V
Supervisor Tomlinah^n High Taxes.
Mineola, Nll^^uly 8, 1914.
Mr. Taxpayer Considerable dis
cussion has be£n aroused both through
the press and by certain speeches at
the recent convevntion of the Progres
sive party in Holt county, Nebraska, '
touching the matter of the increase of
taxation in Holt county and the rea
sons thereof, and believing that you '
will be interested in arriving at the
facts in connection with the matter I
am prompted to make this statement.
As a member of the County Board '
for three years I have had much to do j
with the finances of the county and am
somewjiat familiar with the record* of
the county and have' made some in- ^
vestigation of the increase in taxe.-.
It has been charged that the Board of '
Supervisors of Holt county are re
sponsible for the increase. Let us see ‘
what the facts are. There are four
bodies authorized to levy taxes. They *
are, the State Board, the County 1
Board, the Township Electors, the
School District Electors and the
Electors in Cities and Villages. The
following shows the amounts levied by
the State, County, Precinct and School
Districts in the years 1900 and 1913:
State, 1913.$37,351.01
State, 1900. 16,399.50 j
Increase.$20,952.1!. I
County, 1913.$67,990.54
County, 1900. 35,780.95 (
Increase.$32,209.59 '
Precinct 1913.$38,242.16
Precinct, 1900. 8,177.92
Increase.$30,064.24 '
School Districts, 1913.$117,470.70 j
School Districts, 1900. 46,282.80
Increase.$ 71,187.90
The total tax levied in 1900 was
$127,693.04 and in 1913 $284,278.23
the balance of the increase was made
up in Cities and Villages. You will
note from these figures that the in
crease in the school tax alone is
greater than the entire tax levied by
the county board in 1913. It has been
stated that the county board should be
able to manage the affairs of the
county with the same revenue that it
received in 1900; if that is so why
should not the various townships and
school districts and the state get along
with the same money they did then.
There are several funds now for which
the county board may make a levy
which did not exist in 1900. It has
been charged that, in order to spend
the county money they have been
building bridges on sand knolls. If
there is any community in the county
that has too many bridges and will
make the fact known to the board I
am sure they will be glad to remove
them. Before you make a kick about
your taxes being higher take your tax
receipt for 1900 and one for 1913 and
compare them and see if you are not
responsible for some of the increase
yourself.
Under the new bridge law the
bridges will cost more than they did
under the old law as the board will
have to get their plans from the state
engineer and steel and cement bridges
contain at least one half more ma
terial. This is not written with the
object of starting an argument with
any one but simply to point out some
facts to you that may have been over
looked. *
Yours truly,
H. W. TOMLISON,
Supervisor 2nd District, Holt county,
Nebraska.

Motion.
Mr. imairman: wnereas, on tne
4th day of April, 1914, this board pas
sed a motion ordering the Western
Bridge and Construction Company,
under an annual contract, to construct
a cement bridge across a cut-off of the
Elkhorn river at the intersection of
sections 1 and 2 and 11 and 12 in
township 30, range 16, west, in this
county.
And, Whereas, Said Western Bridge
and Construction Company has not as
yet taken any steps toward the build
ing of said cement bridge said bridge
or any part thereof has not been con
structed.
And, Whereas, A resolution has
been introduceed to release said Wes
tern Bridge and Construction Company
from said order to build a cement
bridge at said point, and to authorize
said company to substitute a new steel
bridge for said proposed cement
bridge.
And, Whereas, The old bridge at
said point has recently been repaired
and restrengthened by bracing tl*e pil
ing, installing new stringers and caps,
and said bridge having an oak floor in
good condition; and said old bridge be
ing now perfectly safe for public
travel, and will apparently stand for
several years,
And, Whereas, On account of the
recent floods which have washed out
about twenty Seventy-Thousand Dol
lars worth of bridges in this county,
and on account of the general con
dition of the bridge fund of the
county which makes it impossible for
lack of funds to build and replace de
stroyed bridges at points where
bridges have been washed out and
there is a pressing necessity to replace
such bridges.
And, Whereas, The aforesaid
bridge in Stuart township does not
now need to be built, and public
policy does not require it,
And, Whereeas, no emergency ex
1 ists to take down said bridge and re
place it with a new one.
Mr. Chairman: I move that the
