In another column we give some
figures from the abstract of the tax

eral nature, now we will give some
figures of particular interest to our
readers in Mile Laos, Sherburne

county, exclusive of money and
credits, is So, 1856, 1872: the average
rate of taxation is 50.91 mills; the
average assessable value of land per
acre is Sc. 70; the total taxes levied
for 1913 are $3.50, 524.79: the total
state taxes levied, exclusive of in
terest and principal on state loans
which amount to $40, 49l.55, are $780,
5000. In other words, the state
taxes levied in Mile Laos county are
about one-tenth Of the whole.
The total valuation Of Isanti

average assessable value of land per

amount to S4,274.83 are SIT, 481.67.

age assessaDle value of land per acre
is $3.50: the total taxes levied are

1924, are s15,509.s7. Money and
credits: Isanti county, $685. 1884:
Mile Laos county 1908, 2O4: Sher-

During the calendar year of 1913
Mile Laos county received from the
state S41, S44. AZ and paid to the state
S11, 494.15. The amounts received
from the state were as follows:
March and October school apportion-
ments: Sl5, 1890: 49, high schools,
graded schools and rural schools,
SO, 565; for roads and bridges,
S., sos. 81: inheritance tax 1923. 70;
county agricultural society, 81, 1925.
Mile Laos county received $50, 35O.27
more than it paid the state in taxes.
Isanti county received from the
state 1927, 633. Is and paid to the state
81, S5l ,95. The amounts received
from the state were as follows:
March and October school apportion-
ments, SIG, 270: high schools, graded
schools and rural schools, $40, 1853; in
heritance tax, $3.50: county agri-
cultural society, sS95.25. Isanti
county received SIS, 7Sl. 80 more than
it paid the state in taxes, and there
is an unexpended balance of road and
bridge fund belonging to Isanti
county in the state treasury.
Sherburne county received from
the state 500, 1885, 60 and paid to the
state $40, 645.54. The amounts re-
ceived from the state were as fol-
lows: March and October appor-
tionments, sS,995.6O: high schools,
graded schools and rural schools,
SIS, PAL; for roads and bridges, SO, $780,
oherburne county received $40, 34l. O6
more than it paid the state.
The reason why Mile Laos re-
ceived larger amount from the
state than Isanti was on account of
it's greater number of schools that
we're entitled to state aid and it's
road and bridge appropriation-Mille
Laos did not receive it's share of the
old ''pork barrel'' road and bridge
appropriation until last year, any
how the appropriation was not util-
lied until last year, and Isanti did
not utilize it's road and bridge ap-
preparation last year.
The above figures should be
studied carefully by those who i'm
agine that they are paying more
than their share of state taxes.
Why in Mile Laos county the March
and October pportionments to the
schools-every school district shares
in these apportionments in proper
tion to it's number of pupils-amount
to So, S55.45 more than the county
paid altogether in state taxes, but
in addition to that the state has
paid to the several schools of the
county entitled to state aid Sl9,565 Z
This year each of the three
counties will receive from the state
road and bridge fund several times
over what each is obliged to con-.
tribute to that fund under the one
mill tax. ,
