The school directors have called a
public meeting this evening for the
purpose of having persons who desire
to be eXonerated from school taxes.
1t is hoped that the directors will care
fully investigate the reasons given by
all who attend and wish to be put on
the list. There has been great
deal of dissatisfaction caused on ac-
count of unequal taxation in the way
of low assessment, non-assessment,
generations, etc. The maximum
levy (26 mills) has been enforced for
several years, yet this does not meet
the expenditures. BY the action Of
the governor in cutting the state ap-
preparations this borough suffers the
loss of about 1925. This deficit cam
not be overcome unless the people re-
spond to the levies enforced.
