The commissioners, however, are hopeful that it may be found possible make the levy slightly less than this figure. The present levy of four and onehalf mills has been in force for four years, despite the fact that during that period many other municipal bodies found it necessary to increase taxes. The present levy is distributed as follows: General purposes, 3.66 mills; bridge building, .02 mills; sinking .82 mills.

Several factors are contributing to the necessity of finding additional revenue. The taking over of the West Mountain Tuberculosis hospital and converting it into 8 a county institution, together with the building of an addition, will of necessity make it incumbent upon the commissioners to secure additional funds. Increases in county's share of the Mothers' Assistance fund, Increase in the interest to be paid on bonds, road repairs and improvements are among the other items figuring in the increase.
