township trustees quite generally to
lower the levy in their respective
townships for building township roads
Only one township. Timber Creek. has
levied as much as mills for road
building where last year. Timber
Creek, Eden. Liberty and Bangor all
levied ; mills. LeGrand, Logan and
Washington have levied only mills
for road building. and Vienna levied
only 25 mills None Of the townships
levied less than mills last year. The
road levies of other townships are
Greencastle, Linn and Taylor. 3 mills;
Eden and Marion 3.5 mills and Lis
comb. Iowa. Liberty, State Center,
Bangor, Minerva, Marietta, and Jeffer-
