Mills.

Total ............... ..'....''" E
The levy upon agricultural tracts |
of ten acres or over within the cor
pOrate limits is mills.
Much of the time of the council was
devoted to the question of the levy
and considerable discussion resulted.
The regular levy OF thirty-two mills
is an increase, of the previous levy
by three mills on account of the re-
duction in the value of city real es-
tate. made to meet conditions in the
country. Even with this increase in
the levy taxes will be less on account
of the lower valuation Of property.
When the matter Of the levy for the
new CITY hall was taken up differ
ence of opinion developed. Council
man Anderson wanted to make low
levy of not more than two mills, and
let the future generations take care
of the debt. Others, among them
the mayor insisted that the levy
should be three. mills, just as pro
posed to the people when the subject
was placed before them for their ap.
proval. Mayor Reynolds insisted
that a contract had been made with
the people before the election to the
effect that a levy Of three mills would
be made for the first five years at
least, for what are known as 800
bonds, and that the people had voted
with this understanding. He insisted
that ii was wrong for the council to
show bad faith in the matter. He
contended that the contract with the
public must be carried out to the let
ter. Attention was called by Mayor
Reynolds to the fact that the city had
funded and refunded the old artesian
we'll bonds now amounting TO $4,000.
instead OF paying them off and that
the city should arrange to pay its
debts.
Councilman Seibert offered a com
promise measure TO the Anderson
resolution to make the levy 21a mills
and upon this proposition a vote was
taken. On roll call Anderson, Pen.
ders and Seibert voted ave; Camp
field, Lafollette and Milligan voted
nay. Blattner being absent this made
the vote a tie and the mayor, having
power in such cases. promptly dec lar
ed the motion lost and the matter
goes over until next meeting.
Taxes in Oskaloosa for the year will
therefore be on the basis OF 1913
mills, or eight and .075 cents
on the dollar, according TO the com
bined levies as follows:
