The State treasury has begun the 16, and like the Xaronic was never
fiscal year with :t handsome cash 1 seen again She was nf much small
balance ot 62 10,000. It is est i mated
that the receipts from taxes during
the current year will be about ?")(),
000 lens than last year. Then the
tax rate was 43 cents. It is now 41 3
for all purposes. There is a decrease
of 3 cents on tho general property
tax, and an increaso of one third of
a cent lor pensions and 1 for schools.
There is a loss in valuation of prop
erly this year ot abin.it 8-1,000,000.
This is in personal properly, money
on hand and sol vent credits, mainly,!
and not on real prrperty. The
shrinkage in personal property was
not anticipated by tho Legislature
of 1S03, which reduced tho tax rale,
The increased assessment of railway
property is about S4,00O,000, which j
eqtiHliees tho loss by the reduction
of personal properly, leaving the
total taxable values about the same
as last year, 't was naturally ex
pected that there would, as hereto
fore, bean increase in personal prop
erty, but the hard limes have caused j
the falling off.
