SUMMARY
Expenditures recommended $587,278.53
State and County Assessments
(Estimated-using last year's actual) 50,727.85 $638,006. 38

The above estimates are probably subject to larger corrections than usual this year, due to the fact that no estimate can be arrived at regarding State Assessment.
Assuming the average of all above estimates to be about correct and assuming that our own valuation will hold, the above recom- mended expenditures, will give you a tax rate of $30.20.
