WILL FIX SCHOOL LEVY
AT MONDAY'S MEETING
Tho fixing of the school tax levy
for tho year will bo made by the
school board at a meeting to be held
next Monday. Last year, through an
agreement with tho city council, tho
levy was 8 mills, and as now proven,
was not tufflclont to run tho city
schools tho entlro year without fall
ing back on tho reserve.. This year,
It Is understood, tho lovy will bo t
mills, tho amount provided by tho
stato law, and sufficient to lusuro
funds for tho year.
Tho city council at its regular ses
sion this evening will likely tako up
tho matter of tho city lovy, and al
though no definite rato has been de
cided upon, it will likely bo some
what lower than last year.
Tho tax levies of sphool districts
and cities must bo In tho hands ot
tho assessor early in tho now year,
in order to mnko up tho tax for l'Jl'-'.
