COUNTY LEVY BUT HALF MILL
HIGHER THAN THAT OF
LAST YEAR.
STOCKMEN HIT HARDEST
Special Bounty and Inspection Tax Of
Four Mills by the State Will Ma.
terially Increase Taxes Of Range
Men-LocaI School District Levy
Is Increased.

The board Of county commissioners
yesterday fixed the tax levy for the
year, after which the special session
called for that purpose was adjourned.
A Slight Increase.
The regular county levy Is one-half
mill higher than last year owing to
the fact that the high school board
increased their levy by that much In
order to raise funds for the construc-
tion Of buildings. When the bill Great,
ing Musselshell county was passed
and the valuation of Fergus county
reduced three and quarter million
dollars thereby, 1t was feared that It
would be necessary to materially In
crease the general levy, but by care
full financing, the board will be able
to get along without the increase.
Just at present the county treasury 10
approximately $4,000 better off than
It was at the same period last year.
