Summary
The December 1985 Beaver Beacon published a comparison of Beaver Island’s 1984–85 taxable values, levies, retained-on-island funds, school share, and Peaine and St. James township line items. It emphasized that more than three quarters of collected taxes remained on the island and that the school received most of those retained funds.
