INTERESTING
TAX FIGURES

Because of the fact of vast diff
ference of the estimated valuation of
taxable property made by the county
commissioners last March and the
actual valuation as appearing on the
assessment roll after the equalization
of the county and state board, the
rate which was at first set at $2.l0
has been reduced to 81 80. The fol-
lowing figures compiled by H. C.
Jepsen, county clerk, will be of in
terest to the taxpayers of this
county:
The budget of Douglas county, filed
in March, 1917, shows:
Estimated valuation, ----$2,741.1
Amount required from tax 57,565
County rate set in March-----$2.10 10
The actual valuation. of Douglas
county as appearing on the assess
ment roll for the year 1917, after
equalized by county and state board
of equalization, appears to be as fol-
lows:
