Hero Make Cuts

Townships of Redwood county set
a good example for the governor and
the legislature Tuesday when voters
slashed levies to save taxpayers
thousands of dollars. In several COM
munities no levies will be made next
year while necessities are purchased
from funds on hand.

We're quiet with taxpayers almost un-
-animously in favor of tax reduction.
Present officers were reelected in
most cases.

ings in the county:
