COUNTY TAX RATE
TO REMAIN same

There is little possibility of the
state tax board increasing the assess
ment OF property in Wayne county, &C
cording to County Auditor Bowman
Wayne county's assessment comes up
before the board Thursday and the
county auditor will appear before the
board to explain in detail the assess
ment Of property in every township in
the county
An increase OF $1,356,450 is shown In
the assessment of real and personal
property in this county, and within all
probability the assessment Of rail-
roads and public service corporations,
which is done by state commission,
will make this increase even larger.
The total assessment of property in
Wayne county this year is $37,39S,S49.
The total assessment Of real estate Is
$23,899,39O The estimated assessment
of public service corporations based on
last years assessment, is $4,O45, 299.
