DEBTS OF CITY
MAKE BIG HOLE
IN ITS INCOME
INTEREST ALONE, CLAIMED TO
TAKE oNE-THlRD OF THE PRO.
PERTY TAXES.
PROVIDES FOR SIAKING FUND
New Rate viii Bring into the Treas
ury About $4,000 More Than Was
Collected During the Previous
Year-Total Property Values.

| Property values in Columbia are
$127 900 less than they were last year
according to the assessment finally
approved by the city board of equali-
zation. This loss is almost altogether
on personal property, according to the
statement of Judge Ramon the re.
corder. To take care of the loss in
revenue occasioned by the decrease in
the value of the taxable property the
tax rate was increased from $110 on
the 500 to $1.40 on the 500.
Real estate of the city is assessed
for this year at 1921, ,SS9 and the per-
sonal property is assessed at 81 ,442,-
500. The new rate will bring into the
city treasury something more than
$63,000 The rate on the assessment
last year brought into the treasury
around $4,000. SO that the city un-
der the new rate should collect about
$4,000 more than it did last year.
1t is explained, however, that it was
necessary last year to transfer from
other departments about 81 900 in or
der to meet the interest account of the
city, The increased rate has been lev
led for the purpose of creating an in
terest fund sufficient to take care of
the interest on the city's Indebtedness
without having to transfer it from
other accounts.
1t is stated at the city hall that the
ilterest account of the city now re-
quires more than $4,000 to meet it,
which is approximately one-third of
the city's revenues from the tax on
real and personal property. Then, in
addition to the interest account, the
sinking fund must be replenished, so
that4the debts of the city are costing it
a very sizeable hole in its total reve
nne account.

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL SAME DAY
Faculty OF the Latter Not Yet Com
pete But VIII Be Ready for the
Opening Day-some Changes Ex-
peeted in the Course of Study.

Columbia's city schools and the
county high school here will open the
fall term on Monday morning, Septem-
ber II, which will be the second Mon
day. This is the Monday nearest the
fifteenth of the month, made by Gus
tom the day for opening the nine
months terms. The faculty of the
high school has not yet been complet-
ed but Prof. Harris, the superintend-
ent, hopes that this will be accomplish
cd by the time the pupils are summon
ed to their books.
The schools will open as usual with
an interesting program at which there
will be one or two speakers, music,
etc. The public will be expected to
attend the opening. From the present
indications the enrolment in the high
school will probagly exceed that of
last session, although it is doubtful if
there is any increase in the elemental
ry grades, due to the fact that the
scholastic population Of the city has
shown decrease during the past year
While there are many changes made
in the faculty OF the schools Prof. Har-
rs believes that he has been exceed
ingly fortunate in getting the new
teachers and feels sure that the high
standard established by the schools
will be easily maintained. There are
only four other high schools in Ten
nessee which have as high rank as
that of Columbia. 1t with the other
four alone have the grade of AL and
their pupils are admitted on certifi-
cate to any college in the land that ad-
mits pupils without an examination.
While theire are expected to be
some changes made in the course OF
study for the coming session they
have not as yet been announced by
the state department and cannot now
be definitely stated.
