Levy Reduced in Baker County.
Baker City — Baker’s tax levy this
year will be 30 mills, less than half
that in Baker City last year, while in
the country districts the levy this year
will be about one-third of that of last
year. The -county court has based an
estimate, and although the levy has
not been determined, it may be stated
that the amount as computed upon the
valuations for this year will be only
about one-half of that last year. In
