County Collector George E. Pierson
has been notified by State Comptroller
Morgan that the State school tax to be
levied for the year 1903 in Gloucester
County will amount to $40, 619.85. Out
of the State Appropriation the County Will
receive as its share $14, 216.04, which will
leave $26, 402 SO to be raised by taxation,
which is $42l IS more than was raised last
year. The rate, however, for State school
tax, it is believed, will not be any higher
than last year, as the increase in valua-
tions will in all probability offset the few
hundred dollars increase in the total;ta
for State school purposes.
