The levy of taxes for all state
purposes this year will be 2.53 mills.
This is 3 of mill less than last
year. which was the lowest in the
history Of the state. The reduction
comes from the revenue fund levy,
which is cut from 1.3 mills to mill
straight The other levies are fixed
by law, mill for school purposes,
2 mills for the funding tax fund, Il
of mill for soldiers relief, and %
of a mill for the university. State
| Auditor Dunn says he will urge
his proposition for abolishing the
i fixed levies in his biennial report to
the legislature. He would cut out
everything but the one mill school
tax, and have ali the other funds
cared for by appropriations from the
revenue fund, which could be al
tered from year to year to suit the
needs OF the state, just as at pre-
sent.
