Co. Warrant Payment on Taxes
G. C. Caughell, of the tax collec­
tion department, is in receipt of a
letter from Chas. V. Galloway, chair­
man of the State Tax Commission, in
which it-b held that the county can
receive its own warrants for tex pay­
ments only in the amounts of 6.5 mills
for general road fund warrants. As
a specific illustration that means that
on a piece of property valued at
32,009, the taxpayers could use in the
payment of his taxes thb spring 313
of county general fund warrants.
In Coquille, with its 698 mill levy,
it would moan that a taxpayer could
pay about nine per cent in his taxes
with general fund warrants.
With
genera! road fund warrants he could
pay about 2 per cent of his total tax
bill. *
