(LLBRIGHT WANTS
’cALLS FOR INCREASE OF 35 PER
CENT IN RETURNS. ASSESS
ORS WILL NOT ACT.
A controversy between the board
of tax equalizers of Terrell county,
composed of T. B. Raines, J. H.
pritchard and C. C. Brim, and the
state tax commissioner, H. J. Full
bl'ifih[» now seems certain.
The tax digest, which was recently
completed by tax receiver Ernest
paldwin and fm-wart_icd_ to the Atlanta
office, showed a gain in values over
the 1920 returns of $198,041. This
was not satisfactory to Mr. Full
pright, who had previously notified
the tax officials of the county to in
crease the returns 40 per cent, or
$2.000,000, and upon receipt of the
Uigest he wrote Mr. Baldwin as fol
lm:t'r'he tax digest for 1920 for Ter
rell county has been received, and
apparently no attention has been paid
to the requirements of this office that
Terrell county’s tax values be in
creased, The requirement was for a
40 per cent increase. and it will be
necesary to add 35 per cent to the
dizest as it has been sent in in order
to meet this requirement. Please
confer with your board of tax assess
ors and advise me whether or not
they will undertake to make the di
gest comply with this requirement.”
" Receiver Baldwin, replying to Mr.
Fullbright’s letter, said:
“In reply to your letter of recent
date, will say that the board of tax
assessors knew about your request
for a 40 per cent increase in the di
gest. The assessors went carefully
over the returns, and they think they
are high enough as they are.”
When asked about the matter yes
terday Mr. T. B. Raines, the chair
man, said the board of assessors had
sone thoroughly into and carefully
inspected the returns of the county,
and are convinced that the values are
hieh enough. He said the board will
take no further action.
' The next move is up to Mr, Full-
