1010 STATE TAXES
HIGHER THAN 1091
Your state taxes for 1919 will be
four mills on a full 100 per cent. as
sessment. It will be apportioned as
follows: 'Two mills for state pur
poses, 1 1-2 mills for schools and 1-2
mill for Confederate veterans.
If you happen to live in Orleans
parish, two mills must be added for
the Orleans Levee Board special tax.
making the total six mills state tax
in Orleans parish. Your 1918 state
taxes were nine mills on a 50 per
cent basis, seven mills state tax and
two mills levee.
Pay More State Taxes.
The Orleans payer will pay more
state taxes in 1919 than he did in
1918. Here is how it will work out:
Suppose your asse:-~ment was
$4.000 in 1918. You paid nine
mills on $2,000. the 50 per cent as
sessment, or $18. This year you
will pay six mills on the full $4,000,
and your contribution to the state
tax collector will be $24, $6 more
than in 1918.
This has nothing to do with the
city rate, which the past year was
22 mills on a 75 per cent basis.
Editorial Note--My Gawd. can
this be possible?

IHEL,LEIL LE NOTES. I
{o,
There is a scarcity of teachers in
Beleville at the present time. Owing 0
to Miss Florence Burgis departure for i
France, her place has been filled by n
Miss Sutton. While Miss Giblin is i
on a leave of absence, her place is cl
filled by Miss Claire Wilson, of our e
town. I T
The Red Cross Membership is 1001f
per cent. The children have been
very good in living up to their promises
and pledges made during this drive.
Through Mr. Lindsay, the children a
can purchase Thrift Stamps from the (
government. This is the best gilt-edge p
savings investment ever offered. The y
parents of these children are urged a
to teach them to save in this manner. e
Miss Mauret, assistant physical di- ii
rector of the schools, visited the school
t last week and heartily approved of f
I the work done by the school. Miss c
n Le Blanc. drawing supervisor, also '
was a visitor to the school last week, a
e she also being well pleased with the 1
" children's work.
s The school's attendance for the past
week was very good. Miss Averill's
class attendance for the entire week E
s was 99.83. The following classes re- <
I- ceived stars for their good attendance. I
s Miss Judlin, 1st. B.. Miss Burgis, 2nd. I
B., and Miss Averill's room, 6th. A.
Thursday a week ago, the soldiers
that passed through here from France
were royally entertained by the chil
dren by singing. Refreshments were
•. served to these men. They too took
f a part in the singing as well as the
i. pupils. The soldiers departed, after a
e most enjoyable evening was spent.
They expressed their thankfulness and
. gratitude to these children as well as
o to the principal and the teachers.
y Some weeks ago, the children dug
s a garden and now they are commenc
y ing to plant their seeds. The home
y garden and the school garden are well

oil this .uhoj ect, said:"
The executive commllllllittee of th
jilint this lf olrktct (ha' dttI (lth'5h!l u t:
chanlges h:is steadily Iteer atteliri~c l
to increas thi illllmportance of the ew
()rleans Naal Station. but has not
seored much a recent succ ttss. Our
senators and congressme  n utnder
staid the inllortand'e to Naw Orleans
of this work, but hal\e dloubltless be)
landicapped by other imatters of im
l,rtance and by the fact that the
lavy\' authorities do not seem to
think the station as implortat as the
other stations and yacrds.
"t is hoped ttat now, with the war
over, and a readjustment of conditions
coming, our senators and congress
men will be able to secure added
work and equipment, which will In
crease the yard's importance. The
executive comnmittee watches these
matters and neadeavors to secure as
favorable treatment as practical."
Bigger Payroll Wanted.
It was also pointed out that a mat
ter of even more importance than the
authorization of work and equipment
is the granting of an adequate weekly
payroll appropriation to enable the
yard to work at capacity on jobs now
authorized and to use to the fullest
extent the large amount of equipment
it now possesses.
With machine shops, brass and iron
foundries, forge shops and the like
capable of turning out the full mate
rail and equipment for a warship of
a type as big as the gunboat, and with
a new power plant approaching com
pletion the yard's need is believed by
Orleanians to be Navy Department
sympathy and interest. It was learn
ed Friday that although the yard
could give employment to 2000 men.
it had at most only about 1750 during
the war period, and has now been re
duced to the employment of about
1200.
Recently completed in the machine
shop is the engine for a large tug
which has already been lannched, the
hull also having been built at Algiers.
Another tug of the same type is on
the ways and another engilye under
construction. Eight 110-foot submarine
chasers have been built at the yard
during the war. The last of these is
now nearing completion on the ways.
Among work authorized, but 00ot yet
begun are five wooden coal barges of
250 tons each and two seaplane der
ricks.
The 'New Orleans yard must in
crease rapidly in importance, as the
government-owned merchant vessels
of the Shipping Board increase in
number, was the opinion expressed by
Samuel A. Trufant, a member of the
Board of Trade committee. Mr. Tru
fant declared that steadily increasing
need for repairing, refitting and over
hauling government vessels operating
in the gulf will come with this ex
pansion and that New Orleans wth
the excellent facilities of her navy
yard is the place for this work to be
done.
Yard Important Here.
A point generally emphasized is
that the navy yard holds a place in
the city's industrial life exactly equal
to that of any other industry employ
ing a like number of men. I 200 men
are employed, it means an addition of
that many families to New Orleans,
in all probability 5000 or 6000 men,
women and children. With this goes
the business connected with the pur
chase of supplies, materials, and the
like. Also important in any considera
tion of the navy yard is the 600-foot
