to architectural structure forced upon him
by his adoption of dance forms for so many Of
his compositions; but he made free with form

ALEXANDRIA ASSESSMENT
Shows Increase in Values of Over
$1,000 900.

The new State assessment of proper
ty in Alexandria has been completed.
1t will show an increase of about 81,
900, 900 in property valuations over the
assessment made five years ago.
The present rate of taxation is $l.9O
on 500, but it has been a custom for
many years to assess property for less
than its market value. Should the new
assessment show that property has
been listed at its full value, it is ex-
pected that an agitation for a reduc-
ton in the tax rate, which was started
several years ago, will be revived. In
addition to the city tax of $l.90, there
is State tax of 30 cents on each 800.
