County tax rates are steadily in
creasing. The rate in Hartford county .
is $3.50, the highest ever known to .
the county. Says the Havre de Grace
Ledger: "The rate is startling, no
doubt, to many taxpayers. but it is /
in order that the business /
Of the county may be carried on sat /
When it is considered .
that the total amount of expenses this
year is estimated at S402,00O as
against S2S0,000 last year, it will be
seen that the high rate was inevitable. /
The demands for new roads, public .
school buildings and Improvements F..
and increased teachers salaries helped .
in large measure to make the increase. /
The levy for public schools alone is .
Sl45, 420, an increase of $51 900 for /
this year"
