MAKE TAX LEV|Es !:

COMMISSIONERS REPORTING
TY FINANCES IN GOOD ~
CONDITION

The County Commissioners have.
been in session for several days this
week making up the estimates and
fixing the tax levies for next year.
Chairman Anderson and Commits
sioner Barkey visited The Herald
office Tuesday, evening and were
pleased to- state chat the levies had
been completed ind the commission
ers were able II make substantial
reduction in TIE levfes for the COM
ing year. This is good news to the
taxpayers Of Phillips county. for the
taxes have become burdenStfe past
few years. in spite Of the fac: that
Phillips; connty's levi6s have beon
considerable less thans the levies Of
the surrounding counties. Not only
has eth6s 6sAeyy been cut, but the val
uation OF the county was reduced
something over s2OGOo0.0O, which
makes a double reduction for the tax
payers. The levy last year was for
11.005 mills.
The total valuation of the county
was fixed at s17,2S6, ,495.O0 and tho
total levy for county purposes for
next year is 1919 mills on each dol
lar This will bring the sum OF
$113,3S6.26 for the expense of the
county and state government. Aside
from this sum there is the usual ap-
preparation of approximately $4,000
| for the county high school, which is
raised by a special high school levy
OF 2.S mills.
Phillips county also can boast OF
being in better financial condition
than almost any county. as all bills
for the past two years have been
paid out of funds on hand. aud has
not been compelled to register and
warrants. This would indicate that
the business OF the county Was Ia
