Aie.sor Wilcix states that the to-'
tall ai-sessment of Washington;
county this yeai.will be over five !
millions of dollars and excess'
over last year, perhaps, raneinei
from $000,000 to f 800,000. This is !
due to the asseesmrnt, under the!
new law, on . household furniture,
ami the fact lhat theie it this year
no exemption of 1,300 aa formerly.
Last year's assessment was $4,3.r2,
762, net over the exemptions.
Aa a matter of fact the ateeidng
of household furniture and the cut
ting out the exemption it not a
forerunner of heavier taxation, as
the increase will only make the
levy the lower. : Of a surety there
wilt be no reduction of taxation,
at t'.ie state tax is likely to be a
'hummer," iwing to tbe heavy
drain for tbe Portage road aud the
Lewis & Clark exposition. Mr.
Wilcox thinks the houfebold furni
ture will add a half million to the
roll, and, here aud there, we have
more buildings than last year
hence the increase of from six to
eight hundred thousand ' dollars,
expected.
