Show WILL CUT $200,000 OFF STATE TAX LEVY That the state tax levy this year will be reduced by a total of about 5200,000 is the announcement made by the state board of equalization, which yesterday sent out the following communication in connection therewith to boards of county coun-ty commissioners: In conference with the governor and state auditor today the state board of equalization has decided to lower the state levy for this year to the extent of about $200,000. It was suggested that your attention be called to the conditions that are ex- i isting and that you be asked to do all in your power to cut your levies j for school purposes to the fullest ex- tent possible in keeping with the absolute ab-solute needs. It is unnecessary, we take it, to call your attention to the burdens that the people are called upon to j bear at this time. ' We hope you will take this sugges- tion in the spirit that it is intended. - I |
