Santa Fe New Mexico, April o.
At a conference today between Gov
ernor William j. Mills and Territor-
ial Auditor VIM. G. Sargent, the
territorial tax levy for the year 1911
was agreed upon. After careful
consideration and upon the urgent
recommendation of Gov. Mills, Au-
ditor Sargent fixed the new levy at
IL mills.
The new levy becomes effective on
Dec l, 1910, when the first half of
the taxes for 1911 falls due. The
new tax rate is 81 mills lower than
the present rate, which is l4.45
mills, and the lowest territorial
levy in nine years.
Too much credit for the reduction
in the tax rate cannot be given Gov
. ernor Mills. The new levy shows
that he has made good his pledge to
the people of New Mexico on the
occasion of his Inauguration, when
he promised an economical and bus
inesslike administration of affairs
while in office. 1t proves that he
has taken the initial step in this d.
rection in securing a substantial re-
duction in the amount of taxes to
be paid by the people.
