$40 This Year.
Reductions Come in County,
State, School District and
Some Town Levies.

taxpayer who last year paid 500
in taxes, will this year be billed
for about $40, it was stated this
week by Stephen Weber, deputy

$50 per $500 while in some it will
be less.
There has been a marked reduc-
ton in both county and general
school taxes, while state levies have
also dropped. Several Incorporated
sections show cuts, a. do virtually
