Cleveland Tax Rate Lowest In State (Continued From Page One) tion of $18,234 88 for the extended term, these schools this year could not have operated on an eight months’ term. I understand it is the purpose of the authorities to apply the extra money this year to the discharge of the debts of the district and still operate the schools on an efficient basis for eight months. The people of the county have every reason to feel proud of the way our county affairs are con ducted and I say in all frankness that I think our board of countv commissioners and its efficient chairman, Mr. Cline, are unsur surpassed in the entire state. I am very proud that we are to have a tax reduction this year and that we are getting it without crippling the efficiency of the government. But I feel that T should say to you that In order for Cleveland and all other counties of the state to en joy tax reducing It has been neces sary to drain the state revenue to the very bottom and the state is confronted, by reason of its con tribution to the counties, with a de ficit of nearly $2,000,000 and this is the problem with which I am face to fare With our present system of revenue it v ill be impassible for the counties at any time soon to receive any Hiore from the state Ilian it is new receiving and we must practice economy and effi ciency in every department o! county and state government and see to it that every tax dollar is wisely expended and perform its lull duty."
