County Assessment WILDE Com
pleted Tomorrow.
Total Raises About si5O,OOO--City
Supervisors Are Not Yet
Through.
TAX RATE OF THE CITY FIRST.

The total raise in the county as
sessment this year will be about
$4,000, an increase in the amount
of county and state taxes to be col
lected of only $3.50. Last year the
raise was about double, of 100000.
The supervisors will probably finish
up their work tomorrow. and thoic
books will then be turned ovet to the
county assessor, who with deputies
will foot up the results ard balance
them. The county clerk then takes
the books, makes recapitulation.
makes copies of them, and forwards
a certificate of the total assessment
and valuation of McCracken county
to the state auditor. On this certif-
ed valuation the sheriff must settle
at the end of the year.
After the county clerk has certified
TO the correct assessment, he gives
the sheriff certified copies OF The
books, and the sheriff copies item
and makes his collections. II will
be several weeks yet, in all probabili-
ty, until the recapitulation Of the
county is complete and ready to for
ward to the state auditor. u will
then be some time later before me
annual collection of taxes begins
The city supervisors have not COM
pleted their work yet and may not
for several days. The city assess
ment will be something over nine
millions this year. The city tax rate
cannot be fixed until the supervisors
finish their work, as the tax rate is
based on the total appropriations and
the total valuation of city property.
The total raises on city property
will probably be little more than those
in the county assessment. 1t is es-
timated that there will not be a raise
of much more than 100000. If that
much. That would bring in only
about $500 more taxes than last
year with a s1.S5-cent tax rate, or
with the present tax rate, 81 So
something over $4,000 more than
last year.
The tax rate in the county is FIX
ed by fiscal court in April. II has
been S1.S2 on the 800. for the I'ast
two years.
