"The net result," commented Patrick Healy, Jr., chairman of the state tax commission, "ap-pears to be that the total taxes exacted will be considerably larger than ever before. It is ap-parent that many of the increas-es come in units that have con-siderable taxable wealth; and the decreases are confined quite largely, though not entirely, to areas where the total property taxed is rather small. "One agency the Utah Tax-payers' Ass'n calculates that the total taxes charged against Utah property this year will to $44,005,000, an increase of 17.6 percent in a single year. When the final figures are in we expect the increase to be somewhat larger. In any event the countv treasurers as a group should collect more than. $7 this iyear for every $0 they collected last year. "We think these figures are 'approximately correct; but more exact figures will be available after some weeks, when county auditors forward reports that are now due." state, all but two (Murray, with a 0.55 mill decrease, and Park City with a decrease of 0.24 mill) increased their local school dis-trict levies as compared with those for 1950. However, since the state property tax for school purposes was decreased 1.75 mills, the record shows a net decrease in property tax levies for school purposes in 18 school districts, and a net increase in 22 districts. In Uintah county the 1.75 mill decrease in the state levy was more than offset by an increase of 2.15 mills in the local school levy. With an increase of about 12 per cent in assessed valuation, the Uintah school district stands to collect a substantially larger revenue from property taxes this year than it did last. Uintah county levied .40 mill less this year than it did last, so that the total levy in mills against pro-perty in Uintah county is the same this year as last. All property taxpayers in 10 Utah counties will find this year that the total mill levy charged against their property is less than it was last year though some may have to pay more tax-es if their assessed values went up. Those counties are Beaver, Daggett, Emery, Grand, Iron, Kane, Piute, Rich, Wasatch and Washington. In contrast the to-tal mill levy was increased in every taxing unit of 9 counties: Box Elder, Carbon, Duchesne, Juab, Sevier, Tooele, Utah, We-ber and Wayne. In Cache county there were decreases in two taxing areas, and increases in 18; in Davis a decrease in 1 area, and increases in 17: in Garfield decreases in increased the local levies in an aggregate of more than 1.75 mills. Otherwise the total of all the property tax levies would the same number of mills in 1951 as in 1950; 20 lowered their mill levies, and 31 increased them. With 40 school districts in the j The amount of taxes levied, in i dollars and cents, depends not only on the mill levy but also on the assessed valuation. As- - sessed values have increased in every county in the state, and, so far as preliminary figures in-dicate, in every school district, except Jordan and possibly Tin-ti- c. Hence, over the state as a! whole, the retention of last years mill levy, would mean increases,' sometimes slight, and sometimes! substantial, in the amount of! taxes charged. Of the 29 counties in the state, 13 retained the 1950 Jevies for county purposes; 6 increased the county levies, and 10 decreased them. Out of 205 cities and towns in Utah, according to the reports, of the county auditors to the state tax commission, 143 levied STATE TAX COMMISSION NEWS HIGHLIGHTS Salt Lake City, Nov. 8 The total property tax levy, in mills, s higher this year than it was last year in 147 taxing areas in the state; lower in 90, and shows no change in 3, the trio being all the taxing areas in Uintah county, this w shown by a study of the tax levies of the various governmental units, as reported to the state tax commission. The state has 205 cities and towns of which the commissions, councils or boards fix the tax levies for local municipal pur-poses It also has 29 counties in which the levy is county wide, and 40 school districts, which also cover property both within and outside municipal boundar-ies. This makes a total of 274 municipal, county and school governing bodies, each of which sets a local levy. The state imposes a state-wid- e levy on property, for school equalization purposes. This rate, fixed at 6.3 nulls this year, is 1.75 mills lower than was the corresponding levy of 8.05 mills imposed in 1950. Hence in the 147 taxing areas in which the total property tax levy is in-creased, the local governing bo-dies of the towns, cities, coun-ties or school districts must have LARK NEWS Joy Seal 901 Jl Mr. and Mrs. Gene Prowse and Sons of New Mexico, formerly of Lark, are visiting with Mr. iTowse's mother and family.
