Syracuse Civil Town Asks $1.71 Tax Rate for 1955

At their annual regular meeting Wednesday. August 25. the Syracuse Town Board will consider a budget for the town for the coming year of some $58,997.50. an increase over this year s budget estimate of some $7,820.00. The budget to be considered next Wednesday, as published in the Journal last week, reflects the increased costs of material and labor as contracted by the town.

$1.71 Per SIOO Asked The tax rate M asked by the town this year is $1.71 per sloo* valuation, as compared with a request last year of $1.61 per SIOO. After this request is studied and considered by the Town Board and state tax bodies it is usually several cents lower. Last year the final levy for the town of Syracuse was placed at $1.46 per SIOO. Funds for town expenses are also obtained from state excise and gasoline tax rebates as well as the local property and poll taxes. Slight General Increase The general fund shows increases of several hundred dollars for compensation of policemen, firemen,; and street employees, with the administrative ‘ officials of board members, town attorney and clerk-treasurer receiving the same salary as in years past. In the section estimated for services contractual, the increasing use of heat, light, power, and witer as the town grows is shown in the slightly increased amount estimated as needed for next year for these items. Office and other supplies are estimated to cost the same amount next year as this, some $1650.00. The current charges of liability insurance. bond premiums, and old age survivor s insurance will reflect a total increase of $400.00 over last year's figure -of $1300.00. S7OO Less For Property In the budget for 1955 some $6800.00 is included for acquisition of needed real estate, buildings, and equipment. This figure is some $700.00 less than the amount asked for these items in last year's estimate. More For Labor A slight increase of some S3OO in the amount estimated for compensation of laborers characterizes the estimate for the street fund. The figure shown for this omunt being SBBOO.OO. In the street fund section for materials, supplies, and repair of equipment, some $5500 00 is asked as compared to last year's amount of $4700.00. Bond Fund Down A decrease from the $1187.50 of last year to a request of $1157.50 for this year as now requested by the town will be listed under the bond fund. This decrease is resulting from the depVt ion of the principal amount owed by the town for bonds, thus making the . interest less some $20.00 this year. .Meeting Wednesday The notice to taxpayers of tax levies as published advises taxpayers in the town of Syracuse that the town board will consider the budget for next year this coming Wednesday.
