BOYLE TO HEAD GROUP!"
Thé total budget prepared by Mr.|-
Wooden calls for $3,207,000 for next year, compared to $3,049,875 appropriated for this year. Of the total budget only $670,000 is to be raised by county property taxes, the remainder being received from the state and federal governments. Mr. Wooden explained that the lower tax rate was made possible despite a slightly increased budget by an increase in Marion county property valuations. One cent on the tax rate will raise the $68,500 next year compared to $67,000 this year. Marion county's estimated property valuation for next year has ‘been fixed at $685,000,000 compared |
“to $673,000,000 ‘this year.
