MAY ADVANCE
PART OF LEVY
Quarter Mill Tax for Purpose
Of Promoting immigration
is PetitiOned

Throughout the sixteen counties OF
the Missouri Slope petitions are be-
ing prepared for circulation asking
the various boards of county commits
sioners to levy tax OF one fourth
of a mill upon the assessed valuation
OF the property Of such counties to
be used for the purpose OF promoting
and assisting the work of inducing
new settlers to make their homes in
the great Missouri Slope country.
The boards of commissioners may
do this under Sections 2402 and 24OS
of the Revised Codes, if there is
sufficient number of signers on the
petitions. This work is being done
by the various county development
leagues and the Missouri Slope De-
velopment League and will assure
more revenue that may be used by
these organizations in exploiting the
resources of their respective commun-
tiles.
The question as to whether or not
the county commissioners may ad-
vance a portion of the amount as
soon as the levy is made was consid-
cred, and Secretary Slosson, of the
Missouri Slope Development League.
asked the attorney general for an Of
fetal opinion. He received the fol-
lowing reply:
Bismarck, May IA, 1912.
Mr. J. B. Slosson, Secretary,
Missouri Slope Development League
Bismarck, N. D.
o%f ic
in receipt of your letter of May 10,
1912, in which you say that the
boards of county commissioners in
sixteen counties of the Missouri Slope !
have been petitioned to and are ex-'
pected to levy a tax not exceedingly
one fourth of mill on the dollar
upon the assessed valuation Of the
property of such counties to raise
money to be used for the purpose OF
promoting and assisting immigration,
as provided by section 2402 and 2403
Of the Revised Code. You say that
such petitions will be presented to
the several boards Of county commits
sio11ers before the time Of making
the levy of taxes in July of this year,
and you PROFOUND this question: Il
would like to have your official opin-
ion as to whether or not the commits
sioners of each county could, if they
should see fit, advance portion of
the sum to be thus raised after max
ing such levy, in order that the coun- |
ty leagues and the parent league can
get into action and secure some of the |
results this year. which we would
otherwise lose if we have to wait un-
til 1918 for funds to commence the
work."
Our answer to this question is,
yes. After the levy has been made
the commissioners may anticipate the
funds to be derived from the taxes, 1,
and advance a portion at onnce to
al din this work. beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
ANDREW MILLER,
Attorney General.

eral clears up the financial situation

The destruction of the major part CT the
