State Tax Levy to Dip Slightly in Nebraska 1934
Nebraska state tax levy will fall to about 2.20 mills from 2.39 as the board of equalization readies county assessments for uniformity. Tax Commissioner Smith cites a 2,058,000,000 total assessment versus 2,073,000,000 last year, with reductions aided by the absence of 325,000 emergency appropriations and higher miscellaneous collections. The board may trim three county assessments and raise ten, possibly altering the overall levy, while beer taxes and insurance fees provide small gains amid lower intangible tax income. The expected annual collection drops from 4,950,000 to about 4,600,000.

Corn damage grim across Nebraska threatens cattle herds
A Nebraska expert warns that most of the state’s corn has been injured severely by drought and heat. Estimates place damage up to 66 to 75 percent, risking forage shortages and a drastic drop in cattle and other livestock unless timely rains arrive.
