MILLION INCREASE IN TAXES
Minnesota State Auditor Prepares
This Years figures.

Minnesota property owners musi
dig down into their pockets this year
for 37,162,527.79 in taxes, as com
pared with $35,974, 1881 last year, 40
cording to figures prepared by State
Auditor IYerson.
In spite of this increase in taxes
however, the burden on each taxpay
er is lighter by almost 2 mills, due to
the increase in the valuation of tax
able property from $1,212,567,794 In
1911 to $1,339758,747 in 1912. The
average rate in 1912 is 27.74 mills, as
against 1857 mills in 1911.
These figures represent the assess
ment and taxes on all farm and city
real estate and all personal property
for state, county, city, school districts
and other purposes.
