STATISTICAL.

On the 9th of August, 1804, the commissioners of the newly organized county of Montgomery, ordered that a tax of $450.48 be raised on all items of taxation in Dayton, Washington and German Townships, and $48.82 (and 4 mills) in Elizabeth Township. From the first three $150.80 was appropriated for building a jail. The net amount of taxes collected in the county for the year ending June 3, 1806, was as follows: Elizabeth Township, $97.26.7; Randolph Township, $37.03.6; Dayton Township, $241.07; Washington Township, $132.25.8; German Township, $187.18.3, and sundry other items, making a total of $1,218.15.1. The expenditures for the same year were $1,127.03.9, therefore a small balance was left in the treasury. The valuation of the property in the county at that day was exceedingly small as compared with the present time, and for the sake of comparison, the following figures are given representing the valuation of real property for taxation in the county at several different periods, as equalized by the State Boards of equalization in the respective years:
