Burleigh Tax Put at 20.23 Mills Cites ‘Unwritten Law i“ Slight Increases From Last Year Due to Bond Issue Pay- ments, Poor Levy Burleigh county property will be taxed 20.23 mills pn the dollar in 1935, according to the state and county levies announced Thursday by Ernest Elness, Burleigh county treasurer. This is a 1.11-mill increase over last year’s levy of 19.12 mills, but less than the 1933 levy of 21.01. The state levy this year is 4.69 mills and the county levy is 15.54 mills. Increases occur in both the state and county tax assessments, a survey of the new levy reveals. Chiefly responsible for the increase in the county rate are the special poor fund levy, ‘which was raised from 1,36 mills irf 1934 to 1.70 mills “in 1935, and the interest and sinking fund levy, boosted from 2.33 mills in 1934 to 2.76 this year. The poor fund rate was raised in order to provide county funds for relief-work in the event the federal emergency program is terminated. Approval of additional funds for re- lief work was made in the annuai budget prepared by the board of county commissioners. Other Levies Unchanged All other county levies remained the same as last year. The general government and salary levies were combined under the one general classification, Amounts of the levies are: general, 8 mills; road, 1.87; bridge, .63; interest- and sinking, 2.76; tuition, .5; special poor fund, 1.7, and grasshopper, .08. A new legislative levy for real estate bond interest and af increase in the levy for milling bonds account for the slight increase in the state assess- ment. The state levy is 4.69 mills this year as compared to 4.35 in 1934. .. Items of the state levy are divided into three general classifications, gen- eral fund, state bond interest and ” sinking, and legislative levies. The general fund levy is 2.88. Bond in- terest and sinking fund levies are: milling bond, .21; mill and elevator bond, .4, and real estate bond inter- est, .4. Legislative levies include: state capitol fund, .2; old age pension fund, .1, and real estate bond inter- est, 5. . Wing Levy Highest Levies by townships are virtually the same as in 1934, Elness pointed out. The combined total of school and township rates are highest in the Village of Wing, 70.28, and lowest in Logan, 22.51. Valuation of all Burleigh county property for taxation purposes has been set at $11,756,752, of which $5,270,695 is in the city of Bismarck, Taxes are due December 31 and first installments, one-half of the general taxes plus the full amount of the special assessments, are delin- quent March 1. Second installments are delinquent after Oct. 15. A penalty of 3 per cent is attached to the first installments after the deadline and an additional penalty of 2 per cent is attached to the sec- ond installment’ if payments are de- linquent. ~ ze “Built to Take It Says Frank Buck, Famous Explorer “Trekking” {through the jungles hes taught me that there is no substitute for ruggedness and dependability in « motor car.

A judicial council with power to Tule on the constitutionality of church conference actions is an important part of the plan. The council's func- tions would be somewhat similar to the supreme court. The council idea is incorporated in a “plan of union” to consolidate the three main denominational groups of Methodists in this country under a new name—the Methodist church. The plan recently was ratified at Cincinnati by representatives of the Methodist Episcopal church, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and the Methodist Protestant church. Before the plan can go into effect it must be approved by the general conferences of the three denomina- tions. Two of these meet next May and the Southern church two years jlater. Then the local churches must ratify through annual conferences. Church leaders are certain of ultimate approval. The plan calls for unity among more than 8,000,000 communicants throughout the world, a Sunday school enrollment of nearly 6,000,000, and a Methodist “constituency” of over 30,000,000. It embraces one-half the communicant Methodists of the world, Reach New Peak in Phone Development Increased business has caused the Northwestern Bell Telephone com- pany to install an additional section on its switchboard so that 200 addi- tional numbers may be called from the local exchange, F. H. Waldo, dis- trict manager for the Bell company, said here Thursday. : Waldo said that both the number of telephones and the number of calls have increased sharply during the last few years but that the latter is disproportionately large, indicating that Bismarck is making greater use of the telephone now than ever be- fore. A few years ago, he said, the aver- age number of calls each day was 17,000, now it is from 20,000 to 30,000. In 1927 Bismarck had 2,774 tele- phones. Not it has 3,510. The previ- ous peak development was 3,101 in October, 1931, thus the present peak is 409 above the highest previous figure. Estimating 25 telephones to each 100 persons, Waldo said the popula- tion of Bismarck is about 14,000. The per capita development here, he said, compares favorably with the stdndard in other cities of this size.
