SPECIAL BALLOT
ON LEVY CALLED
Excise Board Calls Special Election
to Vote on Four Mill Levy in
Addition to Six Mills Law
Provides.

Call for special election to be
held here August 15 to authorize an
additional four mills tax levy in the
city of Chickasha was issued yester.
day afternoon by the county excise
board in session In the county court
house.
If the additional levy is ratified
by the voters on August Is, the ad
valorem levy in the city for the fiscal
year of 1929 will be 10 mills. All
mills in excess of six mills tax levy
in the city must be authorized in the
special election.
On request of the city administra-
tion, the excise board yesterday after
noon sliced $4,000 from the city's
budget for the year. Three thousand
dollars was the amount taken from
the police departments estimate
$4,000 from the water department; ;
$4,000 from the general government
fund; $4,000 from the street and
bridge fund; $4,000 from the park
board fund; $1,000 from the library
board fund; $500 from the cemetery
board and $500 from the street light
ing account.
These reductions, according to ].
r. Wellborn, city clerk, will not SER
iously cripple any of the depart
ments However, Chief Ben Phillips
was forced to decrease the city police
force because. of the reduction in the
police departments allowance for the
year. Two policemen, William Hale
and Jim Dillon, were laid off this
morning, leaving six men, Chief
Phillips, Bill Elston, assistant chief;
Carl Davis, Lem Burch. John Filppo,
Bill Thomas, and C. C. Moody on
the force.
Before the estimates were de-
creased to come within the 10 mill
levy limit, the total amount called
for in the budget was $159,740 After
the reductions, the total amount is
136,790. Last year, $4,000 was re-
quired to operate the city govern
ment This amount was raised with
a six mill levy but, under present
conditions, 10 mill levy will be
necessary to raise the $136,790 This
condition, it is pointed out, is
brought about by the decrease in the
assessed valuation of the city.
