Mt Pleasant City Officials
1883 - 1946
Submitted by Ben Callahan
Compiled from the Minutes of
the Mt. Pleasant Town Board (1883-1909)
Elections
were held annually on the 1st Monday in May. Town tax rates were usually set in the fall
or winter after the May election. Collection
was begun when the tax rate was set, but the final revenue settlement was
not reported until May of the following year, thus taxes set and collected
for the “Fiscal Year” 1883/84 were not reported until May of 1884, etc.
