LOWEST TAX LEVY
IN STATES HISTORY

The lowest tax levy in the history
of the state has been announced olIi-
cially by the state board OF tax COM
mlssioners for 1913. The levy is 10
mills. The state taxes for the coming
year are placed at 81 ,0S6 Ola. The as
sessed valuation of property IT, the
state is $9O5,O11,679.
There will be an additional levy Of
1-25 of a mill for the support of the
state normal school at Monmouth, this
levy having been voted by the people
in 1910. This amount will be $36.200.
The legislature Of 1911 made an ap-
preparation of 100000 for the Uni
versity of Oregon. A referendum Of
the measure, however, stopped the
payment Of the money to the lAgisla-
ture The case went to the supreme
court and the resulting opinion was
that the referendum was sustained and
the appropriation was voted en- in the
November election and defeated, With
the 100000 in the state treasury and
no provision for its expenditure, the
state tax levy has been decreased rs a
result.

The Rur1lOrS
Are Denied
Officially

In the county court of the state of
Oregon, for Marion county,
In the matter of the report Of D. G.
Drager, expert accountant.
Now on this 7th day of January,
1913, comes on for hearing the report
of d. G. Drager, the expert on the rec
ords kept by R. D. Alien, deceased
late county clerk of Marion county,
oregon, and it appearing from the re-
port of said expert that said county
clerk has turned into the county treas
ury of Marion county, all sums Of
money held by him in trust as county
clerk of Marion county, Oregon, and
all fees by him collected as such
county clerk, with the exception of
/ four probate cases, Nos. 9317 1850,
1852, and $780, and it appearing to the
court that these four probate cases
have been settled and that the reason
for non-collection of said fees was due
to the fact that the inventories show
ed larger estate value than the Pc
tltion filed in said cases, and that
through error, said additional fees
were not collected.
Now, therefore, be it ordered, ad-
judged and decreed that the report Of
said expert be accepted and that the
estate of said r. ID. Allen deceased,
be absolved from any liability on ac-
! count of any or all transactions had
by R. d. Allen, deceased, as clerk Of
said county and state and that his
bondsmen be exonerated from further
liability, and that no responsibility be
attached by reason of the non-collec-
tion of the fees in the four cases men
toned.

ANSlEY PARK is FINISHED

WITH the expenditure of 100000 in
improving the last remaining section Of
Ansley Park and the making of ample
provisions for a unique club house, de-
signed by Architect W. l.. Stoddart, a
magnificent golf course. modern play
grounds, polo grounds. swimming pool
and additional miles of automobile

and Recreation Center" stands today a
finished product. the work OF some nine
years Of almost constant labor and at
a cost far exceeding a million dollars.
This completion OF Ansley Park is a
most important chapter in the history
of Atlanta. For almost a decade the
wonderful profits made by purchasers
and the marvellous natural beauties Of
these ideal home sites have attracted
the attention of not only Atlantans, but
Georgians, Southerners and visitors as
well. The mere fact that assessments
have increased from some $4,000 to
over $z,260,000, an advance Of 1,121 per
cent, tells a remarkable story in itself
From the very first Ansley Park has
been succession OF surprises. Com
pleted Ansley Park is a tremendous as
set to Atlanta. In addition to the many
beautiful lots that are to be offered,
the entire city, and especially the north
side. is immensely benefited by these
last improvements, the most modern to
be found in any residential section Of
the South.
Once Considered Suburban.
When Edwin p Ansley headed the
syndicate that purchased what Is now
Ansley Park, this section was consid-
cred suburban. Today it is not alone
the closest-in residential property, free
from the encroachments of the north
ward trend of business houses, but 1t
is conceded to be the most active resi-
dence real estate in the city.
AS 1t Is, these last remaining lots in
the new subdivision that completes
Ansley Park. offer far more advantages
to the home purchaser or investor than

the city.
Time was, and not so long ago, that
the would be purchaser OF home site
in Atlanta simply outlined his needs or
desires to the real estate dealer and re-
fused to Go business unless hts every
within was gratified. 1t is very differ
ent today The purchaser describes
what he would like to have and II after
a long search the real estate dealer is
able 10 meet even half Of the specified
requirements, both parties are de-
lighted
This is because the wonderful growth
of Atlanta has been such that the re-
manning home sites in desirable neigh
borhoods. especially on the north SIDE
are exceedingly limited.
Another reason is that business At
lanta has grown and expanded. and al
most invariably to the northward, in a
way that has absolutely claimed for It's
own purposes section after section, in

Along with this advancement Of
business houses, property that as re-
Gently as two or three years ago was
considered residential has advanced
with leaps and bounds, until today It's
values are practically prohibitive for
home purposes, quite aside from the
undesirability Of living in the midst Of
the noise, dust and rush OF business
section.
What's more, these business inter-
ests have already claimed Peachtree as
far as Fifteenth street, the beginning Of
Ansley Park. Indeed, Fifteenth street
marks the dividing line, for the regula-
lions and restrictions in Ansley Park
forever preclude all possibility Of any
discomfort from smoke and hurly-
burly belonging to business thorough

This also makes Ansley Park the

time to come. Business can not jump
across Ansley Park and start again at
Brookwood This is impractical. Ra-
Their future expansion must utilize other
north and south thoroughfares and
cross streets, all of which it is and has
been doing for years. Positive proof
lies in the wonderful advances in val
ues of property on Ivy, CORTLAND ana
Piedmont avenue as we'll as all cross
streets from Houston, Ellis, Cain, Har-
ris. Baker and others northward, all of
which are already conceded to the flu
ture business interests of Atlanta.
Happily, along with this tremendous
expansion that has been so much great
err and more rapid than even the most
optimistic could expect, completed Ans
ley Park, and especially this last new
subdivision, with it's golf, swimming
pool, Fairgrounds for the raising of
healthy youngsters and magnificent
new club house, offers Atlanta just the
relief for available, close-in property it
so greatly needs in the immediate pres
ent.
Ideal Place For Saaried Men.
Fortunately, too, while Ansley Park s
Peachtree frontage offers the highest
values of any residential property in
the city. there are other sections of the
park, especially this last section just
completed, where the purchaser Of home
sites OF the middle class and the young,
ambitious Albanian can find ideal places
we'll within their means.
This combination of the highest class
residential property together with that
for those Of more modest means, Is an
exceptional one, especially as all of the
natural beauties and the many recrea-
ton advantages are offered to both
alike.
More than this, Mr. Ansley has an
nounced that as a practical method of
celebrating the completion Of the park
he will offer these last remaining lots
on easy terms.
AS for all of these natural beauties
and recreation advantages that have
been added with the completion of Ans
ley Park, trite and commonplace as it
seen to be appreciated.
Besides every one is certain to see
new beauties on his or her own account.
Stand on any of the broad boulevards
that lntertwine and intersect the park

improvements that have been made and

in any way interfere with a restfulness

is remembered that all of these excep-
