DISTRIBUTION
OF TAXES
Territorial Auditor
w. G. Sargent
Makes Levies
WHY INCREASE NECESSARY
Bonds to Amount of $685.
600 Called in for Re-
funding.

has calculated the amount to be de-
rived from the tax levy of 14.45 mills
on the dollar announced yesterday as
the levy for the Territory on all tax
able property Last year the levy
was Ii mills and the year before IA
mills. The increase is caused by the
levy for the road fund, and the in
crease for the different Territorial
institutions. 1t is calculated that
each mill will bring revenue Of $40,-
900, the total assessment last year
having been $56,0OO,0O0, from which,
however, the exemptions of about $3,-
100000 have to be deducted. 1t Is
probable, that the taxable assessment
will reach $60,OO0,O00 and over this
year and that each mill may produce
$4,000 or more, in which case, the
levy next year can be materially re-
duced. The following are the amounts
needed to run the Territory during
the next fiscal year:
Interest on bonded debt, 100000.
Penltentlary fund, $6o,360.
Armory certificates of indebted
ness and interest, $11,013.333.
