L1TTLE6AME OF CRAPS,
A ROLL-AND REVOLVER
RETURNS FOR LAN
NOT SATISFACTORY
With no franchise value Included in
the new line from Car.
28 acres of real estate
aluatlon, arid no returns for
freight depot In Atlanta, re-
the Louisville and Nashville
lave been filed with the
comptroller general.
On the Atlanta, Knoxville and North
ern a valuation of $4,500 per mile le
made, with a franchise value of $52,500.
On the new line. 50 miles of which le
In Georgia, a return of $12,600 per
mile Is made—the same as fixed by the
comptroller last year.
It Is stated that the franchise Is In
cluded In this return, but General
Wright falle to see It that way. When
returns were made last year the new
line had Just been opened, and there
was no way of determining a fran
chise valuation. But now It has capital
stock, gross earnings and operating
and other qxpenses upon which to base
a franchise.
This la rot tho only peculiar fea
ture of the returns. Last year 28 acres
of real estate returned are left out this
year, because It has sidetracks on It.
General Wright Is of the opinion that
the land must still be there, nnd that
It has a value—in fact, an Increased
value over last year.
On the great freight depot In Atlanta,
now about completed, which extends
from Central avenue to Piedmont ave
nue, no returns ore made whatever.
Comptroller Wright wants to know
about It. He believes somebody owns
It, and that that somebody le liable for
taxes on It.
