2.04 MILL STATE LEVY
COMMISSION BELIEVES INCREASE
is NECESSARY.
viii Raise $774,oOo Against $7s7 1925
in 1914, the Decrease Being Due
to Surplus in Treasury.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver, --That the state tax levy
this year will be about 2.0i mills was
the opinion of the members of the
state board of equalization, which met
in executive session with the state tan
commission in an attempt to reach an
agreement on state assessed Valua
tons and the probable needs of the
coming year. Last years levy was
l.39 mills.
Figuring on basis of the same val
uatiou and the same general needs as
last year, the levy would have to be
2.0lS25 mills to take care OF the spec
ial appropriations But with the
lower assessed valuation of the state
the members Of the board figure II
will run up to 2.0i.
State Auditor MulniN estimated that
the revenue from the mill levy would
have to be about $4,000, as compared
with $7S7,&25 last year. The dccrea'.
is due to surplus of $&l,5&9 left Oven
after paying out last years appropria
tons.
The valuation OF the state this year
is $tl.209,liG less than last year
This more than cOuuteracts the de
crease in special appropriations and
the surplus from last year In
creased revenues from various state
Offices in fees, etc. tend to act AS =
balance wheel.
The hearing of complaints from per
sons and companies taxed has come tC
