Show SET TEN MILLS AS 1 NEW SCHOOL LEVY SCHOOL TAXES HAVE BEEN CUT IN HALF PAST FOUR YEARS The County Board of Education has made the school levy for the ensuing en-suing year ten mills. This is a drop of one mill over the levy of the year just past. The school levy has been dropping steadily the past few years, from what is thought to be a maximum of 19.8 mills tax, in effect in 1924. However, it is recollected that once the levy in Milford was 21. It is enough to know that the school tax has been reduced fifty per cent in four years. The tax in this county was so high until just recently, that sheepmen were kept out of Beaver county, preferring pre-ferring to graze their sheep in adjoining ad-joining counties where the mill levy was not so great. A building program was the cause of the high tax; with the retiring of the school bonds, the tax has subsequently been greatly reduced. |
