[year before last. On the same
amount of property in value there
we're paid last year s2S,064'30, an
actual saving on this class Of
property, on the same value, of
,2,s54,14.
But here is what they don't like.
We brought in for taxation $751;
465 more Of that class of property,
and collected a tax on it of s4.519.-
So. But take off the s2,954.14
savings from this s4,519.53 brought
IN, and the taxes on this class of
property have only been increased
ts1,5e5.39. Yet what a howl is
made over it.
MONEYs, BANKS BILLS AND cIRcuLA-
TING NOTES.
On moneys, including bank
bills and circulating notes. s1O,-1
7O1.S2 taxes were paid year before
last on s2,O33441. Last year on
the same amount were paid 49,
6S2.60, less tax than that paid
the year before by s1O,922. Last
yearsthere were returned s246,232
more than the year before, which

the difference between the amount
saved and the amount brought
in.

22,715.31 was paid last year, less
taxion the same amount by 2,S91.-
O9. But here is where the fight
comes. We brought in 2,279,919
worth for taxation that had not
been paying taxes before. On this
We collected a tax of 10,S26.62,
which increased the income from
this source over that of last year

ALL OTHER PERSONAL PROPERTY.
Every man who ever made
return knows what is Included in
Fall other property" You know
that it includes household 1
Kitchen furniture, etc. On y.
class of property tax Of S6,152.69
was paid year before last on 1885,
226. Last year tax of 32,7O9.57

before by 3,443.12. But 923, ,01S
were added for taxation which had
been paying no taxas, and on this
a tax of 4,3s4.33 was collected. If
we take from the 4,3S4.33 increase
taxes the 3,443.12 saved, as above
shown, we find that the taxes all
told were increased on this class
ofproperty by 941.22.
REAL ESTATE.
Some of you may think there
has been no real estate added for
taxation. Let me disabuse your
minds of that, for there were added
SIC, O,4O6 acres outside of cities and
towns, and some in cities and
towns, with many buildings, max
ing a total increase in Valuation
of 1,625,56.
To hear some people talk, one
| would think that real estate had
received no attention. The fact is,
that the assessments made had to
stand because of the law making
