TAX VALUES SHOW
A LARGE INCREASE.
SEVtNTH GRADE
QUESTIONS READY.
Judge John C. Hart, state t x
commissioner, last week submit
ted to Comptroller-General Wm.
A. Wright his first annual report,
which states that the total value
of property for aft valorem taxa
tion in 1913 was $867,973,737,
which Was increased largely un
der the operation of the equaliza
tion tax act in 1914 to &953;551,-
254 or a-r.et total gain of $85,557
517.
The largest increase in any
particular item of- property is
that of Tmpioved Land, to-wit:
$40,284,822. This is not due, to
the fact- that there has been any
material increase in the value of
land per acre, but ,to the fact
that the increased acreage of im
proved land amounts to 735,091
acres. -This is land two-thirds of
which was never before put on
digest.
There are several counties in
Georgia which discovered as
many as 60,000 acres not hereto
fore on the digest, and upon
which ho taxes were paid. The
hitherto value of land per aci
for taxation in these counties
was actually lowered in conse
quence'of, the discovery of- this
returned'land. City and town
property shows -an •” increase of.
$2,440,146. Money and solvent
debis show .an increase of $6,300
000.
Tht greatest increase in county
assessments is shown in Fulton
counts, the increase being 010-
198,085. Grady county’s increase
ii0119,155.
To the teachers of Grady coun
ty:
1 have on hand a number of
questions sent out by the State
Department of Education for. the
Seventh grade pupils. Each pu
pil who stands a satisfactory ex
amination on Stheso questions is
entitled to a eertifiicate showing
they have completed the Seventh
grade. I will be glad to mail
these questions to any teacher
desiring same.

animation this year will be the
