A WISE PROVISION.
How The Schools Have
Been Safeguardcd.
BY THE COMMISSIONERS.
The Change From A Special
~ Hnwaro1 Tnvv
to General Levy.

The following letter sent last
spring to all the school districts in
the county, explains itself and its
connection with the tax levy:
Rathdrum, Ida, May I, 1904.
To School Dist. Clerks,
kootenai County, Idaho.
Enclosed find all necessary sup
plies for giving notice Of, and con-
ducting the annual school election
which occurs this year June s.
On account of the unsettled con-
dition Of the special school tax
question, the county commissions
ers have agreed to levy a general
school tax Of ten mills, instead Of
the usual Ave mills. Therefore
Dist's. that otherwise would vote
a ten mill special tax, will now
vote only five. as the same revenue
would be produced.
Most districts will not need a
special tax as heretofore levied, as
this general levy will have the ef-
feet Of doubling the apportion-
ments. FL
This expedient has been resort
ed to in order that there may be
no uncertainty about collecting the
school tax for the ensuing year.
Very truly yours
Il. c. Egbers, Co. Sup't.
There is growing realization,
throughout the county, that tht
provision made by the county
commissioners, for the school funt
in the general levy where the cor
porations cannot dodge it, is {
wise and masterly stroke. TIL,
more that the matter is looked in
| to the more one is convinced tha
it is the only way to anticipate
| and head off the corporations. Ye
in taking care of the schools in th'
general levy instead of leayin,
them to special levy, as in 1908
where it could be again contested
BY the corporations, the commits
sioners.have not increased, bu
have really lowered the total ta'
levy. This is made plain when on
considers that the increase, in TIN
general levy just made, is all il
the school fund levy, which in
crease in the general.levy is NOR
than made up for by the reductio
Of the special school levy through
out the county. Leaving out tn
school levy, the reduction in tn
general levy for 1904 is one ha
mill under that for 1903. This
shown by subtracting five and
half mills from 27 mills, the lev
of 1903, and 10 mills from 81 mill
: the levy Of 1904. Ed.
