In our last Issue we compared the.
school tax paid In North Platto pen
$1,000 assessed valuation with that
paid In other places of this size upon
tho same valuation. It showed that
North Platte paid more than any of
the cities of, a Inrgor population nnd
more, than nny of tho next cities just
bolow It in population. Some have
complained that this is not a fair com
parison and so wo are taking another
comparison for study In this issue.
"Wo aro going to tako tho per capita
paid In school taxes. In North Platto
tho total amount of school' tax paid
divided by the population gives ?1S.50
which is called tho per capita school
tax. In tho four cities in Nebraska
having a larger population than North
Platto tho per capita school tax was
as follows:
Omaha $12.00
Lincoln $12.42
Grand Island $13.30
Hastings $12.80
North Platto $18.50
In the four cities Just smaller than
North Platte in populaton the same
figures aro:
North Platte $18.50
Beatrice $14.20
Fremont $10.00
Norfolk $15.20
Kearney $13.50
It Is thus seen that North Platte
per capita tax Is considerably above
that of tho citios both larger and
smaller. These figures arc for tho
school general fund only and aro sent
out by tho Department of Fiance of
tho State of Nebraska.
