The News believes that 16 mill lev
y would be ample for our needs and
says: The tax levy of 1911 was4 mills
less than for 1910. but with the con-
templated improvements at Greeley
our levy is likely to be raised about 9
mills. This is the impression given
out there by those who have know.
ledge of affairs at headquarters. AS
an independent body our tax levy, made
according to our needs, would very
likely be considerably less than if we
remain part Of Weld.
The amount of 81 ,22l $50, estimat-
ed assessed valuation of this territory
for 1911. is based on figures for schoo!
districts. furnished by one of our coun-
ty officials.
The clerk Of Philips county states
by letter that he beieves we would
nave no difficulty in maintaing new
county with the valuation we have
mentioned. He states also that for
several years their expense in renting
a building for court house was only
S25 month.

County Division A Live Issue

Under the above heading the Kcota
News gives some facts CLEANED about
county division from which We clip in
tercsting extracts.
&C. o. Dodder has received a letter
from the clerk of Motfat county a
county erected about a year ago. and
from this letter we quote:
"Our assessed valuation amounts TO
about Sl,250, 900, and our ordinary
county revenue will amount to about
S23, 900 on a l9-miIl levy, and We feel
that that will be sufficient for ordinary
county purposes.
Books, furniture, two typewrtCrs,
and other necessary supplies cost about
81, 700. We rent II building, construct
ed vault in same at the expense Of
$3.50.
The transcribing Of the records per.
tanning 10 property located in Mglrat
county is not yet completed, but we es.
innate it will cost this county about
sl,5OO."
Speaking Of the proposed county the
News says:
This northeast territory, about
thirty-six miles square, when the fed.
eral census was taken in 1910 contain.
ed two precincts as follows: Grover.
precinct 81, population 1864; Raymer,
precinct II, population s6i. Total pop
uation according TO the census is 2,s2S,
which would place the proposed new
county in the fifth class.
"The area Of the new county as
nearly as we can estimate ii, would be
about l,lss square miles, which Is
much smaller than Mofat county, bu,
even with the smaller territory our as.
sessed valuation would be nearly as
great ~ 'hpir{ "

Mr.. E. G. Hoyt Discusses New
County
EDITOR ENTERPRISE:

EDITOR ENTERPRiSE:
My attention was called 10 the publ
cation in your paper Of the report of
The meeting Of the people OF Bucking-
ham in regards to the forming of a new
county. and thinking it no more than
right that you be in possession of the
facts, we submit the following and
hope they will be received with the
same kindness that they are written.
! will try TO present them as clearly
rs possible. Also after have given
you tle figures, would you permit me
to set you right as to the county adj
mnistration resolutions.
First We will take up the expense of
runEng county. but let me say that
all salaries. etc. quoted are taken from
.he Colorado statutes, and it is gnnec
essasy to look elsewhere for that por-
ton Of these figures. These expenses
that are added up.is called FIXED cx-
pcnse that is never lower. but always
much higher.

Commercial Club Meeting

TIE Commercial Club met last Sat
urday and considered some matters of
vital Importance. The matter of seed
was discussed. II was thought best to
appoint committee 70 look up the
matter Of seed. t. find out where sup
plies could be had, prices, ct,. This
committee consists of c. II. Scott, l..
A. Whittier and II. W. Reed. The lat
ter said ne did not fee! that he would
care to deal in seeds except he would
take orders and fill them. but il the
committee thought hest he would ten
der them the use of his rooms to store
seeds when shipped in without cost.
This is very generous on Mr.. Reed S
part and we are sure the people will
appreciate his offer and endeavor 10
get seeds just as soon after they ar
rive as possible. and not impose too
much on free offer.
The matter Of prosecuting further
investigation was called up. Tn. Ray,
mer member OF the general committee
reported that he had sent a list of
questions TO all the towns invited to
participate in the investigation. That
keota and Stoneham reported satisfied
with the questions. Sligo has reported
that they did not care to investigate
No word had beeu received from Buck.
ingham. but report WAS that they had
investigated on their own hook and did
not appear to care to investigate fur
ther. The proposed questions were
read. 1t WIS voted to instruct the
Raymer member of the committee TO
20 ahead with the list Of questions and
make as thorough an investigation as
possible. 1t seemed to the Raymer
people that inasmuch as all at the Ray
mer mass meeting had asked for fur
thcr information, that it would look
like bad faith TO refuse TO go further
after we had started. This does not
mean that the Raymer people have de-
cided that we should divide. 1t simply
means that we are willing TO see the
evidence.

Of organizing the new county.
Now we will take look into our
county. If we should make general
county levy of 10 mills, which is as
high ss we could go, we would have
just SIS, 5,55i, as 10 mills is the statutory
limit. which leave US in the RED So, 746
on our county expenses Of 81, $50 with
out schools being considered.
Noy let us look to the school money.
The law says the county commissioners
shall levy not to exceed A mills for the
general school fund which would give
US about So, 900 to be apportioned among
about ten or more school districts.
That is an enormous amount. isn't it!
The law says no school district shall
vote special levy to exceed Is mills.
so where, ! ask you, are we going TO
get the money to run our schools?
| hear some one say VOTE BONDS.
Just as ! expected. But most Of US
are bonded now for al! we can stand.
Why? Because we have not got enough
taxable property to run our schools, so
how could we run county?
When we were in Raymer to your
mass meeting, heard Mr.. Rumsey say
that by raising the valuation 3 times on
land and making levy Of 40 mills We
conld run a 5th class county and have
something left, just how much DO not
remember. How are we to make 40
mill levy when the law does not allow
it! II means bonds, BONDS. BONDS,
for which the County Commissioners
can make speciql levy to pay the ~
TEKGSr.
When an Investor comes to your town
he docs not ask you where your county
seat is. but HOW MUCH IL your tax? be-
cause the tax that he pays is a part OF
his expense in running his business.
Now will answer your question,
''WHAT EFFECT WOULD COUNTY
DIVISION At THIS TINE HAVE ON
OUR PEOPLE?"
This is the effect:
General county levy limit Gn mills) 10
Special levy for road purposes only 5
Special school levy by Commissioners 4
Levy for payment on bonds 2
Special levy in school Dist. limit 10
State levy 3
