County Board Lowers 1932 Tax Levy But State Cut Drove Change
Bannock county commissioners announced a 1932 levy of 22.3 mills down from 22.5, yet examination shows the reduction stems from a state levy cut rather than a county saving. County figures show 1931 total levy at 1.60, rising to 1.63 in 1932, with school levy increasing from 5.25 to 5.65 mills to offset statutory needs.
