pleted by June 20. The pay
ment of the second half will com
plete the collection of taxes

Of a million dollars taxes on
real and personal property in
Barton county. As there is US
ually considerable interest as to
the ultimate destination of tax
es aggregating such a sum, the
treasurer has prepared an alb
stract showing the distribution
of the 1908 taxes.
This abstract shows many facts
It shows, for instance, that the
money spent by the Great Bend
board of education is nearly
equal to the total amount of all
municipal expenses Of the city
of Great Bend.
In the table below are shown
the amount of taxes. One re-
markable thing and something
never before accomplished is tina
80 per cent of the tax has been
paid and allotted. Usually at
this time of the year, only oO
per cent is collected and allott-
ed. So in this table all but ten
per cent of the amounts shown
