TAXES NO HIGHER
THAN YEARS AGO

Ten years ago Blackfoot was a
town Of 2,O22, while in 1920 the gov
ernment census gave us 4,S22 and
this year a new census was taken
giving to Blackfoot 5,285.
In the past ten years Blackfoot
has more than doubled in population
and is only beginning to grow. a rec
ord for ten years TO be proud of.
Now let us study the staid old
question Of taxation. In 19O9-1O a
levy of 20 mills was made for all
purposes producing the sum of $19,-
646.71. Today but four mills have
been added (Which inludes two mills
for the library alone) and will raise
$55,S6S.52. Taxes today in the city
OF Blackfoot are on a par with taxes
OF ten years ago, a truly wonderful
record The growth of the City has
ton. Today the city is on cash
basis and warrants are cashed al par
any place within the city.
Today we have altogether in paw
ing $500, 100000, and with the recent
water plant purchase over 5000, 900
is the bonded Indebtedness, which in
terest is being taken care of through
the tax levy as we'll as general ex-
penses, Fire department mainten-
ance, sewer maintenance and library
maintenance.
We ask you in all fairness il his
is not city to be proud of. We have
no knockers.
