It is doubted in some quarters if many of the members of the legislature realized that they were raising the limitations of school district levies in such a wholesale manner. This Is for the reason that another feature in the bill passed by the legislature and signed by the governor was the subject of considerable debate. In effect, If not by design, the proposed appropriation of $2,000,-00- 0 from the sales tax proceeds for school building aid in those districts of the state which could buildings, urday and Sunday.

And, lest there should be any misunderstanding to the effect additional that such special levies applied only to school districts which were attempting to qualify for participation in the $2,000,000 fund, the new laW provides in another section: "Nothing herein shall limit or prevent a school district not receiving such emergency supplemental state aid from making the additional special levies authorized by this act. As to the bonding requirement in paragraph (a) above, the legislature enacted, in the same series of bills, an act which raised the present bonding, limit of four per cent (3 per cent in Salt Lake City) of the value of taxable property in the district as shown by the last equalized assessment roll for county purposes. to four per cent (in all districts) of one hundred per cent (100) of the reasonable fair cash value of taxable property in the district. Since the law was amended, in 1947, to fix assessed value at 40 per cent of the reasonable fair cash value, the effect of the new act is to increase the bonding authority of the school district times what to two and one-ha- lf it was Tuesday, May 8, when this new act (House Bill 148) became CHOICIt Mercury offers Mm effective.

Mrs. Frankie Murphy, the public health nurse from East Carbon left Wednesday for Monticello for a mental health clinic. She returned late Friday. Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

Scott Jeffs drove his mother to Provo Monday to keep an appointment with an eye specialist. Mr. W. C.

It is not at all impossible, but it is rather improbable, that any school district in the state can comply with all the procedure necessary to increase its bonded indebtedness to the new limit, and market the bonds prior to July 1, 1953. The consent of the property taxpayers of the district at an election is one of the requirements. But, regardless of whether it can qualify for state aid from the emergency $2,000,000 fund for supplemental net building needs. school districts have authority, under House Bill 146 to levy a total of 48 Or 50 mills, over a period of four or five years, respectively, for building requirements and debt service. Thus scchool districts have authority to provide money for building through various channels as follows: (a) A few districts possible could qualify for participation in the $2,000,000 appropriated from the emergency relief fund (sales tax proceeds) in House Bill 146. (b) All districts have authority under the same act to raise by property taxes the proceeds of a levy of 12 mills for four years or of 10 mills for five years, as the ... ?r,"OnQO CiTi OFFICIAL REGISTRATION FIGURES SHOW 92 OF ALL MERCURTS BUILT n cuss rat 1M SfWCNf TIMM KAMI VV wlieAM trans-ntlul- Overdrive both optional at extra cost and illent-easynchronised itandard trantmiulon.
