STATE TAX RETURNS
TO EXCEED BILLION
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Encouraging Reports Now Being
Received by Commissioner
Hart from All Sections ot
Georgia.
13 COUNTIES REPORT
GAIN OF $17,510,129
Wealth of State Has Been Showing
Steady Increase Ever Since 1896,
When Losses of Civil War Were
Entirely Wiped Out.
Atlanta, July 19.—For the first
time in her history, Georgia will go
over the billion mark in total tax re
turns, according to reports already
received by Judge John C. Hart, tax
commissioner. Returns from 43 coun
ties, representing ery section, show
a total increase i . 817, 510,129 over
last year and th . lications are that
this average gai:: il Ibe maintained
in the remaining ’ counties. Some
may show small decreases, but it is
believed that the gain in the other
counties will be more than enough to
offset any loss.
The billion mark has never beer,
reached by this State, the total re
turns of last year, which were the
largest up to that time, being $991,-
661,606. At the present tax rate of
five mills Georgia’s income will be
considerably greater than $5,000,000.
Judge Hart’s figures show that the
wealth of the State has been increas
ing steadily for many years, the civil
war proving the only check on her
prosperity. In 1862 the tax returns
of the State were at the highest point
they had reached up until that time.
In that year they amounted to $413,-
244,321, of which amount the sum of
$213,573,207 was made on slave prop
erty. Then came the war, which
wiped out this enormous amount of
wealth held in slave property and the
value of the property in Georgia hit
a low point.
It took the State Until the year of
1896 to atone the loss through the
freeing of the slaves and in that year
the tax returns of the State again
equalled the mark of 1862. From that
year to this the State has been stead
ily gaining in wealth.

an American aviator. A beautiful
love story runs through this powerful
