LEVY WILL BE
LOWERED s2.4o TO rs.
This Condition In Mcdowell Next
Year-Reassessins Re-
suits.

CHARLESTON, Aug. THE tax
commissioner is busy inspecting the
land books that have been arriving
at his office for the past few weeks
from the assessors of the various coun.
ties throughout the State. The larg-
est increase in valuation over the fig
ures of last year is shown on the
books of Mcdowell county, where the
valuation increased eleven and me-
third times the valuation of 1904:
Mr.. Dillon estimates that with this
valuation on the land books, there will
be a wonderful reduction in the levy
when the county court meets for that
purpose next year. The valuation
this year was nearly "a, 0OO,0 900 against
the valuation of 1904, which was only
100000 on the same property.
The present tax rate in Mcdowell
is $2.40 on the hundred dollars valua-
ton. To raise the same amount of
money and ever a little more, the levy
will necessarily be reduced next year
to 25 cents or less on the $500 valua-
ton. The increase in this county was
more than LOO per cent. and the tax
rate of levy will decrease accordingly
with the increase Of valuation.
