Taxes For City Purposes I Is Per Cent of
Assessed Valuation


Tax Question: All property is assessed
one-third of low cash valuation. To better
illustrate: My residence at low cash valua-
ton is So, 500 assessed at 1000 with taxes for
city purposes $28, public library $40, schools
$44, total $780, or 1926 per cent assessed
valuation, or for city purposes alone rs per
cent

Schneider, with city council and only one
policeman, an officer who believes in the en-
forcement of law. We have no saloons in

of the smallest counties in the state of Illinois,
Pardon me for going into details, but I am
aware that the liquor interests do not hesitate
to attempt to blind the voters and taxpayers
