Show 9 — " " : ' i J ' THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE They’rcTLooking Mhead to Better Meals School Units Get Call To Cut Costs Realty Valuations ' M if i WEDNESDAY MORNING JUNE 22 1938 v ‘f Announcement the state tax com' mission intends to reduce real es' tate valuation in Salt Lake City by 13000000 and a warning from Tax Commissioner Howard P Leatham for taxing units to start "trimming sail" featured a meeting on district school levies Tuesday at the Capitol The tax commission and the state board of education met as a joint body tp consider the requests of the Salt Lake City and Grand county school districts to fix levies this year above the maximum allowed by law The request of Salt Lake City Was- - granted and that of Grand eounty denied and in the discus ion preceding action of the -- two" boards Mr Leatham predicted there will be a decrease in tax collections this fall 7 Mr Leatham asked A E Eber-harchairman of the city school board if the budget might not be reduced as a result of the public hearing on it next Tuesday at 7:30 p m in the city and county building No Budget Change His answer was he did not think there would be much change because the people of Salt Lake City want good schools “Of course they want good schools” Mr Leatham retorted "but they want good economies too” The tax commissioner declared that the high budgets of Salt Lake City have enabled it to “rob every other school district of their best teachers” Grand county asked the state hoards for permission to increase its levy from 10 to 12 mills but this was denied because it was believed the county is predicating the increase on the assumption the D & R G W railroad again will fail to pay a portion of its taxes Ordinarily the railroad pays 50 per cent of the taxes In that county but last year i$ paid only 25 per cent of the d to it and the county school district had to borrow $17000 to meet maintenance and operation expenses It was explained to representatives of the district there is no limit to the levy which can be fixed for the payment of debts It was suggested therefore that the county fix a levy to pay off the $17000 keep the levy for maintenance and operation at 10 mills and then next fall if the D & R G W again fails to pay its taxes charged there will be no need for further borrowing and the levy will prove ade- quate The state boards left the way open however for Grand county to ask for reconsideration of the dedt I )t J i f I taxee-charge- 10-m- t cision Small Child Makes Injury Recovery Julia Poulson daughter of Mr and Mrs Roy E Poulson of 838 Windsor street who

Salt Lake City holders of real estate the commission will order the reduction Levy Limit fixed On a basis of a total city valuation of $131000000 and a valuation per school child of $1070 the Salt Lake City board of education cannot fix a levy of more than 10 mills without the consent of the two state boards It requested a levy of 111 mills to meet a burget of $2711000 Last year the levy was 115 mills and the budget $2806076 The state boards gave the city to fix a levy next August permission ' which will produce the same reve-- : I ue as would be produced by a levy of 111 mills against
