PULLMAN OWNERS PAY
OVER 50 MILLS TAX
combined State, County, City, School
and Road District Tax to Estab-
Iish New Record

Pullman property owners will pay
for 1920 taxes over 60 mills On as
sessed valuation, according to a COM
pilation of city, state, county, school
and road district levies as far as they
have been established. The aggre-
gate tax, it is believed, will establish
a new high water mark in Whitman
county. The several items in the
aggregate millage assessment, with
the road district tax still in doubt,
are as follows:

, Probable total
City Levy

The city tax levy, with the posi-
bility that the increased assessed
valuation of the city may reduce this
a fraction, will be two and one-half
mills in excess OF the municipal levy
for the present year. This increase
is due, largely, to the fact that pro-
vision has been made for a city en-
gineer next year, at an estimated sal
airy of 1880, while none was en-
ployed this year. The council also
increases its estimate over last year
for improvement of the city parks,
$1,000 to be raised for this purpose.
The total amount to be raised by
taxation for municipal purposes
reaches $23,S45, with an assessed
valuation of trifle over million
dollars. The budget as prepared by
city officials was adopted by the
council at its last meeting, no OBJ
jections being raised by taxpayers.
School District Levy
The budget for school district No.
SO, as approved by the school board,
calls for a tax levy of at least II
mills The estimated disbursements
for the year 1920 are placed at
$35,927. OF this amount $3.50
will come from the state, $S777 from
the county, 81 400 under the new
high school law, and $500 from mis-
cellaneous sources, leaving $15,5OO
u be raised by taxation in the school
district. This sum will require
12-mill levy, while two mill special
sible.
The superintendent's salary last
year was $1,000, while $4,000 is al
lowed in the budget for 1890.
The sum of $10,650 will be required
for salaries of high school teachers
and $13,S50 for grade teachers, as
against $9761.13 and $13,0O9.97, re-
spectigely, last year. The estimated
cost of janitor service for this year
is $4,000, while last year it was
5000, while the items for fuel,
lights and water drop from $1943,7O
last year to $500 this year. Last
year the clerk drew 1910, while $3.50
IS set aside for that purpose TINS
year. The manual training depart
ment will require only $500 for sup
plies this year, while $741.3S was
expended last year. The domestic
science department expense Is estl-
mated for this year at $500, Whlls
the actual expenditures last year
were $1SS.96, and supplies for pupils
and teachers this year are set at
$500 last years expenditures for
these items being $673.S6.
Last years expenses for buildings
and repairs were s2031.63, with but
$500 set aside for that purpose this
Year, and last year furniture and Tx
lures cost $44S.30, with but S4Oo
available this year. The sum oil
sl1255 was expended for library
purposes last year, with $3.50 avail
able this year, while the paving as
sessments last year amounted 10
sS164O, with $500 set aside for that
purpose this year.
The school board exercised econ
omy in the preparation of the budget
IN every way possible, the natural
and deserved salary increases for IN
struetors being counterbalanced' so
TAR as possible, in reductions in other
items of expenditure.
