The instructions were the re-I role suit of the conference held by the | tax commissioners with the auditors ' "n and tax assessors of the various SU,) counties, who were in session here discussing the various phases of the, tax situation in this State. j Adopting the recommendation of Governor Manning, made in thej ^ course of his speech before the tax officials, the commission also de- *S8U * cided to memorialize the legislature to fix a "flexible levy" in the next The appropriation bill. Should the as- al p sessment of 50 per centum raise T more money than appropriated for fore the needs of the State by the next and general assembly, then the otllcer de- hav slgnated by the legislature can re- day dure but not increase the levy, if the was "flexible levy" recommendation is \ adopted.
