LOSES LIFE IN Forty and Eight Group To Back Helper Man For State Post David County Taxes By Two Mills !r house-to-hous- Pvt. School Levy May Increase World War II struck home in Hel. per again very vividly recently when Mr and Mrs James L. Bruno of this city received a telegram from the WTar Department advising them that their son, Staff Sergeant James L. Bruno was killed in action on July IS in the Italian theatre. He was with the infantry. Born in Helper March 27, 1921, Sgt. Bruno entered the armed forces on November 3, 1942. He received his training in Camp White and Camp Adair in Oregon and has been overseas since April of this year. S.Sgt. Bruno has lived his entire life in Helper and was a graduate from Carbon high school with the class of 1940, and attended Carbon college one year prior to entering the U. S. Army. He was employed by the Peerless Coal company as a miner before being inducted. As a youngster he was active in American Legion junior baseball in Helper. Besides his parents, Sgt. Bruno is survived by two brothers, Adolph of Helper and Ernest Bruno of Peerless. Memorial service arrangements are pending additional word from the War Department. When they are held, services will be in the St. An. thony Catholic church under the dir. ection of the Rev. T. A. Butler. fry With the Carbon school diptrlct tax levy up to the maximum, which will be an increase of 2 mills over last year, taxpayers in the county ran expect to pay more taxes in 1945 than they paid in 1944, B. II. Young, clerk, predicted today. According to Mr Young the county commissioners will meet next Mon. day to set the county levy, which he said will be the same as 1944, 8.9 mills. The school levy will rise from 13 to 15 mills. An assessment of V mill has been allowed the Carbon Water Conservancy District, which is a tax not borne by the taxpayers prior to 1944. From a report reaching Mr Young's office it appears that the state will reduce their levy from one.tenth to three.tenths of a mill. This won't be known until next Monday. Mr Young based his assumption that the levy for the county in general would be increased in the pro. portion of the increase allowed the school district, by Helper and Price cities and other incorporated towns in the county establishing the same levy as in 1944. The Helper city council will meet tonight for the purpose of setting the 1945 levy, which this year i8 16 mills, and which Is very likely to remain the same.

In communing on the success of the drive Mr Hyde paid a line tribute to Darwin Gardner and Jack Mohn, scoutmasters for the LDS and Moose troops respectively, who laid off their jobs with the railroad to direct their troops In making the drive. He also expressed appreciation to the Mutual Merc. Helper Furniture & Hardware, and Helper City for donating the use of trucks and cas to operate them. "The youngsters who make up the Scout troops deserve a pat on the back along with their leaders," Mr Hyde said. When asked about future paper drives in the county Mr Hyde said that the committee would be very happy to organize and plan the dates for such a drive and handle ail ship, ping details, but he felt the real im. petus should come from the ciiizenry. He suggested a possible depot for paper at various stores in the com. munity, where 'periodically the paper could be brought in bundles and left with the storekeeper. more The committee will make details of the drive this week is as soon as definite announcement completed. - ? BODGE STREET GETS COAT OF ROCK ASPHALT FIRE SWEEPS HILLS IN RAINS ANO After waiting nearly three years to complete a paving project, Dodge street last week received a coat of rock asphalt, and residents of that street no longer will 'be bothered by unpleasant dust.

In addition to paving Dodge street the contractor made a thorough repair job of the remainder of paving throughout the city. According to M. O. Porter, city street supervisor, Mr Lamph will lay a coat of rock asphalt on the city hall driveway and the en. trances to the city garages and shop buildings, sometime this week.

About ten men fought the flames with shovels, six of these being members of the grazing service, and some miners assisting. Mr Dillard stated that the vital period for forest fires was on its way. Hazards have been held back so far by rains which have kept vegetation in this district flourishing and damp, but from now on careful observation will be kept to make sure all fires are controlled farly if tbey occur at all.
