Thank yen. County Auditor, James J. Curiett, has recently informed the school boards o f Miami Township and Cedar- villa Township school districts that the state equalization school levy car­ ried in these district* a t the Novem­ ber election, will not be extended on ' the tax -duplicate for the -December collection o f taxes. The entire amount < o f this levy w ill be extended on the tax duplicate fo r the June collection. . Immediately after it Was .learned that the school levy in these two dis­ tricts had been approved, the County Auditor made an application to the * Tax Commission o f Ohio fo r the rate to be used in extending these levies upon the tax duplicate. The legisla- * tore provided that it was the duty o f -the- Tax"Comm!ssioirofDhiOTtedeter-— ■ mine this rate, which will be. based on the average levy voted for the current expenses o f schools outside o f the fifteen mill limitation b y .a ll school *. districts throughout the State o f Ohio, which do not participate in thft equal­ ization fund. The Tax Commission' informed the County Auditor that • they were proceeding to determine this rate but that it woyld take some time as all rates from the eighty-eight counties o f Ohio had not been submit­ ted to the Tax Commission-at that time. In the meantime, however,-.they requested an opinion from the Attor- riey .General o f Ohio as to whether or not this levy could he applied on the . December collection o f .taxes. The Attorney General ruled that fa as much as one o f the Sections o f the General Code, that govern- participa­ tion in the stated equalization school ' fund, provides that the County Audi* tor shall extend the levy on the'tax; . list after the next succeeding Feb- ruray settlement, it could not-legally be extended on the December collect tion o f taxes. * As over two hundred tschool fifa; - triets throughout the state o f .Ohio were affected adversely ,by this de-*' cision, pressure was brought, to bear upon .the State Department o f Educa­ tion to attempt to secure a more • favorable interpretation o f the low. Suit* were' tiu ^ tjto# '| g r boards to hold tfa a! had received the final opinion from the Attorney General, -The director 'o f education Professor B. O. Skinner, re-t quested an opinion from the Attorney General as-to whether or not 'the state equalization school levy could be ex- ' tended oivthe December collection o f taxes, as he stated that the first opin­ ion given had not been called to his official attention. After several weeks time the Attorney General submitted the identical opinion to the State De­ partment o f Education part o f which is quoted herewith: “ The levy so au­ thorized, however, must be made in accordance with Section 5625-18b, General Code, which provides in dear . and unequivocal language that such levy shall be extended on the tax list for collection 'after the next February settlement.’ Qlearly, therefore, the levy so authorized can not he collect­ ed until the next tax collection period after the February settlement fa 1932.’,~ In the meantime the County Audi­ tor did not extend any taxes on the duplicate in Miami and Cedarville Townships hoping that a more favor­ able opinion could be obtained or that the courts might be called upon to in­ terpret these laws. Since a favorable interpretation o f theJaw has not been obtained the County Auditor is pro­ ceeding to extend the taxes in Miami and Cedarville Townships without the three mill school levy outside o f the fifteen mill limitation fa Miami Town­ ship and the two mill levy in CfalJr- ville Township and without the state equalization levy. This has been nec­ essary as the school levies for current expenses outside Of the fifteen mill limitation expired with the 1989 col­ lection o f taxes and the State Tax Commission has refuted to certify the rate for state equalization levy. These being the facta in the case no school levy outside o f the fifteen mill limita­ tion fo r current operating--expen*es will be included in the tax rates for the jDecember collection o f taxes in these* districts. However, the entire equalization school levy o f between two and three mills will he included in the June collection o f taxes. —The-rate- for CedarviUC-iTaw»*hip. in the December collection will he $15.00 and in the June collection it will be between $17,00 and $18.00. Likewise, the rate fa Cedarville Vil­ lage in December will be $18.09 and in June between $20.00 and $21.00. The rate in Miami Towmship fo r December will be $17.40 and in June between $19.40 an d$80.40.- Yellow Sprinfg# Village will have a tax rats fa December o f $21-20 and fa Jans a rate between $28,20 and $24,20. „ FOR SALE: A Monitor Hard Deal Bass Burner in jpmd^oondfakm.
