State leux Eixed

Des Moines. July 15.-The state levy
was fixed at 81 mills by the state eN-
ecutive council Saturday. This is an
Increase of one-tenth of mill. The
law adds two special levies of one
tenth OF mill each. The total levy.
therefore for this year is 80 mills.
1t was necessary to increase the levy
by one-tenth of mill because the stat
ute requires the council to fix such q
levy as will raise Sl.50o,ooo this year.
instead of sl,4Oo,ooo, as last year. This
additional requirement of 100000 is
responsible for the increase.
The special levies are those of the
