This variance In the levies of the sev eral counties Is responsible for the pe culiar situation that with a decided re ductlon In state levy some of the coun ties are called upon to pay more money to me state than last year. ine state levy, while always announced aa being mills and fractions of mills, is never extended on the tax rolls In such rates. It Is simply the basis used by the State Brfard for determining what amounts of cash each county must pay to the state. Each county is notified of the amounts and must extend a tax on Its own rolls sufficient to make the sums called for. Thus Chehalis County, with an assessment or only hajf of what the .Board believes should be a fair average assessment, must levy about a 10-mlll tax on Its rolls to provide the amount the state calls for. although the average state aggregate levy win be only 6.43 mills.
