ONLY HALF OF TAXES NEEDED GO TO COUNTY LION'S SHARE TAKEN BY STATE AMOUNT IS DOUBLED County ExpcnM-n Show Slight Xm create, but State GcU Flmt Chancn At Monry Collected County Ho 921,014 Less Than In 1020 Only SO per cent ot the general county tax this year Is available for use, it Is revealed by figures fur nished by Chief Deputy Sheriff C. T. Terrll. Delinquencies amounted to $58,917, an excess ot $27,526 over tho delinquencies ot last year. One of the chief factors In he 81 uatlon Is the heavy Increase In tho state tax, which is paid in fntl aa the first claim against the funds which the county collects. This year the amount needed tor state purposes was $99,284, as against $14,703 of 1 the year preceding. The tax of $117. 612 for general county purposes was only $6,512 more than Jast year, bat because ot the doubling ot the state tax, a much smaller proportion ot mo n try collected was left for county purposes.

As tho state tax must -be paid in full, this left $7. 709 for the use of the county. Out of $216.,896, the corresponding amount to bo collected this year, $157,979 has been taken in, which with the payment of the state tax leaves $58,696 for the county, $21. 014 less than last year.
