the Request of the County
Commissioners.

ployed by the county commissioners
to furnish budget OF estimated ex-
penditure for the county during the
year ending December 81, 1918.
The following interesting informa-
ton Is the result of Mr.. Freuden-
thaps efforts:
''The state tax rate for 1918 is
.5755. which includes teachers pen
sion and physical culture. 1t is based
on a 80 per cent assessment of full
cash values, which will automatically
increase the assessed values in all
counties by 12h per cent over 1917
with a corresponding reduction in
the tax rate unless there be an in
crease in expenditures.
From an examination Of the ex-
pcaditures for the year 1917, for the
various purposes incurred, although
there will be this year the additional
expense of the election, both primary
and general, the expenditures for the
year 1918 should not be any more
than that of 1917.
The Receipts.
''The estimated receipts are from
the following sources.
Licenses, $3.500.00; Fees. 1900
co.; poll taxes, 100000; States pro-
portion of county officers salaries,
$4,000; State school money, H.
10000 taxation. 72.000.00; total,
$93,710.0O;
Estimated expenditures: Admin
istrative expenses, $25,650.00; In
digent fund, 2,16O.0O; roads and
bridges, 5000. 90; bond, interest and
schools, 26,620.00 high school. H.
CSC. 90; road, bond, interest and re-
demption 2,SS0.00; to promote the
agricultural mining and other re-
sources of the county. 10000; Clark
county, on debt, 100000; total,
93,710.00.
II have estimated the total valua-
ton of all real estate, improvements,
personal property and net proceeds
Of mines for the yaar 1918 at 81
10000, and the county tax rate on
this estimated valuation, to raise
$72, 100000, is 81 on each 500 val
uation. This is the reduction of 16
cents in the county rate from that OF
1917, and the state levy being re-
duced .04S cents, makes total re.
duction Of .20S cents.
90 Per Cent Value.
while all property Is supposed t6
be assessed this year at 90 per CEN
! Of its cash value, which is an in
crease Of 121s per cent on tat
assessed value of 1917, still thu
amount of tax to be paid, with this
increase in valuation will not be a!

Z 1.-The Phoebe school district ha'
! outstanding $4,000 in bonds due ant
payable January 2, 1919, and interes
coupons. There will be sufficien
funds in the sinking and interes
funds in June 1918 to meet th'
amount due on bonds and interest
so there will be no occasion to maxi
any levy this year for either fund
This will reduce the tax rate In thi
district 35 cents on special and addi
tional .208 of state and county will
lower the rate .55S from that OF las
year.
