Gently come to the attention Of the
Ypsilanti Taxpayers Association.
They relate TO two pieces, one of
which is in Ypsilanti and the other
in Ann Arbor. The house in Ypsi-
lanti is assessed at $4,000 and the
city tax is $71.90. The house in Ann
Arbor is valued at $500 and the
city tax is sS247. The Ypsilanti tax
is more than double the Ann Arbor
tax. II is to be distinctly under
stood that the Ypsilanti tax figure
is exclusive OF the school tax and
school debt tax. Doubtless, the fig
ures are capable Of explanation on
some other ground than misman-
agement. But they are curious and
many would welcome an explana-
