Summary
The August 1998 Beaver Beacon urged St. James Township residents to support a summer vote continuing a quarter-mill property-tax contribution to the Beaver Island Historical Society. It said Peaine Township had historically matched the amount and described tax revenue as an important foundation for museum upkeep, information requests, projects, and Museum Week.
Evidence limits
The appeal records the proposed continuation and the Society’s rationale, not the election result, final millage authorization, or subsequent appropriations.
