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.
