new CITY TAX RATE
NOT BASED UPON
LARGER VALUATION

Augusta's new decrease in tar rate
from - mills to II mills Is not due to
an increased valuation. but rather to
real determination on the part Of
the present. city government to keep
within the scope Of appropriations ana
accomplish the maximum Of results,
according to . statement made by
Mayor Mclean yesterday.
Every year. as explained by the may
OF assuming . normal city growth,
there 10 slight increase in the yaIu-
alton. Were this not the fact II would.
OF course, be impossible to take care
OF additional expense occasioned by ac-
cepting new streets, building new
sidewalks and adding lights in the
newly Quilt up areas. The appropria-
lions have been made UP on an an.
ucipated increase Of only $4,000 in the
valuation and obviously would not take
care Of the loss in revenue incurred
by the decrease in the tax rate.
AS will be noted by the approprfa-
lions passed at the Monday evening
meeting Of the city government, a
large amount Of permanent improve
ments IL planned, the largest single ex-
penditure being that in connection with
the improvements to be made on Com
mercial street. estimated at $4,000.
Notwithstanding the large amount of
contemplated improvements. all Of
which is planned to be paid for from
out the current tax rate, 1t was felt
that something should be done, IL pos
sible, in the line Of decreasing the tax
rate. The latter was proposed after a
very careful and steady investigation
on the part Of the finance committee
and is to be accomplished by each de-
partment living strictly within it's APP
preparation. In other words, the de-
crease in the tax rate represents a real
determination on the part Of the city
government to get the maximum Of re-
suits on a decreasing rather than an
increasing tax rate.
