Rate
Advances Sharply,
In regular, session on Tuesday
night, the Village. Council struck
the . 19.43. tax ,rate it 43.5 'mills.
This is an . advance of '`1:8 mills
over the 1942 rate of 41:7.'
Increase in the rate is due to
a 41/2 mill increase in the 'school
rate;' which is partially offset by
reductions in . street lighting, de,
benture,relief and Village rates.
The curtailment of street light-
ing by 20 per , cent, has brought
the ate down from 3.7 'to 2:5
mills. The Village debenture debt
is steadily retiring with the - rate
down t year to. 1.9 from 2.7
mills.An addition. relief is, down
.4 mills ..arid the, Village rate .3
mills.
The 1943 rate as compared with
1942 is as follows:
