THE 1317 STATE LEY
1,500,000 TO PROVIDE FOR THE
NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
Many Items of Interest Gathered from
Reliable Sources at the
State House.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Nebraska's Btato tax rate for tho
year 1917 was fixed by tho state board
of assessment at 8.48 mills, after for
mally approving all valuations as re
ported by county assessors and over
ruling the protest from Douglas county
asking to have merchandise and other
items reduced.
Tho total levy is an increase of 2.38
mills over 191C, but of this amount
only .4 of a mill has been added by
tho state board, tho remaining 1.08
milts of increase being due to special
levies which tho legislature provided
for by statute. Tho general fund levy
was raised from 3.4 to 3,8 mills, is
order to toko caro of the heavy appro
priations which the legislature made
to como out of it.
The total state tax levy of 8.48 mills,
as fixed by tho board, is estimated to
produce in tho neighborhood of $4,
500,000 of revenue. Based on a total
valuation of $G2!,130,000, it would yield
$4,487,009 it all the taxes were col
lected. As a small percentage lot
taxes each year is not collected and
becomos delinquent, there will be a
slight reduction on that account. On
tho other hand, delinquent taxes and
Interest, paid in for former years, will
como in. It has also boon found from
past experience thnt the actunl taxes
paid in by most counties exceed ad
vance estimates, ns more property is
added to the tax lists after tho returns
are made to the state board.

on Governor Neville to file a protest
against the plans ot Stato Engineer
Johnson and the county board of Rich
ardson county for laying tho state aid
road In that county. Governor Novillo
was in Omaha and tho visitors did not

ent plan of officials is to lay the road
from Falls City to Stella. The pro
posed road runs two miles east of
Verdon and residents ot that town
want it to be recognized by tho high
way. Tho Washington highway and
Kansas City & Omaha road run
through Verdon and residents of that
town believe tho Btato road should
adopt the same route. Engineer John

bolievos tho proposed road for the
stato highwty is hotter and that it
would cost several thousand dollars
moro to build up tho road through
Verdou. Tho road two miles oast has
practically no culverts or bridges. If

stato engineer Bald ho would consent.
