Last year the levy for the general
fund was Is mills and the total levy
was 20 mills. With the 2o-mill levy
last year the assessed valuation was
s542,055.0O, while for this year it is
but s51O,024OO. a reduction Of trifle
over $4,000. A levy Of Is mills on
this years valuation will rails e
s7,s5o.OO, or s2,O24oO less than was
spent last year, which the trustees
think they will be able to save the
taxpayers this year. They also plan
to reduce the total levy from 20 mills
to 1914 mills.
The levy this year is based on the
valuation of 1922, s51o.024.Oo, while
the levy for next year will be made
on the valuation made this year
which. at present, looks as though 1t
would be considerably lower.
