City of Reno will be accepted until riday December 2 at 5 pm Two Motorists Make Mistakes County School Aid 27 Cent Problem On Agenda Two of Washoe finan cial problems will be considered by the Nevada State Tax Com mission when it meets next week and the decisions that are made may have an important bearing on the financial picture during the next few months The tax commission will be asked to alter its stand regard ing the financial sup port to schools and it will be asked to end the confusion of the much publicized cent prob The meeting will be held on Monday The county commissioners are asking the tax commission to re scind its order denying the coun ty the right to reduce the slice of its tax revenue that goes to the schools Refused Reduction When the tax commission set the tax rate at $200 per $100 of assessed valuation last summer it ruled that this rate could go to the county as long as it agreed not to cut the share of that money that was going to the schools About 75 cents was to be allotted for school pur poses However the $200 figure which was approved by the tax commission represented a sub stantial cut in the request made by the county commissioners and the county is facing one of the worst financial crises in its his tory Another factor is that the assessed valuation of taxable property in the county is great er than estimated previously The present assessed valuation is believed to be about $16 500000 instead of the $15100 000 previously announced The county commissioners are contending that they should not be required to pay 75 cents of their two dollars to the schools since a smaller share would pro vide the revenue that they prom ised to the schbol systems now that the assessed valuation has increased The touchy cent will be dumped in the lap of the tax commission also It involves personal property taxes collected since July 1 by the county as sessors Because the state prop erty tax rate was reduced with out any change in the local prop erty tax rates or in the overall rate collection about $17000 has been accumulated in Washoe County coffers which for the time being at least belongs to none of the governments The state reduced its share of the property tax rate July 1 from 69 cents to 42 cents The extra 27 cents could not then be forwarded to the state and there was no provision to funnel it into local treasuries Local officials are contending that it can be distributed to local governments and schools but state officials have said it should be credited to or re turned to taxpayers allon Sailors On Wild Crime Wave
