New State Tax Levy is Smaller Than Forecast Unofficially Placed at 2.37 Mills; Due to Large Increase in In tangible Revenue. Lincoln, July 29. Though the state tax levy for 1929 will exceed last year's it will not equal the early estimate of 2 mills, it was indicated Monday at the office of Harry Scott, tax commissioner. A tremendous increase in revenue under the new intangible tax law, coupled with a gain in total valu ation of tangible properties, will re duce the estimated levy to probably 2.37. figures foreshadowed. Prior to a final meeting of the board of equalization Aug. 2, it may call Assessor Sam Greenleaf of Oma ha to explain why increases in Douglas county on intangible hold ings are relatively less than the rest of the state, it was suggested. Law Held Valid. The law was held unconstitution al in district court in Omaha. The case will be taken to the supreme court. During the current week the state board of equalization will meet to fix the amount of the levy as pro vided or by the legislature ol 1927. In 1928 the state levy was 26 mills, which included .22 mill for the cap itol and 1.84 for the general fund. The increase this year is necessitated to provide for enlarged appropria tions made by the legislature. Rail Valuation Up. Property of all classes. Commis sioner Scott reports, has ben raised exceedingly compared with 1928, with the most marked showing on in tangibles which are apraised this year at approximately 1300,000,000. whereas the former figure was $172, 500.000. Tangible property is raised $35,700,000 while the railroads are boosted approximately $1,562,185 un der their last valuations. The aggre gate assessment of all tangibles, in cluding the carriers, is $3,163,154, 664. Class A intangibles, under the new law, hopped from $65,500,000 a year ago to $157,000,000 this year and in class B the gain is from $107, 000.000 to $143,000,000. With the state receiving one sixth of all revene from intangible taxes, the share this year is esti mated at $256,000, whereas in 192S it received but $116,45S, an increase of nearly 120 per cent.
