| of 80 miles of proposed road including
! side tracks, ETC., in the county, and an
average in the county of $l,89 to the
| $4,000, will raise the duplicate to it's
present standard and the Railroad tax,
| and increase it one million and an aver
age in the county of $l,65 will do the
same, and increase it two million and an
average Of 81 ,25 in the county will do the
same.
In the first increase of the duplicate of
$500, 900 valuation of proposed road, the
State, county and township taxes would
average to raise duplicate to its present
standard, $1,70 to the $4,000 Railroad
tax would be 19cts. to the $4,000.
In the second increase of the duplicate
to a million, the average would be 81 ,483
to the $4,000, and Railroad tax would be
l6Scts to the $4,000, and in the third
increase of 100000; the average would
would be l4c. to the $4,000.
At the present average of 81 ,8l3 the
new Company would pay taxes to jack
son county on 100000 valuation with
Railtoad tax of 204 cts to the hundred
added $4,000 annually, and in twenty
years $l20 100, and present Railroad Co.
would pay in addition to which it now
pays annually for new Railroad tax $685.,
90 and in twenty years $l3,653, leaving
the people of the county to pay only
$51 ,247 in the entire twenty years if no
other wealth was brought into the coun-
ty at all except the value of the new
road, which would be but Sc cts. the
$1,000, each year, and have it left upon
the duplicate for all times as revenue
to the county.
Increase the duplicate, the 100000,
and at the average of 81 ,S9 the new Co.
would pay S., go annually, and in TWEEN
ty years $1l3,40 and the present road
would pay annually of the Railroad tax
in addition to which it now pays $500, II
and in twenty years $l2,603. Leaving
the county $4,000 to pay in twenty
years, or 70 cents on the $1,000, for each
year, and reducing the rate at the same
time in the county for State, county
and township purposes from 81 ,Sl3 to
81, 70 on the 500, and if the duplicate
was increased million in five years by
the building of the road the county
would collect by taxes alone from the
new capital brought into the county at
the end of the twenty years, $7S,5 800 over
and above paying the one hundred
thousand of bonds and interest and if
it brought in only three hundred thous-
and within five years additional wealth
to its own valuation would collect in
taxes from the same at the end of the
twenty years, over twenty-six thousand
more than the bonds and interest.
To enable each taxpayer to calculate
what part of the 100000 he would have
to pay, supposing the duplicate would
remain as it now is $4,563,000, we have
made the calculation and find if man
is taxed on 81 900, he will pay each year
one dollar and nine cents.
