COMPILE LIST OF TAXABLE
PROPERTY.
DEMANDS ARE QUIET HEAVY

Was S2,506,741.

S. Donald has a force OF clerks at work
making compilations of the taxable
property OF the state and the maxi
mum state tax that can be levied this
year. The tables will be used by the
state officers who will meet in a few
. days and levy the state taxes for this
! year. It is expected that the Levy this
I year will be about $4,000 This is
much higher than that of any previous
year The appropriations made by the
last legislature totaled $25.000000 for
the two year period ending a year
from next January.
According 10 the tables prepared by
the secretary Of state the maximum
state taxes that can be levied this year
are $16,O00.000. 1t is expected that the
state board will make the levy as

ury and the large appropriations that
will have to be paid next year The levy
viii have to be about $4,000 900, ac-
cording to State Treasurer Henry
Johnson. The general fund of the
state treasury contains only 100000.
The state tax levy last year was
$2,566,711. The money was used for
the following purposes:
One hundred and dfty-seven thou
sand dollars to pay interest on out
standing bonds of the state, $4,000

$4,000 as state aid for graded
schools, $17S9,7I1 as state aid for
