DSOPS nvBMUjjoir A reduction of $5,244,468 in the total assessed valuation of all assessed property in the county for 1932, was recently announced by County Clerk R. D, Woods. The total for 1932 is $40,625,615 as against $45,870,078 for 1931. The reduction was made by the board of review'of McHenry County and approved by the state tax commission. The state tax rate has been set for this year at 50 cents as compared with 39 cents last year. State officials charge the incre^e in the state rate to the fact that Cook county owes the state about $29,000,000 in unpaid back taxes, making the downstate taxpayers carry the burden: However, although the valuation has been lowered, some of the loud, taxes will be lower this year, due to an economy program carried on by the county., The valuations assessed in the various townships in the county for 1932, in comparison with 1931, is shown in the following table of figures: Township 1931 1932 Riley .....$1,181,090 § 992,515 2,686,084 v' . *2,330,854 ..... 1,314,941 •>.*>1,172,891 4,505,260 8,989,700 ,432,245 Marengo Dunham Chemung . , Aldeii Seneca .....
