LEVIES A LOW TAX RATE

The City Council at its Tuesday ses-
sion fixed the tax levy for city pur-
poses for the ensuing year at AZ mills.
This rate will enable a general rate of
OBS to be established when all other
levies are added. The school levy for
the year is .011179, county and state
rate not being received till November.
This is reduction of nearly one
third in the taxes to be collected this
winter, and while possibly it is not
quite sufficient for cuty purposes, the
Council plans to make every effort to
hold expenses to minimum and plans
no large improvement for next year.
