There will be no Increase In the tax : levy for the city of Anderson for the year 1910. this matter being decided ln-y. night Wien city council unani mously voted to let the levy remain the same as lt has been for this year, 23 mills. Owing to the fact that so much ex tra money has been spent in the bast few months doing the street work preparatory to the .paving, many peo ple were of tho opinion that the levy would have to be Increased.
