DIES MONIES. Aug. 6--(Special.) THE
executive council today lowered the state
levy from 3.2 mills to mills. The things
that make this possible are the increase I'm
the assessment Of the railroads and the
fact that there has been a considerable in
crease in the amount OF fees paid to the
different state ofices that are available for
general appropriations. Especially has
there been an Increase in the fees paid
under the inheritance tax law, two estates
in this city having paid to the state
treasurer $4,000. In the auditors and secre-
tary OF states offices the fees have also
very greatly increased. The legislature
taxation at $4,000 900 and ordered the execu-
tive council to fix the levy at such figure
that that amount would be raised. Be-
cause OF this increase in the revenue TO the
state from the railroads, and in fees TO the
state offices, which the Legislature did not
have knowledge Of, the council ia enabled
to nx the levy lower than It has been for
the past several years.
The figures on the assessment OF tele-
phone and telegraph lines are now COM
pleted The assessment OF the telegraph
lines Of the state has been lowered from
s671, ,s23 to $671. .79O. The Western Union was
left unchanged at s5ss012 and the Postal
