(SoO61O0o0 IT0U P080 ~
school purposes in District 6 was
81 % last year, and is expected to
drop to about As this year in view
of the AAC valuation increase.
Columbia Falls residents can ex-
pect total mill levy of about Us
and District about 3d..
The Columbia Falls city mill levy
increased from 1876 to 41.21, White
fish jumped II mills to AZ and Kalis-
pell went up 1874 to 41.6. Flathead
county's total levy dropped from
%. II to 1884 largely as a result OF
increased valuations resulting from
the AAC plant.
The state mill levy is up to Z
mills, and there's also livestock
levy which applies to livestock own
erS.
While local taxes will drop, the
whole picture is not green light.
Pending before the State Supreme
Court is a case on constitutionality
of law that grants new industry a
7 per cent instead Of 80 per cent
valuation. The AAC plant tax base
on the 80 per cent figure is 1882
40 and on a per cent basis, ST.
49,, 1873.
The law was instigated by the
Flathead to aid the Harvey Mach
inc Co., and the Victor Chemica
Co. claimed benefits. The Silver
Bow district court held the law un
constitutional, and AAC last veal
paid the difference between a 7 ant
80 per cent tax base under protes
with the result that $56, 819 was no
used. If AAC protests simila
portion of the 1855 payments !
will be over $500, 900 tied up, paid bu
not to be spent.
In that event District 6 will nee'
an emergency budget-applicable o.
the 1888 levy-to complete tn
next school year The 1855 lev
will still be low If the case is rule
unconstitutional by the Suprem
Court, there'll be some fat check
for District 6. If it is ruled cor
stitutional, the big plant even at
per cent valuation will broaden tn
tax base sufficiently to see a low
cred mill levy over the next year.
School costs meanwhile are going u
about 10 per cent for this next yea
