TAX LEVY HIGHER,
BUT CITY'S TOTAL
IS $4,000 SMALLER
Increase in Rate Does Not Mean
Larger Cash Pay
mentS.

Although the tax levy on city proper
ty has been increased to "a mills this
year. two mills higher than the levy
set by the city council last year, Great
Falls citizens will actually be paying
5000 less in property taxes this year
than last. according 70 figures compiled
by City Treasurer w. T. Wren.
The revenue in city taxes in 1921 al
% mills was $4,000 and the revenue
for this year at "A mills will be S3O7,-
600. according to the figures Of the city
treasurer. The true value of city
property for 1921 was estimated to be
so. 500. 563 and the assessed valuation
S14.165,917 The true valuation this
year was fixed by the county assessor
at $40. 716.S31 and the assessed valua-
ton S12, SO0.692.
The assessed valuation of city lots
has been decreased approximately IL
per cent for a total of 81 100000 under
last year. the assessed valuation OF
merchandise in the city lowered S1,20O.-
900, and improvement and other types
of property lowered S2.15O.OOO. This
divides the effect of the increase of the
tax levy so that in some cases persons
pay a little less for taxes this year
than last and in other cases Il little
more than last year.
The increase of two mills in the levy
hoes not balance the revenue lost by
the decrease in the assessed valuation
of the city, Mr.. Wren pointed out.

The Lewistown Lumber & Lath
company of Neihart will close a con-
tract with the United States govern
mcnt forestry department today on
lfO acres of timber on which it has
built a mill capable of manufacturing
$4,000 laths daily, according to W. Z.
Gilbert of the Lewistown company.
This deal has been pending for some
time. awaiting finished appraisements
by forestry officials Of the Great Falls
office and the acceptance and pricing
of the timber by the officials of the
government forestry department. The
mill will start operations in full swing
the first of next week, according to
Mr.. Gilbert.
Plan to Buy 1900 Acres
He intimated that his company would
soon be able to buy 1.4OW acres of tim
her which the government will sell.
The land and mill are located 212 miles
this side of Kings hill and about 6h
miles from the railroad shipping point
a: Neihart.
The 1.4OO acres are sufficient to
support a day and night shift for five
full years, every day in the week. The
payroll Of the Lewistown company will
run about $4,000 a month. with about
45 men working in the mill and in the
forest.
As the result of negotiations since
last November with the interstate com-
merce commission. the Lewistown com
pany has succeeded in securing the
group freight rates which amount to
591a cents a hundred to Omaha, Neb.
Some Lath Sold
A three or four months supply Of
lath has been sold to a wholesale firm
in Omaha. This amounts to 10 cars,
or 7.5OO,OOO lath. The finished product
is being sold at Montana Lodgepole

has actually won fame in lumber mar
kets throughout the middle west.
The Lewistown company has just
finished cutting and manufacturing 30
cars of lath from 160 acres closer to
Neihart. 1t was almost necessary for
the Lewistown company 10 work on
the more sparsely timbcred land near
Neihart that they might bug TIA" tract
they have been negotiating for.
Put $4,000 Into Road
The mill is situated about IL miles
from the state highway. The company
has built a road through this timber
at a cost of $1,000 and will haul the
finished product to Neihart over this.
No trucks will be used because Of the
large amount of time they would be
idle.
Work will be carried on during the
winter unless extreme cold weather
freezes O'Brien creek, on which the
mill is situated, entirely. In this case
it will be necessary to shut down. The
water from O'Brien creek will be used
for steam in the new large $4,000 lath
kiln which is being built.
The Lewistown company buys all its
commissary and hardware supplies by
wholesale lots in Great Falls, accord
ing to Mr.. Gilbert. 1t has been found
cheaper to buy them here than to
contract in the east.
The Lewistown company is financed
by Omaha men. When it was origin
ated, five men of Lewistown financed
the firm and a mill was started at
Lewistown with the idea of shipping
logs from the Neihart district to Lew
istown. However, the high local freight
rates soon destroyed all possible prof
its. and the mill was moved TO Neihart
and the Lewistown men sold ont their
interests.
Mr.. Gilbert has mills on the Pacific
coast, He says the Montana lath" is a
better quality than white pine or other
lumber lath product.
