Guests of program chairman Searl S. Davis, the trio of com missioners, with Wr. F. Nolte of Plattsmouth as spokesman, briefly explained some of the problems which have confronted the ccuntv board in seeking to comply with the new assessment statute. Nolte said that one of the biggest state-wide problems in the tax field is that of equaliza tion between counties as well as within a county. Recent an nouncement by the state tax commissioner indicates that the state may bring counties into line, Nolte explained. In the county. Nolte said that if at all possible, the commis sioners intend to maintain a five mill levy. Althoueh Attorney General Clarence Beck recently ruled that under the 50 percent assessment law, counties may levy up to 10 mills, Cass county hopes to hold the line at 5 mills.
