OUR CITY AND SCHOOL TAXES

Raise of 65 Cents for Year: 1917--Thirty-Five in City . dnd Thirty School

Thee tax rate for Ligonier for 1917 was fixed by the city council Thursday evening at $1.40 on the $lOO valuation and a corporation poll tax of 50 cents. -

The rate last year was $1.05, but the expenditures have exceeded the receipts about 810,000 on account of extraordinary outlay for the waterworks, street improvement and firefighting equipment. o The assessed valuation of ' Ligonier is approximately $2,000,000 and the tax rate fixed by the council on this appraisement will yield $25,000 for 1917. .

The ordinance making. the appropriations for the differeat municipal departments for next year 1917 provides the following amounts: L

The income trom saloons and other licenses amount to $1,600 making the total income of the city about $26,600. An ordinance was enacted empowering the city clerk and-treasurer to sell ten city warrants of $l,OOO each as the money may be needed to make up a deficit and meet current expenses until Jan. 1, 1017, . . The city tax levy is iaid as follows: Ulty Tevenue5.............. ... $1.20 Bomd fund . ...... ... i a 0 Dibsary e o 0 . o o e

The Ligonier school board has fixed the levy for school purposes at $1.40 on the $lOO valuation as against $l.lO last year. This increased levy was necessary to cover deficits hanging over from sev" eral previous years. and the board felt it a duty to make the levy sufficient to cover current expenses and meet deficits without the necessity of borrowing money from time to time. - The total tax increase for the school city and the municipal corporation is 65 cents on the $lOO valuation. - : i . It is believed that the reduction in the state levy which will make the total taxes of 1917 but little higher than was paid in 1916. The full council was present when Mayor Schutt called the body to orner Thursday night including Clerk Jeanneret, City Attorney Bothwell and acting Chief of Police Engle. Policeman Engle called attention to the practice of tobacco chéwers expectorating on the sidewalks and wanted to learn if anything might be done to stop it. He was informed that there is no ordinance to make it a misdemeanor to spit any where in Ligonier. At his own suggestion Officer Engle was empowered to mark off lines governing the parking of automobiles on Cavin street. , : .

It was suggested that signs be placed at streets leading into the city notifying auto drivers regarding the city ordinance fixing a penalty for operating motor vehicles with open mufflers within the city limits. John Baker called the attention of the council to the unsanitary condition of outside toilets on Albany street near Miller and he was advised to notify Health Officer Wineburg. D. J. Lowe petitioned the council to cause to be discontinued the operation of lunch stands on the streets and ‘the city marshal was notified to close all such places obstructing traffic on the streets. : !

Sampson Lung called attention to the bad condition of the sewer near his residence. Every time there is a heavy rain the: refuse backs up and floods his cellar. “The street commissioner, was notified to look after the matter. ; .

The council paid Street Commissioner Banta a high compliment for his efficiency and as .a testimonial voted to make his salary in future 875 a month. : Ly

The street committee was empowered to employ a mah to take %¥he place of Reuben Deeter as a street cleaner and later the committee named John Baker at $l5 a week, the same salary paid Mr. Deeter. Mr. Baker began his duties Friday, having purchased Mr. Deeter’s tools and horse and wagon. =
