However, until the county budget appears, later this week, the amounts required for county governmental operation next year will not be known. This increase in valuations also will he made evident in the county welfare budget. The original rate fixed by the county welfare hoard as required to reduce the costs of welfare administration was based on the old valuation of $21,000,000 but the boa’vl may find it possible to recommend to the county council that the levy as first fixed by the welfare board should be reduced a couple of cents, or to 28 cents on the hundred dollars, possibly, instead of the 30 cents first deemed necessary by the board.
This welfare levy is distinct from the levy fo( the operation of county government. The increase in valuations in the county may mean a reduction in the county rate, also contrasted with that of this year, but
