County Seeks To Hold Levy at 39
County commissioners discuss keeping the 39 mill county levy for 1950 pending further study of the school levy. They consider a tentative county tax levy of .02 mill under the 38 mills levied in 1940, with a remote possibility it may drop to 38.5 before state approval. The plan aims to protect district schools while limiting taxpayer burden amid rising valuations.
