LORAIN COUNTY
TAXES INCREASE
COLUMBUS. March 14.—Tax paper*
in Lorain county are now paying 734.7
per cent more In taxes for the upkeep
of their state, city and county governments than they were in the year
1900, and 132 per cent more than they
paid in 1915.
This immense increase in the coat
of local city, county and state governments Is disclosed In figures Just compiled from records of the state tax
commission.
According to these records the sum
of $4,084,342.46 waa assessed agalnat
taxpayers In Lorain county In 1922,
while the amount paid in taxes by
these same people in 1915 was only
$1,760,283.15 and in the year 1900 but
$489,330.06.
The total amount of taxes for atate.
county and city purposes assessed in
1922 from all the taxpayers In tbe entire state waa, according to the atate
tax commission, $224,757.66, ss aginat
only $91,186,002.16 in 1915 and but
$43,797,702.51 ln 1900, an Increase of
115.8 per cent laat year over tbe year
1915 and 411.7 per cent more than In
tbe year 1900. These figures do not
include any special assessment*. Inheritance taxes or delinquent penalties.
It iu interesting to note that more
taxes are collected in Cuyahoga county
alone today than wan gathered ln from
all the counties ln tbe atate in 1900.
Users of electric light and power,
telephone, gaa and street car services
have a very vital interest in tbe Increased sums of taxea now being collected, because the companies supply-
lug them with essential needs now
pay approximately ten pear cent of all
taxes collected in the atate, and these
tuxes of course are reflected in utility
rates.
Advocates of more economy tn government point out thut in the past
seven years and longer there have
been great Increases in the coat ot doing business, but tbey aasert It would
te extremely difficult to And any form
of business the cost of whlcb haa increased so tremendously as the coil
of operating the city, atate and county
governments.
