Mr.. 0'Connell. "He cannot hear COM
plants. He must collect taxes or sell

The letter also shows that the reason
for the increase is due to the fact that
the board of assessors, in accordance
with the statutes, revalued all the real
estate in Chicago last year before the
assessment was levied and passed on
to the board of review for final adjust
ment. A revaluation is made every
four years.
Largest Increase.
One of the largest increases WAS
voted by the citizens of Chicago. when
they approved the bond issue of the
sanitary district. The tax here was
raised from 81 cents per 800 valuation
to Il cents. The towns of West Chi
"ago, North Chicago and Lake View
have additional taxes for boulevards.
The state tax is IS cents, the county
tax Sc cents, the city tax $50, the
school tax S144. These, with the park
and sanitary district taxes. make the
burden of the taxpayers run from s4.56
