DECATUR TAXES RAISED
land Values Raised 20 Per Cent on
1913 Valuation. IS Cents Less
s Than 1914 Valuation.

The state executive council Mon
day fixed the levy for taxes collect
able in 1916 at AS mills for state
purposes. This is reduction of A
mill under the levy made last year.
After equalizing values of proper
ty in the state, the total net taxable
value is $94O.416,552. This is an
increase of $S,0O0,O00 over last year.
The total of moneys and credits re-
ported for taxation is $27O,OOO,O 600.
In fixing the state tax levy, the
council arranged the rates so as to
produce $15O,000 for capitol exten-
sion; $1,966,6O0 for the state edu-
cational institutions and $2,1OO,OOO
for general purposes.
The levy for capitol extension will
be IL mill; for educational institu-
tions 2.11 mills; for general state
purposes z.22 mills-the total being
as mills. The reduction in the
total levy is mainly due to the capi-
tol extension act which provides for
$15O,OO0 revenue annually for the
next eight years. The levy previous
ly had been half mill.
The council adjusted all the as
sessments but did not adjourn as a
board of review SO as to give an op-
, portunity of making corrections ii
the figures do not work out as eX-
pected.
The values of live stock which
were fixed in 1913 were continued
without change Wherever coun-
ties reported assessments under that
scale, orders were issued to raise
the valuations.
In eQualiZing the values OF real
estate, the council stood pat on its
action of 1913 in raising values.
Forty-one counties reported as
sessments higher this year than
they were two years ago. The
council permitted these to stand
without change, with the exception
of O'Brien county, The assessors
in that county reported assessments
raised from an average of S76.S3 to
$3.50 an acre. The council thought
this was out of proportion to the
values in other counties. Therefore
as per cent reduction was authoriz-
ed
The counties which reported as
sessments this year higher than two
years ago were:
Audubon, Black Hawk, Boone,
Bremen, Buchanan, Carroll, Cerro
Gordo, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Clay,
