Tax Rate Fixed AT SIPS.

Upper Marlboro, Md. March rs. On
an assessable basis of $29, 6l7. 1862, an in
crease of approximately $4,000, 900 more
than the last assessment, the tax rate
for the coming year will be fixed at SIPS
on each $lO0. This Is decrease of 6
cents over the 192O-2l rate. Of this
amount CO.'S cents is for schools and 80
cents for roads. Last year the rate for
schools was 66.6 cents.
A total of $1s5, 1880 is levied for
schools. which is quite reduction in the
estimates submitted by the County Board
of Education. The Commissioners disal-
lowed all increases for teachers, this, it
is believed, being in difference to what
appeared to be a pronounced sentiment
against these increases from the agricul-
tural districts in the lower section of the
county.
