March, 1913, however, totaled $780,

Sl.670,IT2.64 was levied, and with Jan
uary collections more than one-third
OF this amount already is in, a condi-
tion OF affairs which must be consid-
cred very favorable in the light OF
1917 crop failures in many parts Of
the state.
one OF the big items in March col
lections was $131, 4Ss.ss from the reg

It is probable that the bulk OF this
$4,000 tons OF coal Will come from

Illinois and Indiana coal. North Da-

replaced $4,000 tons OF anthracite and
