This rate will, give, if all is collected, $18,191,01, not including railroad taxes. Last year the tax on railroad property collected for county pur poses amounted to $2,399.65. Last year the county tax rate was $5.80, and the total amount of taxes called for was $17,912.98, including railroad taxes. Of this amount $17,000 27 was actually collected for county purposes. Though the increase in tax val uation this year is over $150,000, and there is no tax for road work by chaingang,the tax rate is high er. This is due to the fact that the county is in debt, having borrow ed at least $10,000, more than is legal. In order that this debt be paid, there must be more money, which could be secured only by an increased tax rate. RATES LOWERED^TO BUFFALO. Account Fan-American Exposition.
