The board of supervisors increas
ed the tax levy for general county
purposes for the 1920 one NIL
at their regular October session the
past week. r.,
The new levy is IL mills. The
adjustment of levies in the eleven
separate districts Of the county
created for road Improvement pur-
poses causes variation in the lev
les as of districts. IA some districts
the new levy means an increase IN
taxes while in others the adjustment
in the district compensates for the
one mill increase for general coaA'
ty purposes.
This is true in District 2, in which
is located the city of Columbus. The
levy for all purposes in the district
is Q mills or mill less than the
levy last year. This compensates Tor
the general cotnty increase OF /
mill and makes the county tax TOR
the district the same rate as last
year.
