With the advent in Milford last
week of the notices of the county
and school tax for 1924 a great pro-
test from the residents of that section
has been heard. This great clamor
has been caused by the heavy increase
in taxes Of the Special School District
of Milford, many not understanding
why the increase should be levied.
Due to the fact that measure failed
of enactment by the last Legislature
giving the Milford school board the
authority to borrow $4,000 for the
purpose of refunding that amount of
school debt which came due last sum-
mer, the Milford Board of Education
to prevent the district from default
ing in the payment of the bonds, de-
cided to raise this sum by a special
tax which is levied by the county in
the general county assessment. This
new tax is a 40 per cent increase over
the regular tax with an addition of 81
capitation tax. The regular county
tax rate this year is, county 75 per
cent and school 25 per cent; the
special tax making a school tax for
Milford Of 65 per cent.
