It is almost certain that an all-time record will be broken in the percentage of collections for Septem- ber. Never before in the city’s history has such a large portion of the tax roil been collected during the first month. Those paying last month received a 4 percent dis- count. This year property own- ers paid on a levy of 24 mills. In 1949, millage was 25. The millage drop of one has meant lower taxes for all, except to those prop- erty-owners whose assess- ments were upped due to improvements, etc. Owners of property got a 20 percent reduction in taxes, while owners of non-exempt lands were given a 4 per- cent cut in their tax bill. This came about by: the commission’s reducing the debt service millage.” Had the one mill been cut on general operating fund alone, then _ those whese homesteads were as- sessed at less than $5,000 would -have not received | tions Siok fieerd_spaees es| High School Girls any benefits. | Portion of the city’s share of the state cigarette sales \tax law must go by law to] the reduction of millage. And it was felt that since all taxpayers, homestead and non-exempt alike help- create this refund, they all should benefit.
