CARRINGTON, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Foster County Historical Society is seeking the public’s support in approving the requested one-half mill increase in the Nov. 8 General election.

Mike Larson is the historical society vice president for Foster County.

Larson says the historical society also oversees the Putnam House, which he adds is in desperate need of repair.

The one-half mill increase on property taxes for a $100,000 home will pay around $2.25 a year. A $100,000 business will pay approximately around $2.50 a year.

Larson broke down what repairs are needed at the Putman House.

At this time, Larson says their mills cover basic expenditures and utilities. He added that donations are always accepted and appreciated, but they’re not enough by themselves.

The mill increase request will be on the Nov. 8 ballot for Foster County residents.
