CITIZENS PAYING
 CITY TAXES EARL Y
Although Rate For $10O Is Chea- per, Taxes Are Higher
 There's a Reason

City Marshal Allison says city tax payers are responding in splendid style tC his appeal for an early pay. ment of taxes in order to replenish the depleted city treasury and stop the paying of interest for money for current expenses. Incidentally. this helps the taxpayer as every added expense increases the amount to be raised by taxaton During the past two days great many citizens have paid their taxes and Mir Allison hopes each day will witness larger number so that when the third Mon day in December comes there will be scarcely any delinquent taxes. thus establishing a new record
 MT. Allison says he is receiving many enquiries every day, both by phone and in persons, as to why taxes are higher this year than last when the rate is lower. The reason is because this year. under the new state law, all property is taxed at its full value. The property along part of the main street is taxed on a val. nation of $500 per front foot, which was fixed according to the Somers system.
 Last year the assessment was on a basis of only 50 per cent of the real valuation and while the rate was S2.6O on the $1OO 1t made taxes less than this year with a rate of $l80 per $100 on a full value basis.
