Sherman county voters by* a
vote of 186 to 181 turned down
the proposal of the county court
for a five mill special levy for
four years.

There is no certain way to
divide the town from the coun­
try vote but it is apparent that
the farmers did not favor the
levy.
No campaign was made either
for or against the levy although
meml>ers of the court did some
work for it. It would have giv­
en the incorporated towns some
money for streets.
