TAXES INCREASE TWICE
Continued from page /

valuation, while in 1871 it had reached
$2O.7136. This again is manifestly an
increase of S41603 on every 81 900 of
assessed valuation in ten years.
Again, the assessed valuation in
1902 was $1,41s,251, ,,s5s, while in 1911
it had increased only to $1,ses, ,057 500
in ten years.
Now with this preliminary comes
the really interesting and really start
ling feature of it an
In ten years the assessed valuations
of general property i'll Michigan had
increased but 1873 per cent.
In ten years the taxes levied on
general property have increased GA
per cent.
Taxes have increased almost twice
as fast as valuations.
This is the interesting feature of
the situation as it stands. That shows
more conclusively than anything else
that the assessed valuation of general
property in Michigan must be in
creased to cash value else the rate OF
taxation by constantly increasing
must become burdensome.
The following table shows the as
sessed valuation of all general prop
erty in Michigan, the taxes levied
against it and the average rate for
the last ten years:
