City Clerk johnson has been busily
engaged of late compiling the tax roll
chat will soon be turned over to the
treasurer for collection. Property own
ers will scarcely relish the idea that their
taxes will be somewhat higher this sea-
son than last year. The total amount to
be raised is S19,047, as against S16,596 a
year ago. The rate that has been fig
ured out is fraction over Sl656 per
each $1,000 valuation. A year ago it was
Sl5.lO. The increase comes largely
through the city and state levy, as the
amount of school tax is $1,000 less than
was raised last year, while the county
tax is but little larger.
The books will be in the hands of the
treasurer holiday week.
