Milford town, by doing away with the special improvement levy of one mill, is able to reduce the total from 11 to 10 mills, while the Beaver city levy stands at 18.5 the same as last vear. The state tax commission has decreed de-creed a raise of .4 mill in the state levy and this, with the mill increase for county schools, will boost the general levy of the county tax payer 1.2 mill over last year despite the decrease de-crease given by the county commission. commis-sion. For Milford town taxpayers, however, the increase will be only .2 of a mill by reason of the decrease in the town levy. Beaver city taxpayers tax-payers will get the full benefit of the 1.2 mills increase, since the city levy remains the same as last year. |
