At this juncture the meeting recessed and went into seshion
as an Equalization Board, to hear complaints of tax payers in
regard to assessments on property for the year 1942.
Following the meeting of the Eaualizetion Board the Council
resumed session.
The question of millage was discussed at length. A11
members expressed regret at the fact that it would be necessary
to find new methods of raising revenue or else raise the millage;
that due to the loss of revenue from miscellaneous sources; that
it is absolutely necessary to raise all salaries in order to be
able to keep help; th' t thsre is a decree of court in the Oltrogge
case to be raid and that there is an attorney' s fee in the long
drawn out Seawall Account suit against W. H. Adams , et al , which
must be raid partially from general funds since the oenalties
involved were not enough to cover this cost and that there re-
mains $1 ,000. due on the Incinerator account which must be naid
at an early date (Note : this indebtedness is the balance due on
the Construction of a Garbage Incinerator, the balance having
already been naid in ,revious years , orginelly set un on a bond
issue which was declared invalid. )
