| committee on education unfavorably re-
ported G. B. No. AZ, the Ancheta school
fund bill, providing for levy of from
to mills.

of the bill be postponed indefinitely.
Mr.. Carr explained that under the
present law, the auditor was required to
levy school tax of not less than 2 nor
more than mills. He said that his bill
originally provided for a compulsory
levy of mills, but the committee had
cut this down to 3 mills, which that com
mittee had considered ample.

ing in its repeating clause and that it
was defective in leaving the matter of a
levy in the discretion of the county COM

were based on personality rather than
a desire to serve the public interest and
that such attempts we're "despicable."

of posgponing the bill because he con-
