For village purposes the sum of $204.629.02 was levied: As can be seen by the foregoing table, that part of the town of Deer River in school district No. 6 will pay the highest township; tax. This high tax is caused by the fact that the school tax rate in dis- trict No. 6 is 32.40 mills, on account of the new school house erected two years ago, and by reason of the fact the town tax is 29.20, a total of | $1,800 being voted by the board of supervisors for roads and bridges and for the bonds and interest fund. That part of Goodland, in District No.| ll, is next on the list with a rate ef 60.30.

The village of Deer River is second on the list with a rate of 71.10. Like Calumet, the village of. Deer River has a heavy village tax, 27.50 mills, and added to this the school tax in dis- trict No. 6, 32.40 mills, the high rate is easily explained. Grand Rapids has third place with a rate of 61,00 mills, or 7.80 mills less than for last year, the rate at that time being 68.- Grand Rapids’ high rate is caus- ed by the fact the corporation tax rate will be 19.40, the sum of $1,445 being levied for expense of conduct- the affairs of the village. Of this rate, 5 mills is for the water and light plant. In addition there is a 2 mill tax for the public library, 2.50 mills for sinking fund and 6,10 mills for the interest fund, making a total of 30.00 mills for village pur- poses. Added to this the state tax of 3.88 mills, county tax, 7.62 and the school tax of 15.30, gives a total of 60.80 mills. The lowest rate is for the village of Holman, 22 mills, there being no levy made for vil- | lage purposes by that corporation. As can be seen by the foregoing | rates, the average will be about 38 mills. School Levy and Valuation.
