Couinitty Setts Levies; Tax ip ye irs Hapipy of The tax levies of Franklin county took a slight drop Monday in most districts, but that doesn't mean that all the residents are going to pay less taxes this year. However, according to Michael D. Kunz, county auditor, there should be a slight decrease for some, especially in Preston where the largest decrease in levy was noted. The levies were set by the Board of County Commissioners Monday. The reason for the decrease in levies was mainly due to the increased valuation of the county. The increase came through revaluation of property, currently being done by the assessors office, an increase in the ratio for determining taxable amounts determined by the stale and new property on the role. The raising of the ratio means that a lower levy can bring in a similar or higher amount of tax money by increasing taxable valuation. This was done by the state to bring property ratios up to that the utilites. According to the tax levies set by the Franklin County commissioners Monday, there has been a reduction in the levies in all of the cities of the county and for the county itself. Decreases were due in part to an increase in the valuation in the county. According to the Franklin County auditors office, there was an increase in valuation in the county from $10,792,110 in 1971 to $11,408,470 in 1972. The increase was about six percent, Michael D. Kunz, county auditor said. Mr. Kunz said that some of the taxpayers will definitely feel a slight decrease in their taxes this year, particularly in the city erf Preston. In other areas the tax burden may remain similar to what it was last year, and in a few areas there may be a small increase because of the affect of the school district levies. The county tax levy for the general property tax was set at 4.6319 this year as compared to 4.6499 last year for a decrease of Clifton n, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Gregersen, suffered leg injuries last week while working at Cal Pack in Franklin.
