Total city rate so 90 5
Court House Bonds Due.

EOuTC F7OuSe 6OnOS Oue.
The tax rate this year would be
less but for the fact that $4,000 in
bonds on the court house come due
next year and $4,000 or one half the
poor fund is due to pay off an old def
icit which is due to the high cost of
living and war conditions. The irf-
crease in the city rate is due to the
fact that last year the levy was but
$4,000 and this year it is 100000.
Taxpayers are asked to bear in
mind the fact that the valuation of
the county has been materially in
creased and in the city the valuation
of property is enough higher so that
a man who paid 500 in taxes last yea.
will pay about $117 next year.
