must be the increase and the board
members feel confident that hey have
lett the levy just as lew as possible
and still protect the credit of the coun-
ty. One big item in the countys ex-
pense account is the court expense,
which runs into many thousands of
dollars each year. Heretofore this
has been paid out Of the general fund,
but there was always deficiency. A
new law has now been passed proyid-
ing for the levying of tax not to ex-
coed mills for court expenses and
the board took advantage OF this in
making levy CT mills for court ex-
penses SO as to relieve the county
general fund. The 2 mills levy will
net nearly meet the court expense in
Malaska county, but it will relieve the
deficiency in the other fund The
bridge expenses are also much higher
nov than in former years. Where
there were only a few hundred county
bridges some years ago, there are
now nearly 1000 and it makes a con-
tlnual and heavy drain upon the treas
ury to keep them in repair. Conse-
quently the levy for this fund was in
creased l mill. The poor fund levy
was also increased l mill. In other
instances reductions have been made.
The state levy is L mill less and the
orphans home . less.
The taxable value of Mahaska com-
ty, including railroads express, tele-
graph and telephone companies, and
less all exemptions, is $7,416,O91 90.
Therefore the tax collections under
the new levy of 1928 mills should be
over $165,OOO. hut of course it is al
ways impossible to collect the fun
amount.

Total ...............

In general this levy is the same as
that OF previous years, there being a
Jew reductions and a few increases
in different funds in order to better
meet the needs of the county treas
ury. AS whole the levy is 81 mills
higher than last year. but this increase
has been made absolutely necessary
by the increased expenses OF the coun-
ty.. Considerable talk has been made
about Mahaska county's increasing in
debtedness, but whether or not pOr-
ton of this may have resulted from
alleged extravaganza in years gone by,
it is a certainty that the county's ex-
penses are much heavier today than
a few years ago and the increase in ex-
penses has been more rapid than has
been the increasing of the levy. The
county supervisors have always been
slow to increase the burden upon the
tax payers but 1t has come TO the time
that the longer the delay, the greater
