Butts Tax Assessors Gain
Vital Concession From State
Butts County and its Board
of Tax Assessors came out
the winners in a hassle last
week with the state audit
department over the 1975
County tax digest.
Precipitating the fight was
the claim by the state that
Butts County’s 1975 tax
evaluations were based on
only 30.9 percent of fair
market value, or only 0.4
percent higher than the 30.5
percent figure of 1974. The
state requires that real
property be assessed at 40
percent of its fair market
value and the State Revenue
Department can refuse to
approve county tax digests
that do not meet, or
approach, this level.
The local assessors felt
that a sales ratio study done
by the state audit depart
ment was weighted heavily
Reynolds Aluminum Recycling
Project Continues in Flovilla
You could drive from
Flovilla to Locust Grove and
back on aluminum if U.S. 23

cans Reynolds has collected
since its recycling center
opened in Atlanta a year ago.
“Think about 17.4 million
cans collected from the
roadsides and you get an idea
of the impact this program
has made on our state,” said
Jo I. Arnett, district man
ager for the Reynolds
Aluminum Recycling Com
pany.
Arnett pointed out that
collectors find aluminum
cans in many places other
than roadsides. Tavern dis
cards, for example, are
popular sources as are
recreation areas.
He said that collectors had

When the two parties
agreed to arbitrate the
matter, Morrison Dunaway
was named arbitrator for
Butts County. He has
represented members of the
Taxpayers Protective Asso
ciation of Butts County in
several arbitration cases to
date. John Haupt, a Washing
ton, Ga. realtor, was named
to represent the state and the
two selected Professor
O'Kelley, an economics
teacher at the University of
Georgia.
Representing Butts County
at the arbitration hearing
was Roy Staples, chairman
of the Tax Assessor Board;
Byrd Garland, county attor
ney; Jim Wallace, appraiser,
gathered up more than
760.000 pounds of aluminum
in the first year’s operations.
“That shows how quickly
persons have become inte
rested in recycling alumi
num and thus doing some
thing to improve the environ
ment.” Arnett added.
The district manager said
that Reynolds had paid the
public more than $114,000 --
figured at 15 cents a pound --
for aluminum picked up by
trucks operating out of the
center at 3465 Hamilton
Boulevard in southeast At

In Flovilla, the Reynolds

Assessors won a seven-point
concession from the auditors,
who agreed that the County’s
tax digest reflected 37.8
percent of its fair market

The decision could mean
that the County’s 1976 tax
