CHANGE OF TAX LEVY To take care of the deficit caused a tax levy one and two-tenths mills lower than it should have been the year 1919, and of the in creased cost of maintenance, it is recommended that Section 9212 of Remington's C “ and Statutes of Washington be pended by raising um tax levy for general omen and thus allow the board of equalization to make @ levy to raise the funds to take care of all of these defictencies.
