HAS BIG INCREASE

Total of S17,381.1kl

HYATTSvILLE, Nd. March 1.-THE
assessment for the year 1913 in this
county, the compilation of which has
Just been completed by Henry st. j. L.
Sriscoe, clerk to the board OF county
commissioners, is slI.osI.l4s. Compared
with 81, ,02l. .o9s last year, it shows an in
crease Of s3s5.l:T. This means that should
tie tax rate be fixei at s: or the SiOc
as seems likely. an additional revenue to
the county of s3.6el during the current
fiscal year
Fifteen of the nineteen districts show
an increase IN the assessibie basis.
Blsdensburg and Hyattsville districts
are among those showing decrease.
but this is accounted for by the fact
that the Riverda,e oistic. h.s been
carved out OF these two distiic;3 since
the last assessment. The assessment
for the infant district is s19S 49,. which is
more than eight OF the old districts can
individually show. Just how much of
Riverdale districts assessment was
taken from Hyattsville and from River
dale is difficult to determine.
IL the Rivcrdale assessment is divided
equally between Hyattsville and Bla-
densburg. Hyattsville will show an in
crease and Bladensburg decrease
The probabilities are, however, that
both of these districts have increased.

districts: Vansville, sl,Sl0. .f79. increas
