Statewide tax levy set at 7.3 mills for 1924
The state board of equalization fixed the 1924 tax levy at 7.3 mills, down from 7.4 in 1923. It allocates 2.4 mills to the general fund, 4.7 to state district schools, and 0.2 to state high schools. A tenth-mill cut in district school taxes was balanced by a higher total valuation boosting revenue to about 26 dollars per pupil. Adjustments to property assessments were issued, notably for range and other sheep and cattle. County figures show Beaver and Duchesne changes, Uintah increases, and other adjustments across counties.
