TO THE TAXPAYERS OF GRAND JUNCTION

= T is the plan of this board of COM
missioners to publish a statement
at the end of each quarter of our
fiscal year; but, as there has been so
much in public print in certain of our
newspapers that is misleading regard
ing conditions, we deem ii the proper
time now to publish a brief state
ment at this time, referring especial
ly to those points about which so
much comment has been made in the
public press.
The Increase OF Six Mills in Our
Tax Levy.
The increase of mills over the
last years levy should be readily un-
derstood by all. The reason this was
necessary is simply this:
Last year, and in all previous
years. we had an income from liquor
licenses of $40. 10000.
The Increase of 6 mills in the levy
on this years tax valuation of ST.
679,317.00 amounts to sl0.0T5.90,
which will not quite Offset this loss
from liquor licenses.
But some persons have been given
the impression that this increase of
about one-fourth in the city levy in
creases the taxes that they will have
to pay one-fourth.
The facts in regard to this are
these:
Last year the total tax levy for
Grand Junction Estate, county,
school and city, was 76.6; this year
it is S4.2. or an increase of about IL
per cent in the gross amount, and
not 25 per cent as some have the i'm
preston it is.
The Appropriation of S9O,59O.OO.
To make this matter clear to all,
we will go little into details, and
go somewhat into the items.
In the first place, we want to have
il understood that the fact of max
ing our appropriation certain
amount has no bearing whatever on
what we will spend, so long as we
