Tax Rate Tipped In
Hancock By 2 Mill

The Hancock County tax rate was
raised two-tenths of a mill by the
budget commission over objections of
Charles E. Simpson, auditor.
Simpson and county commissioners
differed by $4,000 on the estimated
balance in the general fund at the
beginning of 1947.
Simpson said his estimate of $170,-
600 would justify continuance of the
present two-mill rate. The COM
missioners' budget listed $76,320 as
the estimated balance on Jan. l.
Any increase in the county rate
would reduce the source of revenue
for six taxing districts of the county
already at the 10-mill statutory
limit, Simpson said.
