TAXATION.
The whole amount of taxes, in
cluding delinquencies, collectable
under State laws during the year,
1869, was ,OO6,3 ,332 A. The
Auditor of State reports the total
amount of taxes, including delin-
quencies, collectable during the
current year, at S22,S1O,675 81, an
increase of the taxes Of 1870 over
1869 of S1,SO4,353 40.
In 1869 there was collected fol-
the sinking fund, to be applied to
the payment of the principal and
interest of the State debt, the sum
of 81, ,37O,1O1 II. In the present
year there will be collected for the
same purpose the sum of SSOS,S2e
81, or $561,275 81 less than was
collected last year.
A large portion of the taxes col
lected from the people are for coun
ty, city, and other local purposes
and do not pass through the State
Treasury, but are disbursed within
the counties where they are collect
ed. During the current year thu
taxes, exclusive of lelinquencies, te
be collected for all States purpose:
except for the common school fund
amount to 50, ,542 ,O25 81 while S18,
1877 400 80 are to be collected for 10
cal purposes.
The foregoing statements, from
the report of the Auditor of State
show that the taxation Of this yea
for State purposes other than fo
payments on the principal and in
terest of the State debt, exceeds th'
taxation Of last year for the SAM
purposes by the sum of 5000, ,601 SO
and that taxation for local purpose
this year exceeds that of last yea
for the same purposes by the sun
81, ,695,725 3S. The local taxe
this year are about A per cent
greater than they we're last year.
The increase of taxation for Stat
, purposes is in part due to the amour
collected for the Asylum Building
fund, which exceeds the amount re
quired last year for building pur
poses by almost 100000. Making
due allowance for this importan
fact remains that both State and 10
cal taxes have LARGELY incyoased-
