Therefore PLEASE be sure you list the TOWNSHIP OF MARATHON as your place
of residence on your Income Tax Return. This also holds true for your
vehicle registration. If you have rental property, ask your tenants to
do the same. If we receive our fair share of these State revenues, we
will hopefully continue to keep our Tax Levy for the Town at a minimum.
