Burnett explained that when the amount of the levy necessary to raise the money approved in a special levy vote in the North Mason District in 1974, the estimated assessed valuation which was used was about $2 million too high and, that as a result, when the levy was extended onto the tax statements there was about $13,000 less than the approved amount collected. Part of the North Mason District is in Kitsap County, which as a result of information provided by the Mason County Assessor's Office, had the lower collections also. Burnett told the commission he would work out some way so the money could be collected for the school district. He said a supplemental tax statement might be the answer. nderfu1 = SHOES FOR 'OMEN A bit of sass, lots of class.., the season-less sandal to do the pretty-foot look with the new skirt lengths.
