TO the fAxfAYERS or fHe
TOWN or kOODstOck.


At the last meeting Of the couri-
Gil Of the Town Of Woodstock, the
levy or tax rate Of said town for the
coming year was considered, but no
rate or levy fixed until communica-
ton could be had with other towns
in the State with the purpose of OBJ
tanning information as what other
towns are doing in making the levy
under the new Virginia Tax Law.
Heretofore, taking last years as
sessment as a basis, the intangible
property (bonds, notes and other
evidences of debit assessed in the
Town of Woodstock amounted ia
|$125,0OO.OO from which the town
derived revenue of 81, $4,000.
Tangible property (household
furniture. stock. wagons, &c., as.
sessed in the Town of Woodstock
amounted to $75,OOO.OO so that
from the above statement it is plain
that our assessment on intangible
property was 100000 more thar
the assessment on tangible property
Under the New Virginia Tax Law
the town can only levy tax of &c
cents~on the $4,000 of assessed in.
tangible property, whereas last yeal
the town could and did levy a tax
of $l.O0 on the $4,000 of assessed
intangible property. Thus by the
new tax law the town will have q
loss Of 70 cents on each $1,000 Of
intangible property, or about $875. 90
The tax rate of o5 cents on each
$4,000 of assessed intangible prop.
erty now going to the State, instead
of to the Town. Losses from Ii
cense, heretofore collected by the
town, but now collected by the
State. will amount to about $4,000
Thus under the new tax law tn,
Town of Woodstock Will have a los.
of about 81 ,O75.OO from the revenu,
of the Town.
A levy or rate of $1.1O by tn,
Corporation or Town of Woodstock
will not increase the tax any NOR,
to the taxpayer in the Town or Cor
lporation of Woodstock, than tn
81 90 rate existing at present, con
siderlng the fact that the Count,
rate has been reduced 10 cents
However, this will net the tow
about $4,000 so that there will still
be net loss in revenue of abou
$4,000.
Now the Council of the Town o
Woodstock is confronted with tn
loss of about $4,000 of revenue
and the question before it. is, hoy
shall this deficiency be raised.
A special meeting of the Counc
of the Town of Woodstock will b
held on Tuesday evening. June 22no
| 1915, at 8 o'clock. P. NJ, in tn
office of M. w. Magruder, Recorder
at which time and place this matte
will be fully considered, and any 0
all taxpayers of the Corporation o
| Woodstock. will be welcome to a.
tend said meeting and give thei
opinions as to this matter effectin
every taxpayer in the Corporation.

RoCkiDQham Horses
For EurOpean War

For the first time during the
present. European war, Rocking.
ham was visited Saturday by a
representative of one of the be-
ligerent powers who was in quest
of horses suitable for calvary
service. Twenty fancy English
mounts were purchased in Staun-
ton and eight were bought in
Harrisonburg.
The market was crowded Sat-
urday with horses from every
part of the county but only a
very few Of the animals could
stand the tests to which the
British agents subjected them.
Only the best of stock was
bought, the prices paid averag.
ing about $50 per head.
The Earl of Orkney, a gentle
man whose appearance is in keep
ing with his title, and Dr..
Charles McErclline are the
Kings agents who visited Har-
risonburg. With them was w.
J. Roman, of New York, agent of
Foxhall keene. Mr. Keene also
was in town.
The Earl received a telegram
Saturday evening from the Bit
fish Remount Station at Newport
News, asking him to return there
at once and, accordingly, he left
Harrisonburg Sunday morning.
The appointments at Woodstock,
New Market and other points in
the Valley, therefore, have been
cancelled, and no horses will be
bought at those places
Horses accepted were branded
IN the afternoon, u" being
placed on one side and an arrow
on the other. The u" gave
rise to rumors that the horses
were being bought for the United
States and not for Great Britain.
This rumor, however, was not
confirmed.
The horses also were tagged
and their names ami tails clip
ped. They were shipped by ex-
press Sunday morning to theI
British Remourt Station at New
port News.--News-Record.
