of Hertford will receive $0,765.65 in
the division of State collected in
tangible taxes, it was reported by J.
C. Bethune of the State Board of As
sessment from Raleigh this yteek.
Perquimans County will receive
$5,773.06 of this amount,, while thej
Town of Hertford will receive $992.59.
According to Bethune, intangible
personal property tax collections
showed a slight drop as compared
with the previous year, this being due
to flow market value on stock on
December 31, and a decrease in bank
deposits on which intangible taxes are
collected.
Intangible taxes received by Per
quimans County are estimated in pre
paration of the budget, and divided
into the various funds of the county,
permitting a lesser tax " rate than
would be possible without receipt of
the intangible taxes.
