County A ssessor George W.
Sutton announced that taxes will
be down in Curry County for the
1957-58 fiscal year.
It was cheering news , indeed
to the poor and pained taxpayer,
who is generally accustomed to
seeing taxes and prices move in
the other direction.
Reductions range from a 18.4
drop in part of Ophir, to a 6. J
drop at Port Orford.
Brookings city residents w ill
pay only a 18.0 mill levy f o r
the municipal government, com
pared with 18.6 last year.
They will pay a 7.4 Port D is
trict tax, that they didn't h a v e
to worry about last year, but they
can breathe a lot e a sie r about the
school levy for D istrict 17 C,
which is only 79. 9 mills compared
with 97.1 last year, a drop of 17.2
m ills.
The total millage drop in the city
of Brookings, which Includes the
general county tax is from 129.4
to 118.8 a drop of 10«6 m ills.
