WILL FIX COUNTY TAX RATE
BOARD HOPES 1T WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY TO RAISE 1T.
Taxes Will Be Higher, However, the
School Rate Having Been Raised.
Total Tax Rate VIII BE SO.


One of the important matters that
will come before the board of county
commissioners at their meeting next
Tuesday will be the fixing of the
county tax rate. Clerk X. S. Worthy
is now preparing a statement Of the
county's present Indebtedness and
prospective needs next year for the
guidance of the commissioners in
considering the matter.
The rate last year was $500 on the
thousand only 81 less than the con-
stitutional limit, and Chairman Hol-
Iingsworth is hopeful that it will not
be raised, though it possibly may be
necessary on account of increased
road expenses.
The county board of education has
raised the rate of school tax 500
on the thousand, and the people of
Terrell will pay higher taxes this
year than they did last year regard
less of what action the commissioners
may take.
The state tax rate of $500 on the
thousand Cthe same as it was last
year,, a school tax rate of $500 on
the thousand, and a county rate of
$500 on the thousand make a rate
of $500 certain, with the possible
addition Of $500 more for county
purposes.
The total tax for all purposes last
year was $500 on the thousand.
