HITS US WITH A 70
PER CENT TAX SLAP
THE STATE TAX COMMISSION
RAISES ELY TAX RATE
TWENTY PER CENT.

An increase of twenty per cent
in the assessed real estate valuation
Of Ely, Virginia, Eveleth and BIZ
wabik has been ordered by the Min
nesota State Tax Commission and
q ten per cent increase on the
property of Aurora and Proctor.
The increase applies to structures
and improvements as well es LAND,
but not to unmined iron ore and
is based on the data in the hands
Of the commission, so they state,
regarding transfers of real estate
and general information.
The City Council Of this city
feels that an injustice is being done
the local taxpayers in the raise. It
las been figured that, taking the
year 1920 as a high mark IN the
sale Of property in this city, and
the increase of about one per cent
in the price since then, the COM
mission has erred in placing an ar
bitrary increase of 20 per cent.
In Virginia the increased tax as
sessment will affect property valued
at $2,841,509. The assessed valua-
ton Of the city of Virginia has
been placed at SIS, 433,03S, of
which 1912, 691, 439, classed under
unmined ore, is not included under
the increase. Eveleth property
which comes under the increase is
valued at $823,816. The assessed
valuation is S16,607,574, Of which
S15,774,758 is unmined ore.
Unmined ore in Ely has an asses
sed valuation of s6,101,642, while
the total assessed valuation has
haan nIaca1 az S6 GOT A60 The On
per cent increase applies to $780,
900. Biwabik total assessed yalua-
ton is $3,23S,81.-, of which 49,
03s,292 is the assessed valuation
placed on unmined ore. The in
crease will affect S200,519.
Ten per cent increases have been
placed against real property valued
at $3.50 ,349 in Aurora, and $397,-
041 in Proctor. The total assessed
valuation in Aurora has been
placed at $4,000, 1886, which includes
81 ,061 ,037 in unmined ore. There
is no unmined ore at Proctor.

Planets and stars.

1t Is easy to distinguish a planet
from a star because a star wrinkles
and a planet never does except when
It IS near the horizon. Also, planets
are brighter. They are nearer the
earth and their light is reflected to US
like the moon. Stars are fixed bodies
outside our solar system.
