Many Towns
Pay Higher Tax
than Plattsmouth
Total Levy Here 46.10 Kills. Con
pared to 73.30 Mills at Gering
Foresee Further Cuts.
Taxes in Plattsmouth, which have
been gradually reduced during the
past few years, while many towns
have increased, although still con
siderably higher than Lincoln or Om
aha, and slightly above Nebraska
City, total 4C.10 mills for the cur
rent year, 1935, as shown in an ar
ticle published iu the Journal short
ly after the adjournment of tL-e Cass
county board of equalization, early
in September. There are a consider
able number of towns over the etate
j with higher levies, notably the town
of Gering, which heads the liat ith
73.30 mills.
The Plattsmouth tax levy is made
up of the following items: State,
2.15 mills (a constant figure over the
entire state); County, 3.95 mills (a
constant figure for the entire coun
ty); Schools, 14. CO mills; School
Eond3, 1.S0 mills; and City. 23.60
mills. Total, 46.10 mills.
Owners of automobiles in Platts
mouth which are assessed at $500,
find themselves faced v ith necessity
of paying taxes totaling $23.05 in ad
dition to the regular license fee of
$3 for light cars or $5 for the larger
cars. Cars assessed at $100 will pay
the sum of $4.61 besides the regular
license cost.
Homes valued at $1,000 by the as
sessor will pay $46.10 taxes. The first
half of the 1935 real estate tax. al
though payable at any time after
January 1st, does not become delin
quent until May 1st, and the second
half becomes delinquent next Sep
tember 1st.
In the near future the Journal will
publish a list of towns over the state
in which taxes are higher than in
Plattsmouth there being a consider
able number of them.
j One thing that holds the levy up
' here is the rai3in of revenue to pay
i
eff existing indebtedness as well as
interest on outstanding bonds, many
of which have come down from forty
and fifty years ago, when they were
carried along year after year with
out reducing the principal and in
some instances not even keeping up
the interest. About half of the city's
total annual budget is made up of
bond debt payments and interest on
! bonds, none of which are now delin
The high school bond levy of 1.60
mills will expire in a few more years.
Ja3 practically all of the money requir-
been raised and is invested in inter-
est bearing securities, pending tne
