employed at the Sloan shipyards.

COUNTY TAX LEVY
WILL Be HIGHER
TWO ELECTIONS AND SALARY
INCREASES WILL OFFSET RE-
DUCTIONS IN BUDGET

The tax levy in Thurston County
will be higher next year in the opin.
ion of James Sans, chairman of the
board of county commissioners. AL
though there will be a number of
cuts made in the proposed budget
there is a double election next year
and various increases in salaries of
employees that will send the budget
skyward.
All of the county officials have
asked for a 10 per cent increase for
their deputies. The primary and
general elections next year will use
up about $4,000 of the county's mon
ey and the county is also seriously
considering the employment of a pub
lie health nurse. The salary of this
nurse would be $1,000 a year and
$500 would lbe allowed for her ex-
penses.
No doubt the $4,000 which the
county has appropriated for the last
two years for sanitary Improvements
for the Camp Lewis encampment zone
will be eliminated next year. The
$4,000 appropriated for the construc-
tion of new county Jail has been
cared for and this will be another
item which can be cut from the
budget.
The tax levied last year by the COM
missioners was a fraction over six
mills. The limit is 10 mill tax.
