eled in executing criminal processes

ing. Deputy castlemap stated that he

IN TAXES
is SMALL

In speaking of the matter of the in
crease in taxes to be levied for 1915,
as mentioned in the Express Of
Wednesday, J. A. Corzine, chairman
of the county board, stated this morn
ing that while the total taxes would
be increased approximately 40 per
cent, as stated, yet the increase in the
taxes for county purposes, or for the
purpose Of defraying the actual county.
expenses, would only amount to total
of $270 over last year.
Mr.. Corzine stated that the material
part of the increase, as the same
would appear on the treasurer's and
the assessors books would show that
the township boards had this year
asked for levy Of the limit of 315
mills, where heretofore these boards
have only asked for levy of V mills.
This of course figures in the forty per
cent increase. In addition to this the
state levy has been raised or increased
from 1.3 mills to IA mills.
Eliminating the state tax items, Mr.
Corzine stated the documents would
show that in 1914 the levy for the
county amounted to $74,3S6, while the
levy for 1915, state taxes not included,
will amount to $S6,564, showing a net
increase in the county levy of s12,17S.
OF this increase, Mr.. Corzine said,
$1O,0OS in round numbers was called
for the road and bridge fund Mr..
Corzine stated that Mr.. Mullican was
correct in his statement, as made yes
terday that the heavy and continued
rains of the past spring had washed
cut bridges and torn up roads in such
a manner as to be largely responsible
for the big increase, but he called es-
pecial attention to the fact that the
increased state levy and the increased
demands from the township boards
also were partly responsible.

lowered in it's standard for recogni-
tion, The citizens should realize that
it is the fundamental purpose Of the
board of education to give all the chill
dren of all the people better facilities
for the education they so much need.
The board, realizing the crowded
conditions in all the schools and the
need of equipment in the high school
has, after much deliberation, decided
that new school building is the best
solution to the problem of providing
the needed school facilities. This
should be a building for the intermed-
late grades furnished and equipped for
these grades, their age and their de-
nands. 1t should be a building not
merely for the present, but one that
will meet all the requirements until
the city has increased several thou
sand above the present population.
The nature of the building contem-
plated by the board is one that will
serve as connecting link between the
grades and the high school, one that
can be used to relieve the pressure on
the lower grades and the pressure of
the first year of the high school
The special election will be held on
December 21.
