The counties are allowed a. maximum of} ten mills as are also the school dis tricts. The state’s limit is five mil-ls, a total for the four taxing units of 40 mills—plus bond re tirements. Port districts and public utility districts are also additional taxing units, each llmited in mieir niillage. _ l The assessed valuation of the City 101 Kennewick for taxing purposes has been set at $1,114,443, showing a return of $1,114.44 for each mill levied. This is the highest amount per mill since 1931, when the assess ed valuation of property within the city limits was $1,143,000. The low est valuation came in 1935 when the figure was $883,000. , This year’s budget contemplates} the largest expenditures ever made, for in addition to the increased val-{ nations, the city has a large cash balance on hand and the anticipated revenues are larger than ever be fore. The increased expenditures, in addition to buying a new‘ car for the police department and a true; for the street department, includes increases in pay for the police and street department officials and in creases in capital outlay in nearly all city departments. . The extra five mill levy is for the bond interest and retirement. The city is fortunate in this respect, as there are but four issues now out standing, the city’s indebtedness having been steadily reduced for the past ten or a dozen years. Remaining to be paid is a build ing bond issue of $4500. a $7,000 is sue for emergency relief, $4,000 for the remodeling of the fire station! and the Washington street ”exten sion issue of $4,500, or $20,000 in all.l This in. a relatively small indebted- ness for a city the size of Kenne wick and shows a heal-thy condition in fvhe finanacial situation. Fina] budget figures were adopted this evening at an addourned meet ing of the ooundl from last night, several changes having been made necessary because of an em:- of $50,000 having been discovered in the city's valuation figures. 1 Ruby Safford Wed to Former Finley Man The wedding of Miss Ruby Saf ford to James E.
