COMMISSIONERS FIX TAX
RATE AT 16 MILLS
The county commissioners held
their regular monthly meeting Tues
day and Wednesday. The most im
portant action taken by the body was
the fixing of the county tax rate.
After considerable deliberation the
body decided to let the levy remain
at 1C mills, the same rate as pre
vailed in 1923. As the tax digest
of 1924 shows a falling off of
$272,805 over last year, it may be
seen that the board members had no
scratch their heads a bit before de
ciding to let the rate stand, as this
means a loss of $4,365.00 in revenue,
when they really need more money
to clear up past due indebtedness.
Phone us your wants for dry
cleaning, pressing and hemstitching.
We call for and deliver promptly.
