the premises and which was
unsatisfactory.
