Foreign delegates may leturn home to

learned In official uliaiiers today.
Temporary adjournment would -not
mean breaking up of the conference it

I'mnlil'a county's share of the stale
jtax on the l!20 levy Is $433,085, wc

I commissioner. This is more than
! double the amount paid last year,
'.when the tax was placed at " $19(1,-
717.30.
j The big Increase In the state tax
'is due in chief to the several educa
tional relief measure's voted by the
people at the -primary election in
May. The Increase In state taxes,
however, does not mean that the tax
In the county paid by the various
districts will be proportionately as
great. . .
In Pendkljon the tax levy will be
4 2.(1 mills, according to figures given
out today by assessor tV P.- Strain.
