Tax rate
At a special meeting last
Tuesday night, Stanley Town-
ship council set it's mill rate
for the year, with an increase
of little over two mills.
The residential rate is up to
91.5 mills, compared to 89
mills last year, while the com-
mercial rate is up to 98.7 mills
for 1973, compared to 96.34
mills last year.
Last year the general town-
ship rate was 22.68 mills --this
year's rate is 22.86.
Most of the two -mill increase
is blamed on increased educat-
ion costs, particularly in the
elementary school system.
