board3 will be set up next week to
review the claims of 150,000 veter
ans for pension payments on ailments

ice. President Roosevelt, announcing
his approval of regulations creating
the boards, sanctioned an order au

American war veterans 50 or older,
who are 50 percent disabled and in
need. He will define need later.
Between seventy and ninety re
viewing boards will be established
immediately. They will be an
nounced as quickly as possible. The
first are to be made public Monday.
The boards will determine by Oct. 21
whether the veterans should con
tinue to receive benefits on the pre
sumption that their disabilities re
sulted from service or if they should
be removed from the rolls.
Until the board decides his case,
each veteran will draw 75 percent
of the amount received prior to July
1, when the economy law became ef
fective, or until Oct. 31. The presi
dent has the authority to extend
these payments after Oct. 31, if nec

Asserts Nothing
in Tax Limit to
Cause Fear
Deputy Attorney General Ayres Says
Cities Not lomited to live
Mills in Making Levy.
Lincoln. Assistant Attorney Gen
eral George W. Ayres Wednesday
said no Nebraska towns which have
been following the law regarding
mill levies in recent years have any
thing to fear this year as no change
was made by the last legislature.
Douglas county authorities re
cently announced alarm, asserting
the maximum levy for towns was cut
by the last legislature from 25 to 5
mills and that Ralston and other
towns could not operate on that
basis.
Confusion Due to Change.
Ayres said the confusion was due
to the change more than a decade
ago from the system of assessing
property on the basis of one-fifth of
its value to full market value.
When the assessments were on the
one-fifth value basis, he said, the
maximum levy for general fund pur
poses for towns wa? 25 mills, but
when the valuation was changed to
full value, the 1921 legislature pass
ed a law barring any levies In ex
cess of 20 per cent of those then in
effect.
Old Statute Amended.
Ayres said the effect of that law
was to keep the ratio of levy nad
valuation the same and limited towns
since 1921 to a 5-mill levy for gen
eral purposes. He said towns always
have been privileged to levy what
ever additional is necessary to cover
the bonded debt.
The last legislature passed a law
to permit towns and villages to make
a 3-mill levy to reimburse persons
from whom taxes had been collected
under illegal special assessments. The
law amended the old section of the
statute which referred to a 2 5-mill
levy limit for general purposes. To
conform to the actual existing limit,
the legislature changed the 25 to 5. J
Ayres said if this had not been done,
the effect of passing the law amend
ing that old section actually would
have been , to increase the maximum
from 5 mills in effect since 1921 to
25 mills.
OMAHA VALUATION LOWER
Omaha." State Treasurer Hall and
Secretary of State Swanson an
nounced here Wednesday night the
state board of equalization had. de
cided on a 15 percent reduction in
valuation for property within the
Omaha city limits and a 20 percent
reduction for property in Douglas
county outside the city limits.
The state board early this week
heard the protests of Omahans who
contended the assessments of Doug
las County Assessor Greenleaf were
too high. The protesting groups
charged that Greenleaf had reduced
assessments only an average of 11
percent.
Swanson and Hall said the Btate
board had decided on the reductions
for Douglas county so as to bring
Douglas county appraisals in line
with those of surrounding counties.
They were in Omaha attending the
democratic county meeting.
