No Higher
Tax notices,'' received •'■ in the
mail this week ffom city hall and.
from township treasurers • show;
raised taxes "or valuations in many
cases that have property owners'
asking:, "Are..taxes higher? If so,
which taxes? How much- did they
go up, and why?" • . •
Clare City Assessor Jack Hall
who" is also a member of the
Board of ■ Supervisors, answered
the Sentinel's questions on the
"winter" tax with thc assurance
that valuations have not been
raised since equalization at the
January term "of the Supervisors
one year ago, and thc following
sessions of the County Board ol
Tax Review in-March,
Valuations are unchanged from
those on the "summer" tax notices last July, Hall said.
It was explained that the taxes'
due on' the present billing, are
Clare county taxes only. The
breakdown includes items ol
county operating revenue, school
operating tax, school debt retirement tax, and millage levied for
payment on the county jail building bond retirement
Taxes for city operating revenue
in Clare, arc paid in midsummer
and do not fall due in December.
Are levies higher?
The tax rate is the same, or
l,o*.vef, and .-"the, ynjua tions on
property the same .as last July.
In cases of taxpayers in the
Clare school district, lower school
debt rates are explained by the
fact that a small final -payment on
th'e building bond is ail that remains and the tax rate was lowered because the amount is less
than former debt payments. Total
school tax in Clare amounted to
$19.60 per thousand in 1955. This
year's rate is $18.89 per thousand.
Property • valuations appearing
higber than for the same property
in December, 1955 are accounted
for by action of the Supervisor
when they agreed in January tc
equalize county valuations at 55%
of 1955 State Equalized Valuations.

Buck guessing contest sponsored by Clare's Chamber of
Commerce.   , *   . ■    ■
Robert Zok.oe, of rural Grand Rapids guessed within two
ounces of the correct weight of the largest buck entered here
in a local Big Buck contest..
The lucky guesser while deer hunting near Clare, stopped
in and entered the town's contest by buying a little corn cob
lapel souvenir of Clare's Hunting Season Festival. His guess
on. the largest deer to be weighed in the buck contest was
170 pounds; six: ounces. The largest deer later weighed in the
contest was 170 pounds and 8 ounces. .     , .-
Mr. JZokoe's contest luck proved
better than his hunting fortune, as
he went 'home without a deer Of
his own,, but this did not dim his
pleasure when he was informed
that the contest prize was his.
Both Mr. Zokoe and his-' wife,
