BOARD fIXES$1.16
AS INSIDE RATE
Surplus of Last Year and Higher
Valuations Make County
Taxes Lower

OAKLAND. Sept. 16.-The supervisors
announced today that the inside state
and county tax rate would be s1.16, as
against $1.3s for last year. An increase
of assessed valuations amounting to IA
per cent and cut in the state tax
rate amounting to $0.036, added to the
fact that no general election was held
this year and the expense of making up
great register was spared, permitted
the cut. The amount of taxes paid
into the county treasury will be
slightly more than before.
The rate as agreed upon does not
cover the maintenance of high and
grammar grades in the Oakland school
district, taxes which under the new
law are to be raised by the county.
These will, under the revised figures,
amount to at least 25 cents more for
the district.
The grammar schools will cost $780,
500, according to an estimate furnished
by Superintendent of City Schools Nc
Clymonds, but examination of the funds
today showed that after the regular
state apportionment had been made
for their support balance of only
s65, 900 would have to be raised by
special tax instead of the first esti-
mate of $4,000. This will be pro-
vided by cent tax. The high schools
will require s114.o00, adding at least
IL cents to the rate. Bond redemption
for schools and other purposes will
cost cents.
In making up the rate today the
surplus of 100000 existing from last
year was taken into consideration.
The regular 40 cent road tax will be
added outside of the incorporated
cities and towns. Supervisor Bridge
favored an increase in this tax, but
was outvoted. The rate will be for
mally established Monday.
