REEVES CO. Fairmont, N. Or ' (adr.) County Tax Levy For 1921 Is 70 Cents This Rate on $15,000,000 Will Raise' Approximately Same Amount an 47-, Cent Rate Last Year Raised on! Valuation "1 AAA AAA It I . i . . y vm. ,1 wvu.vvv uui urn Does Not Fall so Heavily on Farm Property Thta Year as Last in Pro . portion to Other Property. At their meeting Monday the coun ty commissioner fixed the tax assess ment for Robeson county for the year 1921 as follows; Roads 07'i Road" interest : 07 Mt Bridges ...,.,.,., 03 Pensions 01 Court House Bonds 01 General' county, fund 10 -General school fund (including 3 cents building fund) 40 Total 70 Poll tax $2.00 This compares with, assessments for 1920 as follows: Roads, .05; road in terest, .05; bridges, .03; pensions, court house bonds and funding bonds, one-third of a cent each, making one cent less than the amount levied this year for pensions and court house bonds, funding bonds not included this year; general county fund, .05; gener al school fund, .28. Total rate last year, 47 cents. Poll tax, 1.35. Last year the 47 cent rate on a valuation of $72,000,000 amounted to $397,936, including $16,520 poll tax and $64,046 special school tax. This year the 70-cent rate On a valuation of $45,000,000, is estimated to raise total taxes of $395,566, esti mating the poll tax and the special school tax as the same as last year. Increased poll tax would bring the total levy to approximately the same, as last year. It is well to bear in mind that while the total tax rate has been increased practically 50 per cent., farm proper ty has been reduced in valuation 45 to 50 per cent., while other property has been reduced 25 to 80 per cent., so that the burden will not fall as heavily on farm property, in propor tion to other property, as last year. In other words, roughly speaking, and taking the county as a whole, where a man paid last year 47 cents on farm property he will pay 35 cents this year, and on other property, where a man paid 47 cents he wfll pay this year 52 cents. These figures of course must be considered merely as approximations, taking" the county as a whole. In in dividual instances the rates would be more in some instances and less in others, depending upon -how much one's property was lowered in the equalization process this year. The 40-cent school rate this year on $45,000,006 valuation is estimated to raise this year $180,000. Adding tc this the amounts raised last year for school purposes from polls, $12,390, dog tax, $3,400, and fines, 6,566, brings the total estimated school revenue this year to $202,356, which is very near what the school revenue was last year.
