Twelfth Year Thursday Lampasas, Texas, February 10, 1916] . Thursday Number 290
State and County Taxes Collected.
/'
{
From the office of the tax col-
lector of the county the records
show that Lampasas county pays
its full share of the taxes. The
total paid into the collector’s
hands since a settlement with the
state in April 1915, amounts to
the sum of $83,285.40, and of this
$43,260.52 remains in the county
to bear the general expenses of-
the courts, to apply on the roads
and bridges, schools and various
purposes.
The taxable values this year
run to over seven million dollars,
and the total tax rate was $1 10
on each $100 valuation. It has
only been about thirty years
since this county boasted of hav-
ing a taxable value of a little
more than three million dollars.
With these figures staring us in
the face there are people here
who claim there has been no
progress, no advancement, and
that things were better as they
were thirty years ago than they
are now.
The Leader is pleased to see
such evidences of gi owth and
prosperity. It shows progress.
Thousands of acres of land have
been put under cultivation in the
thirty years, and many thousand
dollars have been invested in
substantial improvements in the
city and county. Good homes
are now to be seen in all direc-
tions, and the business houses are
substantial and permanent in
character, while cattle, horses,
sheep, hogs, poultry and other
stock are worth very much more
under the present conditions than
they were at the former time
mentioned.
A few more years of develop-
ment and Lampasas county will
join in that great number which
are already paying to the state
and county a sum of one hun-
dred thousand dollars per year
for the public good.
