The increased levies are made necessary for the following reasons :
Weld County has absorbed the rising costs of relief by reductions in the County fund levies
of 1937 and 1938 . The available cash surplus will be exhausted at the close of 1939 and an
increase in the County levy is necessary to provide for the necessary functions of County gov-
ernment and the 1940 elections .
It has been necessary to supplement Aid to Dependent Children , Aid to Blind and T. B. Aid funds
during 1939 and additional demands on these funds will be made during 1940 .
Additional relief funds are required due to the 20% reduction in Special State Relief monies
available to the counties .
The Board of County Commissioners request that the Colorado Tax Commission authorize
the levies as applied for
