Glacier Bear Abuses
Hospitality; Steals
Mattress, } Blankets

This particular bear abused hos
pitality even for Glacier national
park.
Recent visitor at the north fork
home of Jean Sullivan, the park S
general road foreman-the Sui
livans were away--was a big black
bear. Bruin apparently slept In
the Sullivans' bed; opened many
of the drawers; raided the pantry
and on leaving carried outside a
mattress and two blankets, and
hung the curtains in a tree.
Park bears are known to he
in butter, bacon, candy
and most of the food also liked
by man, but the idea of bear
sleeping in a mans bed and then
trying to steal the mattress and
two blankets that's news, and
that's not done in the
west Sullivan Well, his opinion
of one particular bear is definite.

Taxes Follow Butter
Eggs and Autos

Personal property and real es-
tate taxes in Flathead county will
generally increase from 10 to &c
per cent this year.
In Columbia Falls the increase IS
about IS per cent, and from Co.
lumbia Heights to Bolton and Es-
sex it will average 20 per cent.

1926. District 6 levies (outside
of Columbia Falls) increased from
1855 to 126.29. 1t was 1879 in

Since Montana has no sales tax,
just a small income tax and re-
ceives little take from slot mach
ines. personal property and real
estate taxes support local govern
ment.
Schools accounted for most of
the present tax increase with a
total of 1896 going to school pur-
poses. Flathead county increased
it's levy from 1865 to 36.7 mills
including mills for roads not paid

33.5 to 36.5. Town general ex-
penses were reduced 2 mills, but
the new water obligations require
5.
Since the tax value of the coun-
tv increased from 81, SIT, 999 to |
12,831.3 39 Approximately, a mill
now raises over S12,831. The Co
umbia Falls tax base increased
rom 1927, $3.50 to S341,619.
1947 and 1948 comparisons IN
county budgets are as follows:
General (office expenses, salaries
etc.) increased from 1873 to 16
Mills; roads from 7.87 to 8; bridge
rom 1.53 to 3; poor from 4.87 to

pecial for this year; 1889 all
Ugh schools; 10 for statewide ed
cation (more comes back in dol
ars than we pay here) and bonds

evy increased from 1872 to 39.1
nd the high school special is 1O.5 {
