SPECIAL SCHOOL
 TAX LEV|ES LESS
 THAN LAST YEAR

In addition to a tax rate of S1.74A on each $100 in assessed valuation of the property of the county for county and state purposes each of the school districts in the county will pay also a certain tax levy based on the amount asked for school purposes by the board of trustees of the district. This tax will be levied on the as- sessed valuation of property in the district and must be added to the rate of s1.74A to obtain the total county. school and state taxation for the district.
 In nearly every district in the county the special school tax levy shows a decrease from that of last year. In many districts this is due to the decreased special levy for high school purposes. In making the levy for the county general fund the su- pervlsors placed a larger part of the high school expense in the general county levy, thus lowering the special high school tax. The total amount asked for school purposes this year by the boards of trustees through the county school superintendent is ap- proximately $400.000 less than ths amount asked for school purposes foi the proceeding year.
 The tax levies for the speciai drainage districts and the town taxes for the towns in the county ex- elusive of Phoenix have not beer made up by the supervisors as yet This year there will be no special levies for special road districts.
 The following rates on each $10o ir valuation were levied by the board as taxes for school districts.
 Phoenix High school district: Rates include 37 cents for high school for 1921 and 62 cents for 1920.

HEARING ON CAVE
 CREEKlEW MONDAY

The petition of the board of super visors of Maricopa county to the state tax commission asking that the Cave Creek control fund be declared an emergency measure will be heard by the commission at its office in the capitol building Monday after noon at o'clock. The hearing will be open to those interesteds in the measure.
 The Cave Creek fund. amounting to S100,o00, was voted by the super visors last spring and was included in the general tax levy for the com ing year, at a rate of seven and three fourths cents, but the tax com- mission refused to allow the levy, claiming it made the general levy of the county in excess of the 10 per cent increase over last year allowed by the law. The supervisors then re- moved the levy from the budget and have petitioned the commission to grant them permission to make the levy as an emergency measure

Grace had hardly rot settled back Into
regular habits when Z telegram came
asking their father to come South at
once. He had many times promised
them that next time" he would take
them along. and this sudden call
seemed to take him to the very part
Of Florida he most wanted them to
see. So at the dinner table in the eve
ming. he announced that they all three
would start for the Sunny South the
next evening.
OF course. there was excitement
enough after that. Reservations to get

interview (and sure enough, Toms
teacher did say she was glad to have
him miss school when he could see and
learn 50 much that was new and in.

children found themselves on . silvsry
beach, with dancing waves near at
hand. warm sunshine overhead and in
Iteresting sights on all sides, they felt
as though the city Of snow and ice and
SCOT and school they left behind was
very. very far away.
