TO ASSESS PROPERTY
At ACTUAL VALUE

Until the State Board of Equaliza-
ton determines the assessment to be
made on all taxable property, real,
personal and merchants, both the
County and City Assessors will assess
the property at full value. Then when
the decision of the State Board has
been made regarding the valuation
it will enable the assessors to lower
the assessment.
The city merchants taxes are collect
ed the first Of July and the County
Board of equalization does not meet
until in September. All merchants
property is assessed and taxes col
lccted the same year. But in real and
personal property, the assessment is
made one year and the taxes collected
the next.
A peculiar situation exists in Mex
leo relative to the City Merchants
tax. The assessment is made and
taxes is collected the same year. The
collection is made in July. Since the
County Board of Equalization and not
the State Board, fixes the valuation
on city merchants property and since
The County Board does not meet until
in September, the city merchants as
scssmcnt will have ben made and the
taxes collected before the board meets.
1t is then impossible for the Board to
either raise or lower the assessment.
The city may loose a great deal of
money for this reason or the merch-
ants may pay more than he would
otherwise.
l Usually the assessor bases his as
sessmcnt on the valuation placed by
the State Board on banks as does the
county board. In this way he plays
safe. Should the State Board fail to
report before July first there is moth
ing LETT for the Collector to do but
collect the taxes On the property which
will have been assessed at full value.
However it is almost a certainty that
the State Board will fix the valuation
and so report before July, thus en-
abling the, city merchants valuation
to he lowered to the proper per cent.
The State Board of Equalization is
required to meet sometime in Febru-
airy and is supposed to have fixed the
valuation and to make the report be-
fore the first of May. This gives the
assessor TING to make the correct
assessment and the collector to collect
the taxes accordingly.
On account of the unsettled condi-
ton and misunderstanding regarding
the taxes of Missouri, the State Board
has not made its report. So there is
nothing left for the assessors to do
but assess the property at full value.
The valuation may be lowered then,

These were: Misses leila Brown,
Matte Ward, Pauline Craddock and
Hermie Gibbs.
1t is not known at present just what
subjects the newly elected High School

the grade teachers will be assigned.
In addition to electing the above
named teachers Miss Kitty TurIey
was transferred from the Central
School to the Mcmillan High School.
The resignation of ]. D. Harrell, c.
F. Riddle and Miss Abbie Elwang. who

University of Missouri. Riddle goes
to Montgomery City to teach and Miss
Elwang to Columbia.

visibility of instituting an agricul-
tural department in Mcmillan, but no
definite action has been taken in re-

WILL GET EXPRESSION
OF COUNTY, REGARDING
ROADS AND BOND ISSUE

A number of Mexico and good road
enthusiasts met in the chamber of
commerce rooms Friday morning to
discuss the matter of hard surfaced
roads for Audrain county.
1t was decided at this meeting to
arrange speaking dates in all of the
voting precincts of the county to as
certain the feeling of the people in
these communities regarding a hard
surfaced road and road bond issue for
the county.
1t is the desire of these men to find
out what the people of Audrain want
in roads and whether they want any
thing or not.
Judge Alex Garter who has just re-
turned from a trip to jefferson City
was present at the meeting and is very
enthusiastic as. usual, for hard sur
faced roads in this county.
At Bean Greek Tuesday night a
meeting was held and the citizens ir
that community raised $4,000 fol
road purposes. It's an easy thing tc
raise road money when a fellow rcally
wants the road.
The road meetings will be startci
the first of next week.
