The petition, signed by fifty Elizabeth voters, asks that a special levy of two mills be authorized in th.fi townshi.) tnxes for librarty purposes.

The cost in taxes would be relatively small, it has been pointed out by those who are sponsoring the plan. Many Income Tax Returns Deputy Collector of Tnternal Revenue Carl B.
