REDUCTION IN TAX LEVY

FOR ADAMS COUNTY

The grand total of taxes to be raised

by Adams County next year promises to

be less than for several years.

The amount to be raised for the state

is $253,000, as compared with the 1923

levy of $285,165. This reduction is made

because no levy at all is required by the

state general fund.

Gov. Hart's administration claims

that this is made possible by the new

administrative code.

Whatever the cause, it is certain that

the public will be pleased.
