SCHOOL LEVY
TWENTY MILLS
Levy Placed On Basis Of 20 Per Cest
of the Full Ca.k
Valuation
SAME AS THAT OF LAST YEAR
Will Raise SIS, 800 For School Dh-
trict Expenses

AT the special meeting of the
board of trustees of Independent
School District No 4, held Monday
night the tax levy for tie coming
year was fixed at 20 mills. This
levy will raise the sum of $l3, 500
for the defraying of the expenses
of the district.
The school board figures that
the levy of 20 mills will make the
school tax the same as it was last
year on account of the fact that
the levy last year was made on thu
full cash valuation plan while this
year the extensions are made on 40
per cent of the full cash value.
The total cash valuation of Inde-
pendent School District No 4 is
81 100000. The valuation on
which the school tax levy is based
is $3.50, 600.
The moneys the school district
will receive from the special ap-
portionment and from other
sources will probably bring the
total receipts up to the $4,000
mark. Last year the district re-
ceived $50. 740.69 and the expen-
ditures amounted to S17 ,267.13..
Independent School District No 4
is one of the richest school districts
of the county.

desac, Ida was hired to teach the
third grade and Miss Loretta
