Residents in the various sub
urbs which are to be annexed to
Tacoma will probably be sur
|prised to learn that their taxes
will be only slightly raised by the
annexation. In the cases of Puy-
|allup and Steilacoom, the levy
will in part be lowered. Fern Hill
and Milton will remain almost the
same.
II all the towns are taken in
with Tacoma, the various levies
will all be averaged and in almost
all of the cases the result will be
a slight raise for the small towns.
However, the territory coming
In will probably be designated as
district S, and the residents In this
district will not have to pay for
debts contracted by the other dis
tricts before their annexation, al
though they will have to pay their
share of the power plant. In the
cases of Steilacoom and Puyallup,
the levy is higher than in any of
the three districts in Tacoma, and
their levy will be lowered by the
average.
