expenses and 10c for bonded indebt-

Or, secondly, the new quadrup-
led valuations could be used and the
tax reduced to 25 percent of the old
rate. This is the course pursued by
the Board, as it set the new rate at
6.25c per $100, meaning the tax tab
for Langford Creek property owners
will remain virtually the same as last
year.
Clarksville City
Those paying taxes to the City of
Clarksville will notice the least
change of all. The Board of Equaliza-
tion has met and the tax rate remains
unchanged from that in effect last
year, 60c per $100.
City tax officials expect to pick
up appreciable increases as new
homes and structures are added to
the tax roll and believe this will be

hard-working youth with
much perseverance, recalling
the times that he walked
back and forth from Dimple
to work in Athas Confection-

Clarksville square.
"But he got soft later
on,” a friend laughingly re-
collects, "and got him a
