Total. .579 mills $5,S19,449

Figures for the state tax levy for
1912, given out by the state board Of
equalization upon completion of their
labors, show total levy for state
purposes of $40 mills, which raise a
total of $3.50, 499, while the state
is shown TO have entered the billion
dollar class on assessed valuations,
the total being $1,005, 0S6,251 for
both real and personal property. AS
the average ratio of assessed to actu1
valuation for the state is found by the
state board to be 42.41 per cent. this
would indicate the taxable property
| in the state of Washington has
reached an actual valuation of So
500, 100000 in round numbers. Last
year the total assessed valuation was
1855, OnO,O 900.
Assessed valuation totals hare
been arrived at by the state board as
follows:
While the levy of 5.79 mills is an
increase of 10 of a mill over the
1911 levy of SOB mills, this is occa-
stoned by the new legislative pro.
vision requiring a fixed levy of s of
mill for the public highway fund,
and providing fixed levies for the
state educational institutions, instead
of making appropriations for the edu-
cational institutions from the general
fund. The fixed levy, totalling LOS
mills, gives these institutions more
than they would have gotten undep
The old system. Other than in thco..
respects the levy for this year would
be in effect a slight reduction from
LAST year in tax rate.
The general fund, reduced by ex
clusion of educational institutions
has a levy of 1.23 mills, PRODUCING
$1,236,2 56. Last year the general
fund levy was 30 mills.
The school fund levy is 100 mills
producing $1,909,664, and with the
LOB for the state institutions of
higher education, producing $1.055.
Sal, makes total of 295 mills AMI
S2,S65,055 for educational purposes.
The permanent highway fund of
mill, which takes the place of the old
state aid road fund, producing 81
OO5,086 and the levy of one-half M
to-,
S5O2, Dab, makes a total road levy of
LOO mills producing $1,507,629 for
road purposes. This shows that rs
Der cent of all state taxes goes for
roads and educational purposes, and
the money collected therefore by tho
state is returned to the counties and
the institutions. All the revenues Of
the permanent highway fund are an
portioned directly among the
counties, the full amount each pavs
in, so the state acts merely as collec-
llon agent. Formerly the counties
mad to raise an amount equal to what
ever they received from the state,
Now the whole amount is covered in
the state levy.
The total levy of LOS mills for the
state educational institutions is SEE.
