This announcement was made Monday by Commissioner Robert J Pearsall, head of the tax department of the office of County Clerk Lew A. Hendee. The 1926 tax fate was $12.02 on each $100 valuation. However, in 1926 the rate was based on the as-- sessed valuation placed on property, The main factor in the increase in Waukegan's tax rate is an addition of 14% cents on each $100 for the City of Waukegan. However, the amount which goes into the general fund of the city still remains the same, 67 cents. Unless there is a change in the law the city will never be able to get more than 67 cents out of each $100 which is one--half of the actual or full valuation, while the 1927 rate, "hmmdm'flatnreen- acted last June, is based on the full The rates are computed by the tax zwdmcuxnmdee'- mwdm set by the of review and also the valuations of the state tax com-- mission on railroad. property and eapital stock of corporations.
