FUND LEVIES
HAVE LIMITATION,
ATTORNEY DECLARES
Opinion Says Four.MilI Restric.
ton Applies For All Pur-
poses But Debt

There Is no limitation on tax leviea
for sinking funds to pay North Da-
kota real estate series bonds, accord
ing to an opinion by Rheinhart J.
Kamplin, assistant attorney general.
Replying to an inquiry from the
Bank Of North Dakota, Kamplin
called attention to Section l82 Of the
state constitution, which he said
clearly sets no limit on levies for the
bonds. The four-mill limitation, he
ruled, applies to all purposes except
interest on the state debt.
I'm arriving at this conclusion =
Kamplin said, II wish to state that
this question has been given great
deal Of thought and study. Opinions
of the intelligent and able counsel
writing on the same question have
been carefully considered. All Of the
North Dakota cases relating to the
subject In the slightest degree have
teen studied and analysed.
II find however, that the North Da-
kota supreme court has not passed de
rectly on this question. In the alb
sence Of definite judicial interpreta-
ton, the constitution itself Is the best
authority in deciding problem Of
such great importance"
He termed the language Of the con-
stitution regarding the levy for real
estate bonds as clear, explicit and
definite"
In my opinion" he added, "the
limitation prescribed by Section 174
Of the constitution Is not applicable
to the sinking fund levies, nor Is there
any other limitation" Section 17z
provides for q four-mill limitation for
defraying expenses Of the state"
