The funding tax levy, which has
been made for long term of years,
has come to an end. This fund was
used to pay the old railroad bonds
issued by the state in 1858. There is
still $140, 900 of these bonds outstand-
ing, but there is enough money in
sight for this fund to pay this amount
The prison building fund is the new
item added to the list of funds for
which levy is made.
