Tax Rates Of Eastern
Shore Counties
Assessments For 1887 Range
From 80 Cents To $1.52
On The 500


County tax rates on the Eastern
Shore this year will vary from 80
cents per 500 In Queen Annes coun-
ty to $1.52 in Kent county.
Four of the nine counties cut their
rates below last years levy and the
rest showed an increase.
The various rates now are: Queen
Anne's, 80 cents; Cecil, 83 cents;
Worcester, SS cents; Talbot, 81; Dor
chester, SLIP; Caroline, $1.23. WI
comico, SLIPS; Somerset, $1.3O, and
Kent, $1.52.
Rates were lowered In Worcester,
Wicomico, Dorchester and Queen
Anne's. In addition to the county
tax rate, State tax of 22A cents is
levied in all the counties.
Cecil county's rate Is s cents over
last years levy. No money is in
cluded In the budget for relief, al
though oldage pensions will be cared
for. Schools will get $4,000 Of the
county TAX COll6cLlOuS.
Kent county's budget forced an In
crease of 80 cents, making the rate
the highest in several years. Nearly
all county rates were cut, in some
cases by as much as one-third, when
the State took over the care of some
roads in 1888. Kent will spend 3d.
900 for general reassessment this
year and $4,000 for roads.
The Queen Annes rate is 10 cents
was made possible by an increased
valuation and by the fact that ninety
nine per cent of the taxes have been
collected. Two-thirds of the county
income will be devoted to schools.
| Talbot's rate was raised 10 cents
to finance the new st. Michaels high
school, a Negro school at Easton, and
a high school at Cordova. OF the
income, $4,000 will be spent for the
new school buildings, with a similar
amount to be levied for the next four
years.
| New schools and budget item for
caring for lateral roads, previously
financed by the state, account for the
16-cent increase in the Caroline coun-
ty rate.
Good tax collections and careful
management were credited for the 10
cent reduction in the Dorchester rate.
This might have been cut more but
$4,000 was included in the levy for
a general reassessment, although the
plan for a reassessment was later
dopped. Schools will take more than
half the Dorchester income, with
$4,000 additional for paying the
interest and principal ON bonds.
Wicomico county raised assessed
valuation by $2,000,OOO, making it
possible to cut cents off last years
levy. Schools, reassessment item and
capital expenditures for school form
the chief expenditures.
| Worcester county received $4,000
from it's liquor dispensary system and
was able to cut it's rate by cents.
The County Commissioners are at
tempting to obtain another $4,000
in profits from the system and nearly
100000 set aside by the system for
working capital
New schools and provision for
more CCC work in Somerset county
raised the rate by 10 cents.
