Usual Free Lunch at Noon Terms of Sale: All sums of $10.00 and under, cash; over that amount ^a credit of one year's time will Be given on good bankable note* bearing interest at the [Harvard Herald] Taxes will be considerably higher in McHenry county than they were a year ago, the noticeable increase being in the state levy that affects every town and in cities like Harvard, Woodstock and Marengo the increase is seen in corporation and school tax levies. The total tax to be collected in the town of Chemung will reach $70,790.- 15, but of this sum $10,103.85 is chargcable to railroad ts'£~~=p- phone and public service corporations, so that the sum individuals and firms will be called on to pay will be $60,- 686.30. Alden will be called on to pay a total of $17,165.16, but by deducting the railroad, telegraph ahd telephone apportionment, the sum will be $13,- 886.86. The Hartland tax will total $15,657.76 and that of Seneca ,$14,- 353.14. The increase in the town of Che­ mung is a slight one in its road and bridge levy; a more pronounced ad­ vance in the corporation tax due to a large extent by reason of a levy for a garbage system In the city of Harvard, and a reduction in the school rate. The rate of levy for the town of Chemung for the years 1914 and 1915 for the various purposes is given below: 1914 1915 State 48 County 34 Town 8 Road and Bridge 59 Corporation 144 School 188 In the town of Dorr the increase is in its road. and bridge levy and a boost from 172 to 204 in its school, while its corporation rate remains the same as last year, the rate being 172, or six abov^ the levy of Harvard. Marengo shows slight increases in its road and bridge and corporation tax, the latter being 121 against 112 a year ago, while its road and bridge levy is 61 instead of 59 as the rate last year. Figuring on a basis of the taxing rates applicable in the three cities of Harvard, Marengo and Woodstock and using $3,000 as the valuation for the same, that is assuming that a resident of the three cities named owns a home in either city worth $3,000, he will be obliged to pay an annual tax of $50.90 if a resident of Harvard; $51.70 if he lives at Woodstock and $42.70 il his home is at Marengo. The tax books are nearing comple­ tion, County Clerk Still being delayed largely on account of having to -wait for rates in rural school districts that touch along the Boone county lino, the Boone county clerk not yet having completed his part of the distribution. An extra force of help has been on the job for several weeks getting the books in readiness, Mrs. Nettie Burg­ er Baccus having been added within the last ten days. During a part of the rush period, Grove Chittenden, the deputy clerk, has been ill with the grip and for a day or two Mr. Still has been wrestling with the malady, but he has been on deck and working as hard as Jess Cadwejl, the never- quitting janitor, who declares he has never seen a little fellow who can work like Guy Still. Jan. 20 is the date the county clerk has set for having the books ready to turn over to the tax collectors, but he jtnay be able to have them ready a day or two earlier, which was the case a year ago, when Jan. 20 was the time set. • We fill orders for dress patterns appearing in the Daily News or Jour­ nal. < John Stoffel.
