In a special called meeting last Friday, the Board of Coun ty** Commissioners set the tax "ifete tentatively f$r Franklin County at $1.98 or .08 cents above the current rate. The increase includes a .05 cents levy to pay the interest on the Hospital Bonds. Chairman George Harris pointed out through County Accountant Lee Murray that this levy Is neces sary even though the bids have not yet been let for the project because, as Murray puts it, "The work could begin in this fiscal year and the interest would have to be paid." A levy of .02 cents Is made for improvements to the court house and/or rental of office space. County schools receiv ed a .04 cent increase In cur rent expense and lost. .02 cents In capital outlay,, for an overall Increase of .02 cents on the $100 valuation.

Only Harris and Cypress Creek Townships still have such an indebtedness and money Is on hand or deposit to cover these, according to the County Accountant. In the new budget, the Frank - linton District School Bonds levy Is reduced from .55 to .54 cents. The LQulsburg District School Bonds tax is redured from .45 to .40 cents for the fiscal 1965-66.
