4 the coming year. The amount levied
was S2S, OO0,O as follows:

This was apportioned among the
several towns as follows:

other towns together.
To arrive at these figures the board
took the assessed valuation of each
town as fixed by the board of review of
the town. A year ago Eagle Rivers
share of the county tax was about AZ
per cent, while this year we have over
81 per cent, or an increase of about 10
per cent,
This apportionment applies to the
state tax as we'll as the county tax and
Eagle River will have to pay over 81
per cent of the state tax, Minocqua a
little over "a per cent and Arbor vi
tae little over 70 per cent.
The state tax proper amounts to
S27O4, 73 which is divided among the
various towns as follows:
Eagle River S1422. SO
Minocuua 654.54
/ Arbor Vitae 627.5O
| Besides this Eagle River has to pay
the state $3246.34 borrowed money
now due on the school house. Minoc-
qua has to pay the state $4,000 for the
same reason. This makes the entire
state trx of these two towns:
Eagle River 1869. O3
,Minocqua 1590.O4
| Besides the above there is q special
levy made by the county of $4,000 for
county superintendent's salary, of

tae 23.2 per cent, and $4,000 for
school purposes, of which
Eagle River pays $4,000
