VIII Soon Start
Shipping Lambs

Spring lamb shipments from the
Arizona ranges this year will begin
probably Is days earlier than usual,
according to HI. B. Embach, sec
retary of the Arizona Wool Grow
er's association, who said that early
lambs will start moving about April
1. The usual time for first ship
ments is near April Is, but range con-
ditions have been so nearly perfect
this year that the lambs are develop
ing and getting fat earlier than IN
previous years, Embach said.
Practically all stock is out on the
open range now, very little being left
in pasture.
mo feed in the world can compare
with the desert feed, Indian wheat
and filaree, for fattening purposes, !"
Embach declared. "The heavy rains
last month gave the desert more foil
age than it has had for a number of
years. Everything is green and
conditions on the range are nearly
perfect. Arizona sheep men are
saved the added expense of pasturage
by letting their stock run on the range
at this time of the year
From all indications, as shown by
the condition of lambs in Arizona,
there will be a plentiful supply for
the eastern market. Prices have
been low for the past two months
but might be expected to pick up be-
fore April I Enlbach believes.
Wool growers do not yet know
where their stock will be shipped,
although usually the bulk of it goes
to Kansas City, with one or two train
loads to California. The east
ordinarily depends upon Arizona for
the range fed supply of eastern lambs,
and the stock this year will be in
excellent condition and ready for an
earlier market.

CountyTax

A cut N about 8 cents in the pro-
posed Marion County tax rate for
1928 loomed today, following a
meeting of the county council, at
which the proposed budget was re-
viewed. Councilmen will meet again
Wednesday to make various changes
"a. appropriations and set the rate.
A Accent rate, an increase of IL
cents over this year, is sought.
Council members, although not
setting out what appropriations
would be sliced, declared the budget
will be brought down to about 1914
cents.
The council threw out all moves
contemplating payment OF the
horizontal tax refund, on the
ground that a ruling from Federal
Court, in which a suit has been filed
seeking to have the rebate stopped,
should be given before money is ap-
propriated for the repayment. This
action cut an additional 13 cents
from the budget.
Payment May Be Delayed
There is a possibility that this
payment will not come about for
two years." Council President
George Montgomery stated. by
this time, the Legislature will be
asked to amend the law, so that
bond issues can be raised to pay
the refund, If it is ordered"
The council took a direct stand
against commissioners in connection
with increasing the free gravel road
fund levy from three to five cents.
The council will endeavor to keep
the rate at three cents, members
said.
This fund is for maintenance and
improvement Of gravel roads. Now
the fund is deeply in debt.
The council will support an in
crease of one-half cent in the ad-
and upkeep rate of
Sunnyside tuberculosis Sanitarium.
The proposal is for only two cents.
According to county officials, the
institution probably will run into
debt within nine months, unless
more money Is obtained.
Buildings to Be Opened
Three new buildings, accommo-
dating 100 additional patients will
be opened Sept. 18.
With the city and county councils
not considering the refund, the
school city attorneys holding that
this governmental branch does not
have to pay it and the decrease in
the city budget and those predicted
in the county and school budgets
the Center township levy is expected
to be about $2.75. 1t now is $2.62.
The school city is seeking S1.45,
but the tax experts contend there is
no chance for this.
william H. Book of the Chamber
of Commerce civic affairs commit
tee will work Wednesday with
School Business Director Ure M.
Frazer, in an effort to clear up the
budget muddle there. 1t was
learned that the school board in
tends to bring it down to about $1.05.
Book promises cooperation of the
Chamber to any moves the council
desires to make, in reviewing the
proposals. City, county and school
officials will meet Wednesday night
to discuss the horizontal tax refund
situation.
When appropriations for County
Surveyor Harry Campbell's office
were considered, Councilman Paul
s. Dunn stated that "since the
county markings have been removed
from Campbell's car, he takes it
home and his son seems to enjoy
using it."
