The concluding session of the county
board on Saturday settled the tax
levy for the year. The estimate ar
rived at Friday by the finance COM
mittee, was $S05,553.14, with an in
come of S131, 930.55, which will make
necessary the raising of $673, 62259 by
taxation.
Although this is a slight increase
over last year, something like $1,000,
members of the board feel satisfied
with the result inasmuch as a large
item has had to me placed in the
tax roll TO care for delinquent taxes
which was not entered last year
There is also the item of $4,000 for
court house improvements. Under
the circumstances, the average esti-
mate for the various departments OF

At the Friday morning session of
the board, the resignation of Miss
Mary A. Brady, for several years coun-
ty home demonstration agent, was ac-
cepted to take effect on January list.

continued, and although she stated
no definite reason for resigning, it is
understood that she is to enjoy an ex-
tended rest and then, later, to study
along the line of home economics.

port to the board which included the
interesting announcement that she had
