us than such testimonies Of remembrance aud

together
Depend upon it, however ignorant and pre-

Who cannot believe in the ultimate SUCCESS o1

County Levy, 1882.

IN compliance with the provision Of Section
L Q VI Article 20 Of the Code If ublic
General Laws Of Maryland the following
statement Of the levy for 1852, to meet the
current expenses of the County for that year,
10 herewith submitted and published by the
direction of the County Commissioners OF
Allegany County:
The whole levy amounts to the aggregate
sum Of $S6.764.96, for the payment Of which
forty cents in each hundred dollars. upon the
assessed property in said County. were levied,
which assessment amounts to So, 93S TAO fer
the present year, exceeding that of the last
year $378,776. The assessment stands at =
higher 6gure now thar at any prsvirrs time
since the general assessment If 1852. THIS
large increase 10 the result Of much pains and
labor on the part Of the Commissioners, in
putting upon the County books property aud
persons heretofore unassessed. 1t is proper
to state that $6S 900 of the above was re-
turned by the late Collector. 1t will he seen
that State and County tax of $2,429 will
be thus secured not before realized.
The per centage for 1862 exceeds that of
the previous year six cents in the hundred
dollars for the County tax. This increase is
owing to the insufficient Ievies Of 1861. and
particularly those for the roads, which in
connection with several freshets within the
last nine months have rendered extraordinary
levies for that purpose absolutely necessary
The amount appropriated at the late session
for the roads amounts to $7,430; for 1851 il
was only $2,s47; 81 500 were levied for the
use of the City of Cumberland in accordance
with q long established nsage, but this levy
was withheld from the city for the last year
or two. Had the latter levy heen refused
and tina. for the roads been kept at the
amount Of last year. the per centage for the
County tax would have been less than "a
cents IN the hundred d"llars--xhich WAS the
levy for the year 1861.
The present levy for the State tax is twen-
ty-fve cents in the hundred dollars. IL was
pnt at that rate by the act of 1862. chapter
1876.
