List Tax
Expense at
West Geanga
by Lennah b. Bond

The following are tax facts
from the Geauga county Audi
tors books for Chester and
West Geauga School District.
l. Chester taxpayers now
pay OPT on every dollar o.
property valuation or $2.7O per
$4,000 of valuation.
2. This amount is used as
follows: School $2.14; Township
(roads, cemeteries, etc. 20
County .33; State .03; (Soldiers
bonuS). or for every dollar OF
tax money the school receives
1902, Township .074, County
.122, State oil.
A. The school tax for general
use is OIL. This is accounted
for thus. From the ten mill
limitation on Chester real pro-
perty, the schools receive 5.3
mills. In 1850 an extra operat-
ing levy was voted for fiv e
years. An increase in property
valuation reduced the amount
to 9 mills which brought the
same return.
in 1852 an added three mills
was voted for five years. In
creased valuation brought this
to 2.8 mills.
3. In 1851 a bond issue for
one half million dollars W a S
voted. This was used as fol-
lows: $4,000 for purchase of
land for new building; $4,000
for repair of Chester and Rus
sell buildings. ($2O,OOO ca C h
building); $780, 900 for construc-
ton of building; $4,000 f o r
new equipment. Figures taken
from information prepared by
School Board May, 1884,
The amount of .0043 of the
school tax is for the retirement
of this bond issue. This was to
run for "a years.
3. At the November 2, 1854
election the West Geauga Board
of Education is asking for
more funds.
A new three mill operating
levy for five years.
B. Another bond issue ( or
5000, 100000 for THE purpose of
constructing a fireproof class
room addition" to the $430 900.
90 building recently constructed
and furnishing equip m n t
therefor This bond is of "a
years duration. So far as known
no definite building plan h
been presented to the general
public.
4. The above mentioned is
only local tax. The State School
Foundation Fund per pupi |,
State money for school busses,
and other funds are not listed
