Lancaster county commissioners Tuesday fixed at $830400 their estimate of county expense to be raised by taxation in 1934, but in fixing this estimate, the largest in the county's history, the commissi oners acted with clear knowledfte that statutory levy limitations will make it impossible to Taise more than even with the inclusion of an anticipated $80,000 collection of fees by various offices. The commissioners determined to make their estimate sufficiently liberal to meet changing conditions whieh may arise between now and the time for making the levy in August When the levy is made, the county board is restricted from expenditures greater than those provided for in the January estimate, but they may cut below the estimate. Severe Parinjr Nerary, Severe paring will have to be done somewhere along the line when the levy is made to bring down the estimate of expenditures by fully $215,000 to reach the maximum amount that can be raised by taxation and fees.
