rate Of 60 cents on the 800. II the
Levy Court should fix The rate at %
cents. the owner Of a small property
wlll probably pay less taxes than he
did formerly. For instance, under the
old system a house which was assess
ed for 1920 by the City Board OF As
,sessment would be assessed for some
where around $1,000 in the county
branch. Under the new county plan TINS
house would be raised to practically
the same figure as in the city. Under
the present tax rate the tax on sioOV az
% cents would be $3.50. Under the new
plan the property at $500 would pay
on a 65-cent rate $50. This would
mean considerable saving to the prep
