H.

J. In 1885 the deceased came to Bismarck to join his sons, P. N. and W. HL. Webb, Jr, who had settled here in 1883 and 1484, 'T'wenty years ago the deceased retired from active business, W. H. Webb, Sr., was the father of five children, Mrs; Fred Fryer, Throop, Pa.; Philip B. and W. H. Webb, Jr., Mrs. Norman Gray of Two Harbors, Minn., who arrived in Bis- murck several days ago, and Mrs, Bradley C. Marks. Mrs. Fryer is ill at her home in Pennsylvania, and will be unable to come to Bismarck for the funeral. Hale and hearty, a maker of friends, and one who enjoyed the company of his fellows, W. H. Webb, Sr., was among the best known of the older citizens of Bismarck. He was as ac- tive and alert as many a man a gen- eration his junior, he kept in touch with the development of his city, and he was idnsttot and respected by all who knew him. His death marks the passing of a good citizen whose loss will be generally mourned. 296 PCT.

Quoting the official statement of (Mr. Baker, “The average assessed val nation of acre property for the state in 1918 was $5.48 per acre, or $87¢ per quarter section. Assuming that land will be raised from a 30 per cent valuation to a 100 per cent valuation, the average assessed valuation in 1919 will be $2,923 per quarter sec- tion. In 1918 the state levy was 43 mills and the state tax on an average quarter section was $3.77; in 1919 the probable state levy will be 3.5 mills Cneluding provisions wor interest and sinking funds). which will mean a state tax of $10.23 per quarter’ sec- tion, or an increase of $6.46.” Mr. Baker thus admits an increase | of 171 per cent in the state tax burden | upon acre property. It will be noted, however, that he does not include in thig total tax, the state hail tax of 3e acré or $4.80 per quarter sec: tion. Adding this, we get a total tax of $16.03 per quarter section, an in- crease of $11,06 or 296 per cent. waile the to- 296 ‘per cent on acre. prop- messures the shifting of the ax parsed from al to_acre \to keep the home fire }can you expect county, efty and dis-: able to ¢ j count of the war, gr | material and plans a ,| athletics will hold considerable atten- iG i } } | | | | Y’ mightn’t believe it, but Lady Decies and her three children actually go into the park of Leixlip castle, Rngland, and gather fuel burning.
