Tax Levy Hils
New Low Point
Albany IJnn county's consoli
dated Ui levy lor this year la with
in $134,443 S7 of the lowest level
' reached In 23 years and Is back on a
par with the levy of 1918, the year
In which taxes started skyrocketing,
figures released yesterday by Coun
ts Assessor W. C. Templeton re
vealed. The figures showed that the two
decade low level was reached In
J917, when a levy of 11.3 mills rais
ed a consolidated tax of $338,753.81.
'. levies of those days, too, were
based upon higher assessed valua
tions than are those of today, the
assessor's figures revealed.
The county consolidated levy does
not represent the entire tax levied
In the county, for It does not Include
the special levies of school districts,
town and the non-high achool dis-
"trict It does Include, however, all
joad, county general, state, bridges
and ferries and state elementary
and common school levies.
Taxation In Linn county has been
steadily downward sine 1929 when
"the last of the county Indebted'
ness was wiped out, with the excep.
tlon of a small amount that was re.
tired the following year.
County officials pointed, out yes
terday that while some temporary
reductions may be expected during
the next few years the lowest prac
tical point in taxation for county
' general purposes la now closely ap
proached, and no further reduction
of consequence can be . expected
.without curtailment of county gov
ernmental functions. .. .... . ...
