chase by tho federal government for

sions authorization for the improve
ment of the Illinois River as link

chorus of nays. Among the am l.

The matter Of taxation, while al

Wnlch comparatively few citizens are
informed. 1t is a subject y. htch for
the last few years has been of par
tlcuiar interest in view of the con-
slant increase in taxes, in the face
OF almost as constant assertions that
every economy is being practiced and
tnat taxes are in fact being decrease
ed. or late the argument seems to
nave taken the form of urging upon
municipalities that they emulate. in
connection with municipal expendt-
lures, the economies practiced by the
state ana nation. In this connection
~ Is Undoubtedly true that many of
the citizens do not realize that every
municipality in this State has to nav
a tax to the State and to the county
in which it is located.
Increase In Valuation
the importance of this tax and its
erect upon the municipal rate has
been brought to the attention of the
citizens of Augusta by the recent in
crease in the States valuation for
Augusta. The increase in valuation
for 1927 over that for 1926 is slight
ly in excess of 100000. At the pres
ent time the State tax is seven mills.
Based upon the States valuation and
assuming that the State will impose
the same rate next year, the In
crease of 100000 in valuation will
mean that the city of Augusta will
nave TO pay the State of Maine &c.
10000 more next year than 1t paid
this year.
There are only two ways in which
this increase in tax can be met. First,
by an increase in valuation on the
part Of the city. and second, by an
increase in rate. An increase II,
valuation is liable to result in a fur
ther increase on the part of the State
in its valuation, with the result that
the city would be constantly increas-,
ing its valuation to meet the In
creased demands of the State. The
viciousness of this is apparent. On
the other hand; 1T Is equally appar-+
ent that a constant increase in tax
rate may be fully as disastrous.
AN idea of the increase in the State
tax paid by Augusta may be obtained
from the following, showing the act
tal taxes paid to the State from 1921
to 1926, inclusive:

1.-THE increase in county taxes over
1921 is $3753.73, making total in
crease in State and county taxes $751;
S71.51.
Putting the matter IN another way,
in 1921 the city of Augusta was pay
ing the State and county in round
numbers $4,000 in taxes, whereas in
1925 it paid 100000, and in 1927 on
the new valuation and the present
state tax rate, will have to pay the
state s1O7.333 This increase in and
of itself would amount to an increase
of more than two mills in the tax
rate of the city.
I'm considering the matter Of taxes,
the citizens should appreciate the fact
that they are as vitality interested in
the State and county as they are In
their own community, and that ire
quently an increase in municipal taxes
NAV he due not to the municipality at
ALL but to increased burdens imposed
by State and county"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-12-22

1T will be noted that the city paid
the state IN 1926 s92,117.7s more than
it paid in 1921. Just what this means
to the city is apparent when. it is re-
called that all the Improvements made
in connection with Commercial street
cost the city only about $4,000.
County Tax
THE county tax shows no such In
crease. The taxes paid to the county
from 1921 to 1926 were as follows:
1921 SIS, 420.43
1922 ..............s 15,420.43
