To The Herald:
1t appearing to me that the follow.
ing statement, relating to the taxes OF
Cameron County. would be of interest
to the citizens of the county, l have
prepared the following statement for
their information.
The State Tax Board having fixed
the rate of tax for state ad valorem
and school purposes and the County
Commissioners court having fixed
the rate for the county taxes, for the
year 1908, the following shows the
several rates of taxation, the assessed
valuations for the years 1907 and
1908, and the increase in assessed
valuation and amount of taxes. The
State school tax on each $4,000 of
sessed valuation is SO cents; total
state school and county rate rs and
assessed valuation is 6A cents; the
county tax on each $4,000 of as
sessed valuation is IS cents; total
state school and couny rate is IS
HIP cents; the assessed valuation
for the year 1908 is SS,1S0,S96.0O;
the assessed valuation for 1907 was
S5,94f,1S3.00; total increase in val
uation over year 1907 $2,233,713.00.
OF the above increase in assessed val
uation something over $1,000, 100000,
was made by the st. Louis, Browns
vile and Mexico Railway Co.
The total school and county rate
of taxes for the year 1907, was 97k
cents on each 500 of assessed
valuation, and the same for 1908 is
rs HIP cents on each 500. thus
showing a reduction for 1908 of 81
TIP cents.
The total amount of taxes
assessed for state and
county for 1908 is the
sum OF S6Z, 1858
The total amount of taxes
assessed for state, school
and county for the year
1907 was. ....... 57,sS5.O3
Total increase in amount of
taxes for year 190S..s 4,121,6 go
It will therefore appear that there
has been a reduction of twelve (12)
cents on the 500 valuation in county
taxes. and nine and seven-twelfths g
7-12) in state rates, or a total reduc-
ton of twenty-one and seven-twelfths
cents.
