COUNTY TAX
RATE REDUCED
ON WEDNESDAY
Commissioners Strike Levy And
Reduce Tax Rate Thir-
teen Cents
PRIMARY CAUSE DUE
TO LIQUOR PROFITS

On Wednesday morning last, the
County tax rate was reduced a total
of thirteen cents on the 500 by the
Commissioners who met at Snow Hill
and struck the 1938-1939 fiscal year
tax levy. The new county tax rate is
only Is cents on the $100, as compar-
ed with the former rate of 88 cents.
Primary cause of the large reduc-
ton in the tax rate for the 1938-1939
fiscal year is attributed to the re-
ceipt of $20,210.36 from the Worces-
ter County Liquor Control Board, rep
resenting fifty per cent of the net
liquor profits accruing during the
Liquor Boards fiscal year which clos
ed April 80, 1888.
Had the County received the entire
net liquor profits amounting to $4O,-
42O.76, the County Commissioners safe
ly assert they could have reduced the
county tax rate down to 65 cents on
the $1O0 at their session yesterday.
Worcester County's total assessible
basis this year shows an increase of
$1,020,743. The present taxable bas-
is is $21,155,496 while last year it
was $2O,134,753.
In the new Levy the Commission
ers granted the Board of Education
(Schools) the sum Of $105,769.93, an
amount representing so cents on the
total assessible basis of Worcester
County for the year 1938-1939. This
figure includes $4,000 levied to COM
plete the construction of a new GYM
nasium at the Ocean City high school.
Various other items of beneficial
interest to Worcester County were
levied for by the Commissioners. No
levy was made for mosquito control
work in this county, the Commission
ers having been advised by DR.. E. N.
Cory, State Entomologist, that the
control work had been completed. The
total amount of the 1938-1939 Levy
is $267,121.51.
