FLASH BULLETIN
JuBt as THE LEADER was
going to press, we received an
cvificiRl report that the Freeport
Board of Education was pleas­antly
surprised in being in­formed,
that the oMicial
ment figures for school tax
purposes was set ai a;-- million
dollars instead of the 2 million-used
as an estimate basis by
the Board,
This could mean a cut of up
to 25% on the predicted 36
cents increase which would
reduce it to approjcimatsly 26
cents per $100 evaluation.
Freeport.conlinusEto have on©
of'the lowest school tax rates
in the county.
