The Ferry Florida Keys was
launched this afternoon in Jack
sonville, it is presumed. Accord
ing to a telegram received by the
county commissioners yesterday,
the second Oversee ferry was to
leave the ways this afternoon. or
yesterday. Since no word has
been received of changes in the
plans the assumption is that the
vessel is now on the water and
preparations are being made to
put it in service.

an individual in the $1,000 and un-
der group, the predominant class OF

$28 average of 1896. The average
net income of The taxpayers In the

on the basis of 1885 returns filed
last year. Thus, the average rate OF
tax on net income was about Ill
per cent.
Taking married man, with one
child and an income of $500 as an
average taxpayer, this Is the way

figured his income tax return this
