LINCOLN, Aug. S.-(Special )-State
Treasurer Hall is not in sympathy with
the action Of State Board OF Assess
ment In cutting down the levy from that
OF last year. He believes Il will deplete
The treasury and gives the following as
his reasons. together with an explanation
regarding the state bridge levy. He says:
Referring to the rates. Of taxation as

OF one-tenth OF q mill for the state aid

expended according TO law"
tenths of a mill, Instead OF one-tenth, as
the board endeavored TO do.
II is my opinion that the two-tenth-mlll
as fixed by. the legislature must prevail

In the fixing OF the four and one-tenth

In my opinion. the levy should have
