Set Ten Mills as New School Levy
The County Board of Education set the school levy for the coming year at ten mills, down one mill from last year. The levy has steadily fallen from a peak around 19.8 mills in 1924, with Milford's former high of 21 mills noted. The tax reduction over four years eased conditions for Beaver County sheepmen and followed the retirement of school bonds linked to a building program.
