The county commissioners were in
session at Inverness last week, and
uppermost for consideration was the
question of building a court house and
fail There is sentiment in favor
Of bonding the county, and raising
$4,000 or $4,000 for that purpose. while
others think it best to raise the necessary
amount by direct taxation. The law pro-
vides limit OF 8 mills. The commits
sioners have decided upon the latter method
and will levy an assessment of mills which
will give about 81 900. The rate of taxa
tion this year will be lower than ever be-
fore so the additional mills for court house
and jail will not increase the burden Of the
taxpayers much over what it has been pre-
viously. Much Of the time Of the commits
sioners was taken up in equaiizlng the taxes.
The assessments on phosphate lands have
been raised from $40 TO $50 per acre.
