up in EXCELLENT manner for manufac

tory, of which the Times Recorder

Now that the state tax rate has been
fixed, and is reduced somewhat from
the rate paid last year, the taxpayers
of Americas and Sumter will hope for
like consideration in the county rate.
which will be fixed soon by the county
commissioners.
1t is quite certain that the county
rate this year will be less than it was
last year.
The commissioners will meet at an
early date to fix the rate, and they
may be depended upon to put it at the
lowest notch commensurate with the
county's needs.
Last years rate in Sumter was about
one per cent, or possibly q fraction
less. At that time, even, the county
commissioners would have reduced
the rate but for the fact that $4,000 of
the county's funds were then in the
defunct Peoples Bank here.
Since that time, however, this mon
ey has been repaid and is again in the
county treasury.
The state tax rate this year will be
five mills, or SIS on 81, 900 of property
returned.
This is 80 cents per 81, 200 less than
the tax rate last year,
It is less by 81 cents on 1000 than
the maximum rate fixed by the legis-
lature in the general purposes and 81
mills for sinking fund.
With this reduction in the state rate
1t is quite probable that the county
commissioners, in view of the very ex-
cellent financial condition of the coun-
ty, will be equally as liberal, if not
more in fixing the rate of taxation for
the current year.
The taxpayers will, at least, hope
earnestly to this desired end.
