CITY WILL Get
BIG TAX CUT
Charlottesville Levy viii
Drop About 10 Cents.
R,p Tim es Special

Rp Times Special
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Aug. g.
Taxing officials here predict a de-
crease in the total tax rate for the
city of Charlottesville for 1880 of at
least 10 cents from this years rate.
Most of the decrease is due to the
fact that last year the rate for 1929
was figured on a valuation of $12,-
100000 rather than the $14,000,000
that should have been used. The
miX-up occurred when the valuation
of public utilities was omitted from
the amount certified to the city
council. Consequently there is a
surplus in almost every city fund.
In addition to this the expendi-
lures, according to the preliminary
budgets of the various city depart
mentS, will be less in 1880 than
this year. The decrease will be made
greater by an almost certain drop in
the county rate of from to 7 cents
