Commissioners
To Set 1962
Tax Rate Today
Leave Tax Rate At $1.72
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners
will meet at 10 a.m. today to determine the 1962
county-wide tax rate.
The present rate Is $1.72 per $100 evaluation on
real and personal property.
The commissioners met Monday, June 5, to set the
tax rate. The meeting adjourned without setting
the rate because the commissioners could not agree.
One wanted to reduce the rate 10 cents to $1.62,
another wanted to leave the rate as Is, the third
was undecided.
W. S. Dickey, chairman of the board, says he
favors the 10 cent reduction. According to Mr. Dickey
W, T. Moore Is In favor of leaving the tax rate as
Is and Walter Dockery Is undecided.
This newspaper would like to call to the attention
of Mr. Dickey an advertisement he placed In this paper
on Thursday, May 17, 1962 prior to the $500,000
school bond election.
In this paid ad addressed "To The Taxpayers and
Voters of Cherokee County," Mr. Dickey said," As
Chairman of Cherokee County Commissioners, I
feel It my duty to correct some rumors that have
been going around regarding the bonds that will be
voted on May 26, 1962. The proposed half million
dollars in bonds will take $25,000 a year to pay off
In a twenty year period. Bonds will have to bear a
5% interest rate In order to bring par at the present
Bond Market. This will total $50,000 a year to start,
with amount of Interest getting smaller each year
as bonds are retired. Considering the above, we will
take our present valuation of $17,000,000 of which we
are currently collecting about 85$. It will take an
increased tax rate of about32 cents to raise the money
to retire the bonds as they come due and the Interest.
"Under the proposed bond order the county com
missioners each year has to set a tax rate that will
keep the maturing bonds and Interest paid when due."
On Saturday May 12, the voters and tax payers
of Cherokee County went to the polls and wttd 3 to 1
In favor of the $500,000 school building bonds.
The people wanted the bonds, they want to build
ne? and better schools for their children even when
faced with a possible tax rate Increase as Mr. Dickey
suggested, liiey said so on Saturday, May 12 in all
but five of the precincts In Cherokee County.
Since the $500,000 school bonds will be floated,
the reduction of the tax rate at this time does not
seem to be a sound business or political move.
