TAX RATE ESQ
FOR 1918

The figures given out by the city
official are to the effect that the tax
rate for 1913 will be 2.30 or .16 less
than for 1912. This lowering of the
rate will come as a surprise to a
great many in view of the increase
in the state and county tax, over
last year
The state tax for this year is
SIS, 1921 and the county tax in
Guiding interest and payment on
school loans amounts to $32,29S.42
or a total of $50, 491. SO.
The state and county taxes for
last year were $4O,23020. This
makes a total increase in state and
county taxes of O,261.43 over the
year 1912
The tax rate for 1912 was 2.46
which was s points more than the
rate this year.
The valuation of city property
has increased 100000 over the pre-
Mous year.

GOOD ROADS
PICTURES

The good roads picture slides ex-
hibited at the Ideal theatre Tues
day evening, illustrated what can
be done now days in road building
with the present facilities. Con
crete roads, macadam and brick paw
ing, is some of the popular methods
of road building. Grand Rapids has
recently had brick paving and con-
crete road work done and now are
testing out their wearing surfaces
so as to decide which gives best
satisfaction, considering cost, ma
terials, ETC. There is no question
any more, but what good roads i'm
prove the value of abutting property
and makes travel much better. Push
the good roads question along.

Movement Similar to Good Fellow
Move in Large Cities.

At the last meeting of the local
lodge Of Elks, it was decided to maks

conducted by the Chicago Tribune
and later copied by newspapers in
the larger cities all over the country,
and which has become an annual
custom wherever it has been tried
out.
The people Of Grand Rapids are re
Quested to furnish tn committee
with the names of any who they be-
lieVe to be worthy of this assist
ancae Send in the names as early
as possible so that none may be left
out.
