BE it resolved by the board of county
commissioners in regular session that
a minute explaining the record of the
tax levy made in July, 1908, that the
explanation is as follows: That although
the levy appears upon the records as
made in mills, yet as q matter of fact
it was based upon an estimate of the
prospective needs of the county for the
ensuing year, computed according to
statute and amounting to $13, $50. That
the rate in mills upon the record is
based upon the valuation as returned by
the assessors. That the valuation as
returned by the state board was approx
imately the same and for that reason the
rate as charged against the property is
the same as that which appears in the
minutes of the July, 1908. meeting as
q method of tax levy. That the 8 mill
regular and 2 mill emergency combined
called for approximately the proper
amount of revenue. That the bridge
tax of 2 mills is based in like manner
upon the need. of the county for two
bridges costing 81. 6O0."
