COUNTY
TAX Rate IS
SET At Sl.5O
Increase of a. Cents
Necessary to Carry
Road Bonds Sold
During Past Year

Cameron county's tax rate this
year will be Sl.50, as compared with
Sl06 for 1927 and s1.10 for 1926,
County Judge o. c. Daney announced
Monday.
The increase of 81 cents over last
year is due TO the issuance Of series
y and c road bonds, amounting to
s2o0,006,' Judge Dancy said.
The county judge called attention
70 the fact the state rate is lowered
3 cents. Cameron county. under the
flood control remission receives the
adyalorem tax in excess Of 10 cents.
This will give the county only II
cents this year IS against IS cents
in 1927.
The only increase comes in fl
nancing the road program. as the
rate for all purposes other than car
rying the road bonds. will be the
same as last years. OF the $3.50,
GO cents is for the first S3,oOO,000
Of road bonds. s cents for the road
bonds voted in 1922; Is cents for road
bonds voted in 1919 and 1920. and IS
cent for road and bridge mainten-
ance, making a total Of Si.Ol for
roads alone. This leaves 10 cents
Of the rate for the jury fund, public
improvements, etc. The general fund
is % cents, and the public improve
ment fun. incldding courthouse and
jail is l6 l-2 cents. The county also
has a levee maintenance tax Of ;
cents, and a tax OF / cent 20 supple
ment the sttae's donation for flood
control.
The prediction was made BY the
county judge that Cameron county
could issue the entire S~6,OO0,0OO Of
road bonds and keen the tax rate
within $500 and without increasing
valuations except in those sections
receiving road benefits.
Gas values increase the cost Of car
rying these road bonds will de-
crease" the county judge said. i
believe the remaining 100000 can
be issued at a rate Of 204 cents on
each million. This would make a
county rate Of $500, but | am sure
that mounting valuations will cut
this down By 1880 so the total tax
will not exceed S1.95 or $780,"
In commenting upon drainage and
other taxes the county judge said:
"The county commissioners levy
the tax for Drainage District No. 3,
the other three drainage districts
have their own tax officers. The tax
this year is so cents for maintenance.
25 cents for interest and sinking
fund. When this district was orig
inally created. il took $500 for the
interest and sinking fund alone. The
bonds originally issued were s450.000.
They have been cut down now so on
Oct. 10 the outstanding bonds will

Paddy Mclver, Si Mcintosh and Thomas Mckay. They shipped over 300 tons during the season, and the mine, since it was opened in 1920, has produced some l.50O tons, averaging about 300 ounces in silver and 65 to 75 per cent i'll lead. The Shamrock is being worked again by the same leasers as last year, and deveopment work reveals more fine ore and promise of an additional heavy shipment this winter.
