Valuation And Rates Not To Be Raised , "There will be no Increase in the present tax rate and no increase in valuation of property if the $800, ? 000 school bond is voted in," L. L. ' Mason, Cherokee County attorney, said Tuesday afternoon after leav * ing a meeting of the County Board 1 of Commissioners. Mr. Mason, who said he was [ speaking for the Commissioners, I said he wanted to clear up any , misunderstanding about how the i bonds would be paid off without . any Increase in the present tax j structure. He pointed out that (1) valua 1 tions have increased almost 28 ' per cent in the past four years? which meant an increase in coun ty income; (2) the commissioners are cutting down expenditures, and (8) neither valuation of prop erty nor the tax rate will be in creased. The budget for 1964-88 has al ready been approved and the old ? and new (the $800,000 school bond debts can be handled with the pre sent 86 cent county-wide debt ser vice rate, it was pointed out. The 56 cent rate was levied, to pay off the $1 million general coun ty bonds in 1M0. Some $341,000 of ' j those bonds is still to be paid off. The remainder can be refunded for SO years and the $800,000 school bond can be added to that a , mount, it was pointed out. With the school bond and the general county bonds , the county t would have to pay out some $<3 - 300 a year for M years to pay otf j all the bond*. Since the SO cents rate is already bringing in almost $3,000 more > than that amount, the Commission ? era asserted the school bond can ? be floated without an Increase in valuations or tax rates.
