This seemingly paradoxical fact results from the drop of $1,453,913 in real estate assessments for Adams county as made this fall by the 1 assessors.

With taxes for 1934 cut from $167,000 to $150,000, the commisioners announced that their budget for the coming year must necessarily be decreased, and slashes in annual appropriations all along the line are expected. While the general county tax for 1934 is expected to yield $150,720.76, the half-mill sinking fund levy will yield the county $8,376.78. This money is used to pay interest on outstanding bonds and loans and to provide for the retirement of such obligations. HAMILTON HERDS BEING TESTED The annual: tuberculosis eradication.
