H. Young said last Friday $18,-803,8- 54, evening in submitting his recommendation to the board of county commissioners. An increase of mill in the levy for public welfare purposes over that of the old age pension and dependent children .6 fund levies in 1938 declared necessary because of the heavy relief load carried by the county departThe law ment of public welfare. makes it mandatory," Mr. Young said, to levy sufficient tax to provide funds amounting to 15 per cent of the total expenditures of the department. In 1938 the levy for county purposes was 9 mills. This year, after a lapse of five years, .2 mill is proposed for exhibition and advertising, but this would be made up, according to the clerks recommendation, by cutting the temporary transient relief, county infirmary, county physician, et cetera, fund by the same amount. Reduction of .1 mill in the bond sinking and interest fund is proposed. Others are the same as last year. Mr. Young proposed specific levies as follows: County general fund, 1.8 mills; county road, and bridge fund, 2 mills; county bond sinking and Interest fund, 2.5; public welfare fund, 2 2r indigent poor, temporary transient relief,' cetera,.. 3; exhibition and advertising, .2. The levy as proposed is the highest since 1934, when it was 11.3 mills. The clerk pointed out that the total levy would bring in funds estimated at $142,909, this being figured on the basis of 80 per cent collections. The commissioners will set the levy soon, probably at their next regular meeting on August 8. At that time, also, they will approve the levies for the various cities and towns in the county, and include levies for county schools and state and state schools. It is anticipated that state and state school levy will be about 3.5 mills higher than last year, or about 9 mills, and the Carbon district tax levy 13 mills, same as last year. is CREATION OF FIRE DISTRICT IS URGED Would Include Most Of Wooded Area Of County Under State Statute Establishment of a fire district including most of the wooded area of the county, as a means of providing greater protection against fire, was approved by the board of county commissioners at their meeting here last Friday evening.
