(AP) Counties which have already levied for pay ment to the state for care of non violent Insane for the year 1934. will carry that sum to the surplus fund Und credit against the following year's levy. It was the opinion of members of the state tax commission today. The section of the law requiring counties to pay the state for the care of non-violent was repealed when the legislature passed a 1933 bill over the veto of the governor and re lieving counties of this responsibility. The state, as a result will lose its greatest revenue for care of insane, as collections from relatives or es tates the past year fell far below that spent by the counties. No law 'was passed by the legisla ture this session to take care of this money If already levied. It will there for follow the usual procedure of going Into the surplus fund to offset budget Items under emergency for which no levy had been made or to be credited against the levy the fol lowing year. The new act becomes effective March 9.
