GIFT PARCELS MUST
sa5S BE PLAINLY MARKED
Only Goods Intended for Personal
Use May Be Sent to Germany
at This Time.

According to an official announce
ment received by Postmaster Fred
Pfaender from the post office depart
ment at Washington, D. c., all gift
parcels sent to Germany by people in
the United States must be plainly
marked Presents for personal use.''
Also the sender should remember to
write the address of the party for whom
the package is intended, as well as his
own return address, so as to avoid
possible loss Of the parcel or unnces-
sary delay in reaching it's destination.
The reason for marking the packages
as noted above is that the German
government prohibits the importa-
ton into that country of any articles
or goods except those intended for
personal use.
Parcels weighing up to and including
II pounds may be sent to any part OF

LOCAL 1920 TAX
RATE 62 MILLS
LEVY BASED ON VALUATION
OF $3,633,596. INCREASE
OVER LAST YEAR,
RATES AND VALUATIONS IN
OTHER MUNICIPALITIES
OF THE COUNTY.

County Auditor Louis G. Vogel has
completed compilation of the tax rate
OF the cities and villages in Brown
county for the year 1920, which are to
be collected in 1921, beginning January
1. In every instance but one there is
an increase in valuation, upon which
the tax rate is based, while in only
two cases the 1920 rate is lower than
that of 1919. Neither the valuation
nor the rate for Comfrey is available
at this time, due to the fact that no
report has been received from the
county auditor of Cottonwood county
relative to this data in that portion
of Consolidated School District No. 40
which is located in our neighboring
county.
Valuation, s3,e33,5se; Rate, e2
as ...., Mills.
The total valuation of real and
personal property in New Ulm, upon
which the 1920 taxes are computed,
aggregates $3,633, 500, compared with
a total valuation of $3,059, LA in 1919.
This is an increase Of over half
million dollars, or, to be exact, $574,
482.
The local tax rate is 62 mills, or one
mill less than last year, when it was
63 mills. The only other municipality
in the county whose tax rate has de-
creased, compared to last year, is the
village of Golden, where decline of
1t mills is recorded.
Valuations Increase.
Springfield is the only municipality
in the county that has a smaller
valuation for 1920 than it had in 1919.
In every other instance more or less
substantial increases have been made,
as will be noted by the following table,
which gives the valuations for 1920
and 1919, together with the increase

such action is taken as result OF the

/ be outlined for the retention OF the

j As the water impounded in the pro-
4 posed reservoirs will generate power,
!: it is planned to develop this feature

While the proposed amendment to
the state Constitution, extending the
term of probate judges from two to
four years, passed with good majority
at the recent general election, the in
cumbents of these offices in Minnesota
will hold office only for two years,
unless reelected in 1922, as the old
law was still in force at the time of their
election. Two years hence the new
tenure of four years will go into effect.
