LEVY ý BY R. H. Kerer Is Ap ointe lr Pro Tem at Tuesday Session of Village 'Board The Village board met in regular. session at the Village hall Tuesday evening, the passing of the tax levy ordinance being the nxost 'important order of business. At the opening of the 'meeting President C. P. Dubbs announced that the Village clerk, Nicholas P. M iller, is too iii to attend to bis duties, being now absent, from the village in. search of bealth in north- ern 'Michigan. He therefore sug- gested that E. H-.

A ut ho rities Say' Taxing' bodies of New Trier town- sbip are giving expression to renewed confidence in, the. future because. of the 'decided improvemnent in tax collections which bave: been in, evi- dence recently. Not only is this im- provement noticeable' in relation to tbe. back, taxes now1 under collection, but as pertaining to'ail taxes up to tbe last half of 1932. From a source that bas always proved reliable, it is learned. that many property owners of the. town-, ship'who have withheldl payment for one reason or another, mostly bie- cause of dissatisfacti.on with the as- sessmients, areflot only making pay- rmnts on tbeir old bills, but are. seek- ing information as4,o the total due on, their properties uP tô and i nclud- ing 1932. This is unquestionably due to the 15 per cent reduction and the iower ,.aluations -now in effect. But what- ever the cause may be, the effect upon the. taxing bodies is. beneficial, for it sbows, that the "jam" wbich has beld back revenues bas at last been broken, and gives hope that f unds will now flow into the local treasuries.in an uninterrupted stream. Relief of tbe financial strain wbich, has been -so long felt by the school boards aMt other governmental units will have 'its effect upon the entire will be at- hand. Something like normialcy will soon be attained if ail property owners will1 fail in line .and pay their taxes up to the hast instalmtent of 11932..
