POSSIBLE TAX
RATE IS S2.12,
AUDITOR FINDS
1885 Fund and 1915 VAL
uation Would Give This
Figure-Increase Likely.

Richmond taxpayers will have to
pay s2-12 on each $1oo worth Of prop
erty in order to raise the same amount
Of money from Richmond taxes as
was raised last year. according to an
estimate made Thursday by the county
auditors Office.
This does not signify, however, that
the city's rate for next year will be
the above amount, as 1t is probable
that the city and school corporations
will ask for an increased appropria-
tion from the state tax commission,
which if granted, will mean that the
city levy will be increased.
The tax rate, however, will be con-
siderably lower this year than last,
according to the auditor. Last year 8
rate was $3.50 on each S100. The es-
innate made by the auditor was based
on the figures of the county board of
review, and the returns made by the
state tax commission.
Commissioner to Visit
Strange n. Cragun, of the state tax
commission, will visit the county au.
ditors Office next Wednesday and will
take up the matter of corporation as.
easements with incorporated compa
nies of the county.
No appeals have been made to the
state tax board by Wayne county cor
porations, as far as is known, but sew
eral matters will be adjusted by the
commissioner during his visit here.
Certificates of assessments have
been mailed to the township trustees
CT the county, to allow them to begin
the work of making their levies fol
| the next year.
In some cases changes in the as
sessments are anticipated, but the Ger
! tifcates mailed Thursday will allow
some of the trustees to work on theil
| levies.

cate attached to the second perma-
rent courtmartial, who Investigated
the incident connected with the de-
parture OF the Germans from Yer

crowd by sticking out their tongues
at spectators and shouting ''Hochs,"
