On SI.45 Basis, Fioe
Gents Higher Than 1917

The recent announcement from
Austin that the state tax rate was
reduced by five cents, or from 90 TO
50 cents on each 800 valuation. was
dOubly offset when the county COM
missioners met at 4 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon and fixed the county rate
for the year They raised the county
levy by ten cents, or from so to 90
cents This makes the total state and
county rate S1.45, as against $1.40
last year.
The increase in the county levy was
due almost entirely 10 the elimination
Of liquor licenses. which heretofore
replenished the jury funds. A special
levy Of S0-07S5 had TO be made for that
purpose. The levy for the general
fund was % cents and that for road
and bridges was Is cents.

cided on by the respective boards OF
