As regards the figures given as the assessed value of my own land I arrived at that by calculation. The Tax Uollector sent me a state ment of .my taxes. The only infor mation friven in the statement was 215 acres $174.70. I understand that the' rate is $2.05 per hundred, this for all Duraoses. If this is cor- rant- thp aaapnapH vnlnp wnillH hflVP. to be $8,621.50 in order to bring the i. il l H Tl taxes up to me aoove ngure, ii nie assessed value is $6,850.00 as stated hv Mr. Cahacan. rav taxes should he $140(4?,yiiptf$rl74.70. There may be something '.special added to my taxes that is no,t included in ine .uo rate. 'Ihe.'. fai 1 statement does not show that tMs'iS the case. I did not mean to convey the idea that Mr. Redmon ,was not paying enough tax, as I do think that he is payin? an that his land will stand, and more than his share wnen compared wnn the figures' given me on the Tiieb nlnop anH mnrp than the nroductivc value of the land will justify.
