CITY COUNCIL MAKING
UP ANNUAL BUDGET

The tax rate of the city will be one
fourth per cent less in 1917 than for
1916. The rate of taxation fixed last
.O3. This is due in part to increased
valuation of property for assessment
and to the large increase in the
amount which will come to the city
from the income tax. This year it will
amount to about $4,000. The 3 per
cent will raise S61, 666.73 With the
income tax the council will have about
$4,000, but $4,000 goes to the school
fund and there are 5000 of bonds and
interest to pay in 1913.
The assessed valuation of the city is
So, O55,5 91. The county assessment
for the city, on which state, county,
road bridge, state special and supt. of
schools taxes are levied is $2,2S9, 124
or $751; .406 more than last year, when
is was $2.1O7.71S Why the city and
county valuation should be so widely
at variance is a matter the council has
been unable to solve.
Working on the Budget
The council met Wednesday and be-
gan work on the budget for 1913. The
school board asked for $27, 1000 The
city in the current conduct of business
needs obout $4,000. There were num-
