MAYsRE:DUCE TAX
LEVY FOR next
YEAR IN COUNTY
If INCREASE MADE BY STATE
BOARD THE Rate is SURE TO
+ COME DOWN.
NO ROAD MAINTENANCE NOW
Levy for Keeping Up the State High
ways No Longer Necessary Due to
the Fact That the Law FIas Been
Repealed.
lFrom Monla1,s Dally HeraIl.l

(From Mondays Daily, Herald)
Should the state board OF equaliza-
ton act finally on the proposed in,
crease of the assessment in this coun-
Ity on Sept. &c. then it would be posi-
BILE to levy at taxes at the October
term of the county court. It is prob,
able that the present assessment will
either be approved on else an increase
| will be ordered SO that the court can
at its. meeting on the second Monday
81 October make the levy.
! Should the assessment ordered by
1.-THE board OF equalization in its notice
to County Judge Whitthorne, an adj
vance of twenty per cent, be made the
aggregate assesspent of the county
would be substantially the same that
It was last year This would mean
that the present rate of SIPS could be
renewed for this year and would bring
in the same revenue that it provided
last year.
However, there are sure to be some
changes in the tax levy. 1t is practi.
cally certain that there will have to be
slight increase in the school tax
/ levy to take care Of the budget that
4 will be necessary to maintain the
schools. But there viii be a savings
in the levy for state highway mainte
nance. For the past two years it has
been necessary under the law for the
county court to levy a tax for mainte
nance of state highways, but at the
last session OF the legislature this law
was repealed. Under the provision
of the levy there is now around $500
in the county treasury. This levy las
year was six cents, portion of whicl
can be transferred to the schools ant
portion to the county fund.
1t is not improbable that the bridg
levy win be reduced as the levy fnaI
ly made last year By the county cour
is regarded as being higher than
5 absolutely necessary. One Of tn
r members of the tax levy committo
/ has also expressed the opinion tina
, the levy for sinking .rund and interes
e on debt is higher than is absoluteI
! necessary. Therefore, based ON tn
assessment of last year, there is e.
3 pected, in the Judgment of some {
y the members Of the committee, to }

is laid on the fact that the Red
Cross intends to cooperate in the
campaign to the greatest possible
extent, and the Importance of hav-
ing an adequate Red Cross staff
in all War Risk Offices.
Notwithstanding the preparation
for the campaign, it is expected
that Red Cross Chapters will con-
tinue their work of cleaning up as
many as possible of their present
war time cases, before the arrival
of the heavy increase of work that
will follow the publicity attending
the Governments intensive effort.
Haakon county has been most
fortunate in having a very eff
cinet Home Service Secretary since
before the Armistice in the per-
son Of Mr.. J.. T. Forsell. He has
catalogued most of the cases Of
disabled soldiers in the county,
and has assisted all towards an ad-
justment Of their claims or to-
wards medical attention. So far
as the local situation is concerned
the difficulty has not been with
the Home Service department of
the Red Cross, but with the delays
and red tape Of the government.
The squad of three government
officials will visit Haakon county
soon, take an immediate look at
the local situation, and help to or
ganize any further procedure that
may be necessary to clean up and
adjust all soldiers claims for COM
pensation or medical attention in
