Particulars                                            Amount

Amount to be collected                       $800000

Estimated uncollectible Prop Taxes     3%

Required tax levy $800000/.97             $824742.27

Total assessed value                            $50000000

Less Property not taxable                    $10000000

                                                            $40000000

Less exemptions                                 $2500000

Homestead                                          $2500000

Veterans                                              $1000000
