While the many extravagant schemes
proposed by the administrat ton boards
had caused general expectation of a
big tax rate, it was not known. until
today, how the vast revenues were TO
be provided. '
The Remington Arms & Ammunition
Co. and the Union Metallic Cartridge
Co., distinct corporations with prac-
t1caT1y a common ownership, win bear
a large share of the great increase in
taxes.
Although the grand list on which
the next tax rate win be levied is
made up as Of Sept. 1, 1915, and many
of the Remington factories were bare
ly begun at that time, these corpora
tions will contribute about IS, ,ooo,oso of
the increase.
Other manufacturing establishments
will share in an additional eight mill
liens of taxation, and under the head
of machinery and equipment vast en-
tries have been made on the tax books
that will add another four millions.

Since 1902 the greatest boosts In

list-was raised more than $4,000, 600
for each years. This year, however,
the list is to receive a boost of more
than $25.OOO,0OO at one fell sweep.
