Tax Rates Still
H Going Down

With a degree Of uniformity that
must be disconeerting to the calamity
howlers, who insisted that it was i'm
possible for the Democratic state ad-
nninistration to effect a reduction in
the tax rates, the preliminary re-
ports of the budget commissioners in
various counties Of Ohio show con-
tinuing substantial reductions in near
ly every county heard from.
In Portsmouth, a growing city Of
So. 900 people the rate III I'd be- cut
from LAS mills Oh each dollar ofvals
nation to 1876. The city matched
the state in making reduction, the
cut in the state levy being some
thing over half mill.
In Clay township, Scioto county
the rate goes from 9.4 mills to IA
mills, which is a reduction of more
than 21 per cent. Others are Porter
township from 1875 to 11.5, and
Washington township from 11.6 to
1916 mills.
The average cut in Tuscarawas
county is one mill, according to the
earliest estimates. 1t will be great
er in many districts. In Urbana, the
officials will have more funds than
they had last year to meet municipal
needs, but the rate drops from LAG
to 1858 mills. Here are few in
stances of how the Warnes law tax
system is working in Wayne, Woos-
ter's rate drops from Is mills to
1890; West Salem, 1850 to 1920;
Orrville 1890 to 11.90; Fredericks-
burg 15.40 to 1910.
1t is freely predicted that the new
system will leave few tax rates above
the IL mill mark, while the general
average for the state will go tumb.
ling away below the ten mill mark
It will doubtless, too,, eliminate al
rates over is mills, even in extreme
cases.
Hardin County's example, which
made a reduction Of 8 to % per cent
with an average Of II, is familiar tc
all who have been following current
developments.

Mayor to Name
u Road Delegates
-3@Ng RI n

Mayor Gehman, Of Medina, has been
requested by the Hon. A. B. Fletch-
eAE President of the Fourth American
Road Congress and State Highway
Engineer of California, to name three
delegates to attend the sessions of the
Congress at Atlanta, Georgia, during
the week Of November 9th.
Forth-seven great organizations are
taking part in the Congress under the
leader ship of the American Highway
Association and the American Auto
mobile Association. In his letter to
the Mayor, President Fletcher calls
attention to the fact that practically
every state highway commissioner
will be present and take part in dis
cussing the important problems of
road construction, and maintenance,
and that some Of the foremost men
in public life will devote their atten-
tion to the great question of Federal
Aid to road improvement, in an endea-
vor to work out a policy which may be
submitted to the Congress Of the Unit
ed States with the support of the or
ganized road movement Of America.
President Fletcher calls attention to
the exhibits to be made by the United
States Government, the States, and
more than a hundred Of the leading
manufacturers at the Congress, which
will illustrate every known method,
material and equipment for road con-
struction and maintenance. He urges
that the city and county be officially
represented, as the Congress is in
reality a training school where very
great amount of useful information
can be obtained through attendance at
lectures with leading specialists in
road and street work, and the collect
ing Of the many instructive bulletins
which will be available for distribu-
ion.
