Charleston, w. Va, December G.
That West Virginia has the lowest

is the declaration made by State Tax
Commissioner Townsend, who has just
made up the average rate for he year.
For all purposes, state, county, district
and municipal. the average rate of
levy on the hundred dollars valua-
ion of property is "a IL cents. The
state having the next lowest rate, ac-
cording o the tax commissioner, is
Kansas. with a rate of "a cents.
West Virg'nia's rate of levy has
been on the decrease for several years,
Last year the levy was a fraction over
IS cents and in 1904 it was $215. A.

Entrance to Banking Room---Stole Couple
Dollars, Postage Stamps and Revolver
From Cashier Hills Desk

found a bunch of keys in a drawer and
with one OF which he opened NJ. Hills
desk and took the articles named.
1t would seem, from all the clrcum-
stances in the cas- that the thief was
more or less familiar with conditions
about the bank building, and for a
small sum of money was willing to run
the risk Of detection from the outside,
even with the lights turned on in the
bank, as they always are at night.
The cellar door on the north side of
the bank building was found open this
morning (Which had been propped on
the inside) and this was the first init
nation that a robbery had been com
mitted. There is no clue.
This robbery closely follows that at
the residence of Mr.. Howard II. EN-
inert. who, by the way, is president of
the Old National Bank, but the latter
was of far greater consequence and to
which, so far. there is no clue.
