|OCALA'S BUDGET
FOR NEXT YEAR
Some Interesting Figures for the Tax
payers of the City
to Consider

Henry C. Sistrunk, city clerk, has
prepared his budget estimate of the
fiscal year of 1916-17, and council will
begin consideration of the same at its
next regular meeting. According to
Mr.. Sistrunk's estimate it will be nee
essary next year to levy tax of 13
mills, as against mills levied this
year, and in this connection the city
clerk says: "The council may consider
it wise not to levy millage for re-
retiring the electric light and water
works bonds, looking forward to the
Improvement of these plants when
there will no doubt be profit suffi-
cient that could be set aside for the
retirement of these bonds. This is
the only way whereby reduction in
the millage can be arrived at" Should
council decide to use the profit of the
plant, Mr.. Sistrunk is of the opinion
that the millage might be reduced
from 13 mills to II mills.
The total valuation of property in
the city according to the 1916 assess
ment amounts to $4,215,2 ,29O, and to
take care of the general fund of the
city will require levy of six mills,
that would raise S25, 5,279.74. It will
be necessary, according to the esti-
mate, to have millage of 31s mills
to take care of sinking fund for gem
eral bonds, water works bonds, sewer
bonds and electric light bonds. It
viii be necessary to have a 81 mills
levy to cover the bond interest, u mill
for public library fund, * mill for
rest room fund.
The total expenses of the general
fund for 1915 amounted to 1861,
and the estimated general fund ex-
pense for 1916-F is s38, ,605.35. The
estimated receipts for the 1851
general fund amount to $13,525.61.
Making the amount to be raised by
taxation for the general fund $685.
279.74.
The sinking fund for the general
bonds is $1,000, interest $1,000; for
water works bond $4,000 and $4,000
respectively; for sewer bonds $500
and $4,000; for electric light bonds
$4,000 and $3.50.

CASH PRIZES FOR
FLORIDA CORN
Heard National Bank Offers Induce
ments to Farmers to Increase
the Yield

The Heard National Bank Of Jack
sonville is offering prizes for the best
bushel Of corn grown by Florida
farmer. The prizes are 800 for first,
SIS for second, and $50 for third.
These prizes are high enough to make
it worth while to compete and we want
Marion county to be represented.
There should be full bushel Of ear
corn, and each individual ear should
be cleaned, shucked and wrapped with
paper and tied with string. Your
local bank will take care Of the for
warding and you can get full informa-
ton by applying to your banker. The
judging will probably occur in Noven-
Der and the exhibit should be for
warded as soon as the corn is dry.
There will be many exhibits doubt
lessly and the great amount of corn
exhibited will enable the agricultural
staff of the university and experiment
station to get much better line on
the different types grown in the stats
and help them in their work. This
great exhibit of FIorida's best corn
win help put the corn raising quail
ties Of this state before the country
and not only bring new settlers here
but also awaken those already here to
greater efforts.
Marion county certainly wants to be
well represented in this corn show
and many exhibits of the best co<=
which the county produces this year
should be sent. Just remember that
we must not be found wanting when
the exhibit is closed. Marion county
must try to hold up her reputation
and get the prize. It is up to the
farmers to show the visitor to Jack
sonville that this is the county where
the best corn can be grown;

SOME FIGURES ON
GOOD ROADS BUILDING

The committee named at the meet
ing of good roads enthusiasts Monday
night, to prepare circular letter and
statement outlining the proposed plan
for issuing $4,000 in bonds to give
Marion county permanent highways,
has completed its work, and the letter
and statement will be sent out as soon
as possible to the various precincts.
The members of the committee are w.
d earn, David S. Welch and Z. NJ.
Osborne. The information will be
sent out in order that the precincts
will have something definite to guide
them in their selection of delegates to
the convention to be held in Ocala on
August for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the sentiment of the people
with regard to the proposed bond is
sue.
The committees letter follows:
To the Voters of Marion County:
We are spending s70,0 900 every year
for up keep of our present hard
roads and paying interest and liquid
ating our present Indebtedness.
AS you are aware there is a move
ment on foot to bond the county for
the purpose of building permanent
roads. We find that SO bonds to the
amount of 5000, 900 viii retire the
outstanding Indebtedness and build
about 200 miles of sand-asphalt road,
which with small maintenance will
last indefinitely.
The bonds will take up the $4,000
warrants at Ia less than we are now
paying.
We inclose a statement showing
amount of bonds to be issued each
year with interest thereon and sink
ing fund carefully worked out, which
we think can not be disputed, show
ing that 5000, 900 of thirty year bonds
can be issued; that these bonds viii be
paid off in thirty years with all in
terest at the same or less than the
present miIIage and at the same time
have maintenance fund ample to
keep all roads in good repair and carry
on general road work throughout the
county. We urge you to study this
table carefully and make your own
calculations.
In making this table we have fgur-
ed that the property of the county
will increase each five years Is per
cent. or at the rate of three per cent
per year. We do not think that this
is as much as it viii actually increase,
but certainly think we are safe in this
estimate.
During the past ten years the rec
ords of the tax assessors Office show
an average increase OF 8 % per year.
Even without better roads we may
expect this increase in valuation, but
with permanent roads and the addi-I
tons to our population we believe it
viii be double this amount and only
go increase is very low estimate.

gested and seem to meet general ap-
