Taxes for the Year 1900.

The total state, county, court house and gravel road repair tax for 1900 is but 64 cents on each one hundred dollars valuation. The state tax remains the same as in previous years, 29§ cents, and the reduction in the total tax over revious years is in the bounty levy, outside the court house tax for paying interest and bonds on the new court house. This tax is 14 cents this year, against 10 cents the three previous years. This increase was necessary to provide a fund to pay off the SIO,OOO maturing in 1903. None of the *152,500 in bonds issued to build the new court house have yet been paid, the above being the first to mature.
