20,000 Head of Cattle.
This year it is estimated 20,000
bead of cattle will be brought into
Osage County. These cattle are all
taxable property and at a fair esti-
mate should amount to 50c per head.
This would make a tolsl of $100,000
that ought to be collected and turned
into the county treasurv. but, judg
ing from last year, it will not. I.ast
year there were probably 120,000
head of cattle in the county, and
these, at the rate above mentioned,
meant $60,000 in taxes that ought to
have been turned intt the county
till, but the total tax on all these
rattle collected amounted to only
$8 000. and of this. $1,500 is still
uncollected. This indicates a loss to
the county lr I yenr of $52.00(V This
would mean a loss this year of about
180,000.
