STATE OFFICIALS
DISAGREE OVER
1925 TAX LEVY
Old Question Of Paying Off
100000 Debt Arises
Again.
Again,

Disagreement between the State
tax board and Robert Bracken
State auditor. today marked the first
session of the board with the Gov
ernor in which It failed TO fix a State
tax levy for 1925.
The tax board insisted, according
to John J. Brown. chairman, that
the board has no right to nix levy
for anything except moneys speCitI-
cally appropriated by Legislature.
The State general fund is now 49,
TAO 900 in debt, Bracken pointed out,
because the tax board has in the
past year or two refused to approp-
riate even enough money to take
care Of the legislative appropria-
tions. He contended that it there
fore was the duty Of the board to
make a levy sufficient to pay the
debt. lnasmuch as deficiencies in the
levy in the past was the cause of
such general fund deficit.
The board took up its business
again at ? p. m. with little liken-
hood Of reaching an agreement on
the levy today.
one year ago Bracken told the
tax board that the levy was too low
and registered formal protest against
it. declaring that the State would be
So, $50 coo in debt at this time this
year. The board disregarded the pro
test. Bracken's figures fell short of
the actual Indebtedness by $4,000
