Order by County Excise
Board for Special Election
The County Excise Board of
Lincoln county, Oklahoma, hav-
ing ascertained that the assessed
valuation of S. D. No. 103, is
.$858,247.00; that the approved
estimate for current expenses for
general purposes is the sum of
$6770, that a levy of 7 2-10 mills
for general purposes is necessary
to raise said approved estimate:
and it appearing that said levy
is 2 2-10 mills in excess of the
five mills that the excise board is
allowed by law to make; and the
excise board being of the opinion
that said estimate is reasonably
necessary for the current ex-
penses of said School District.
It is therefore ordered that an
election be held by the voters of
said School District No. 103, on
the 12th day of August, 1913, for
