tax COLLECTIONS Tor NOble
county totalled $110,599, a
gain of 4.6 percent over the
same period of 1852.
These are among the sales tax
facts released by Tracy in a
summary telling the story of the
prepaid consumers receipts that
make almost every Ohioan a
stamp collector.
One billion seven hundred
and twenty-siX million individ-
ual stamps were sold in denomi-
nations of from one cent to SIS
in the entire state during the
fiscal year.
Grand total receipts from pre-
paid sales tax stamps for the
state amounted to $180, ,741 ,801,
an increase of 1913 percent over
the previous year.
Counting eight million resi-
dents for Ohio, the amount per
capita of sales tax stamps pur-
chased was $23.50.
Calculating the value of the
goods represented by these
transactions Tracy figured that
Ohioans spent approximately
Sc, ,266, ,666,666 for items subject
to the sales tax during the last
year.
Four hundred and fifty agcn-
cies took care of sales of stamps
to 225,000 vendors.
Although most persons threw
their stamps away, 60,403 organ
izations and individuals in
fiscal 1858 applied for redemp-
tions which totalled $2,855,66G
when paid by the Treasurer OF
State.

being filed by sheep owners. The
public funds in the general fund
are not required for the pur-
pose of which they were origin
ally appropriated.
