From Oregon State Rites for Amerigo Perini Held Here Sunday Afternoon 1 Rate of About 23 Mills Based on $21,569.87 to Be Raised by Taxation. DOO OWNERS TO PAY TAX AT CITY HALL. The city tax rate w ill be ap proximately 6 mills less than last year if the 1942-43 city budget os approved by the budget commis sion is okeyed by the county as sessor. Despite an increase on some items due to the war the total amount to be raised by tax ation for 1942-43 w ill be approxi mately $6,000 less. These amounts have been consistently reduced during the past few years. In 1940 the amount to be raised by taxa tion was $28.015.25; in 1941, $27,- 319.00 and in 1942-43, $21,759.00. Based on the above amount the city tax rate for the period w ill figure approximately 23 mills against a rate of 29.2 for 1941. Included in the 1942-43 budget is $350.00 for defense and main tenance of the armory: $225.00 for firemen's insurance and $2,000 fo r drainage and sewage disposal purposes. Q ty officials and others believe that Cottage Grove may have to eventually build a sew age disposal plant and this sum may be designated as a sinking fund.
