If Maine newspapers should herald

Dollar Weekly. Any courtesies extended

New York South: For the year end
ing June 3Oth, 1893, the number of acres
of Government lands entered in Florida
was 1855, 1863, double that OF any other
Southern State. Nearly all the entries
were made, as shown by the receipts, by
actual homesteadcrs, who expect to live
upon the lands entered. This will add
greatly to Florida's material advance

Senator Pasco has taken a new tack
on the Florida war claim matter. He has

Of Florida in regard to money advanced
in the Indian wars, to deduct from the
amount found due, whatever is due from
the State on State bonds held for the In
dian Trust Fund, and any other claims
against the State, and pay the balance,

The assessed valuation Of PROPERTY

The assessed valuation Of property
in Florida, for purposes Of taxation, is
S87,552, AT, or less than one-third Of the
real cash value of such property. Sup
pose the valuation was raised to the
actual cash value" Of all taxable prop
erty, as prescribed by the revenue act,
our assessed valuation would be, in round
numbers. 100000, 900 and tax rate OF
only about one mill aud quarter would
yield revenue sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of the State, and such a showing
$3OO,0O0,000 assessed valuation and low
rate of taxation-would put the matter in
proper shape before the world, and would
prove beneficial as an advertisement for
Florida.
