The Taxpayer's View
I noticed in last week's issue, in
this department an article relating to
the night watchman, the advantages
obtained from one and the cost to the
taxpayers of the village. In that ar
ticle the statement was made that it
required only 7 per cent of the taxes
to pay the night watchman. I wish
to take exception to that statement.
When it takes 43 cent levy per
$100.00 on an assessed valuation of
$139,390.00 to raise $600.00 and the
total levy in the village of $1.76 per
$100.00 on the same
