Young, speaking as president of the

heacit will be cleared off without
blacing additional burdens on the tax
tayers. Many reasons are given for
lie debt which the county is carrying,
kmong them being that the state has

Railroad tax and the loss OF revenue

The taxpayers of the city will not
be so fortunate, as the tax levy will
be raised from forty to forty-one
mills for next year. The tax was
raised four mills last year. The rea-
son given is the large amount of
money being expended in public work
