Geerusalem - Listen to this !

The taxes which Ann Arbor city will have to pay for the support of state, county and school taxes this next December are way out of sight.

They are as much higher than the first estimates as a scientific kite is above the bottom of the campus well.

The assessed valuation on Ann Arbor is $7,270,143. The board of supervisors have assessed Ann Arbor 's share of the state tax at $24,038.74, and the county tax at $6, 302. The total state taxes for Washtenaw county are $104,510.76 and for the county taxes are $27,400.

Last year the taxes were as follows :

County $ .86

School $5.92

State $1.92

Total December tax $8. 70

This year it will be as follows :

County $. 88

School $6.02

State $3.30 1/2 

Total $10.20 1/2 

Therefore, to ascertain just how much your December taxes are multiply each $1,000 of valuation by $10.20 1/2, and you will reach for the smelling salts.

The total cost per $1,000 of valuation for Ann Arbor for the past year in running the city government was $9.42, so that the people of Ann Arbor will have paid $19.62 1/2 per $1,000 in taxes this year.

George Paul and wife, of Bridgewater, were in the city yesterday, the guests of his nephew, Michael Staebler.
