water-works this fund having suffl
cient balance to cam it for the en
suing year. This makes a total city
tax of 22 mills which is a re
duction of five mills from 1924 and
seven mills from the 1928 tax levy.
The general levy is subdivided s»
follows: Genera] Fund, 5 mills; Con
tingent Fund, 2% mills; Fire, 2 mills;
Street, Ife mills; ft)lice l mill.
The fact that the road fund and
the general fund are so deeply in the
red has hindered the care of the city
streets and has prevented the city
managment from taking advantage
of the conditions where the writ
might be Cheaply done.
I tie hoped that the present road
and street levies will cut the defi
cit considerably this year. The gen
eral fund is slowly recuperating and
the addition of a mill to (his fund
will hasten the convalescence.
The district school levy for district
No. 29 has been fixed by the county
commissioners at 16.60 mills.
he levies for the county and other
school districts are given at length
in Tuesday's Tribune. We are copy
ing the article.
Cascade county's tax levy for 1920
wiB remain unchanged at 12 mills on
property outside Great Falls and
other incorporated cities, and within
incorporated municipalities will be in
creased 3.60 mills over 1924. The
new levy was spread by the board
of county commissioners Monday, the
amount being 12 mills tor both coun
ty and city property, while last year
it was 12 mills outeide the cities and
8.60 within the cities.
The difference between the total
levy on rural and city property lam
year was accounted for by the road
levy This is paid, when assessed
by the county, only outside incor
porated cities, and this year no road
levy is fixed owing- to highway funds
on hand and other* coming in from
other sources. This reduced the levy
outside the cities to 8.50 mills, the
same as last year within the cities,
but a corresponding increase wa*
made through additions to other
funds that apply equally to both rural
and city property making the total Ji,
mills for all property.
The various items within - the 1925
levy as compared with 1924 are as

The levy listed under the head of
general was last year divided into two
funds. These were the general and
the contingent, the genera! levy being
one mill and the contingent 1.76. The
2.26 mill levy this year also embraces
a .60 mill levy for the North Central
Montana Corn A Livestock show.
The 12 mill levy with cash on hand
will meet budget appropriations of
12.00
8795,776. The levy itself is figured
to raise mow than 8360,000. The
county's cash balance at the end of
