WHAT WOULD BE THE TAX PAID
BY AN OWNER OF PROP
ERTY, ASSESSED AT $1O002

A mere calculation will at once
show that a person, who Is assessed
with $1,000 in property, would have 70
pay an additional tax of only S3,while
the man assessed with Sl00 worth Of
property would have to pay an adj
ditional tax Of thirty cents.
Of course every tax payer knows
that only 100000 Of bonds have been
authorized ia the First District and
$4,000 in the fourth Hence about
one-third Of the 100000 win be on
the market the FIRST year, with part
retired before the next issue So the
tax levy dwindles into a small matter
as compared with benefits resulting.
To issue $500, 900 every district would
have to issue bonds to reach the total
each district issuing only such amount
as its taxable values permit.
II Is unfortunate that the County
is acting by districts. The counties
South Of Claiborne, Jefferson alone
excepted, are acting ss a unit. Those
that heretofore acted BY districts arc
now agreeing that so doing was q
mistake. The Writer trusts the good
sense 0t our people to get into an
harmonioud whole. Let no possible
jealousies grow up. The First Dis
trict carries the largest assessment

ate with less fortunate quarters o.

Last Sunday morning the auto Of

badly broken that it was necessary to
kill him. We have been unable to

TAXIATI0N. HOW MUCH
CREASED.

Assessed values Of real estate and
personal property, for the last year,
was, in round numbers, $4,666,O00
Assessed values, 300, have Increased,
annually, for the last three years or
more, from 100000 to 100000, that
too, with the worst roads IN the his
tory Of the county. A levy Of a frac-
tion over Six mills will raise the $780,
600 to be paid the first year, while a
less rate viii raise each succeeding an
nual payment Now, 3 mills are be-
ing levied annually for public roads.
This the taxpayer is paying without
any corresponding benefit. Hence he
win only have an additional mill
tax to pay to meet serial bonds and
interest on all, while the saving, as
shown in article number three pub
lished IN the ReVeille, shows the road
users and taxpayers will, in fact, be
benefited on a conservative reckoning
to extent Of $4,000.
