Innocent.
Inatead of a valuation of 13,700,000.
according to the bond and stock Issue
of the Georgia Railway and Electric
Company, the real taxable value Is
about 317,987,000.
Such In effect Is the purport of a
letter written President Preston S.

liam A. Wrlsht.
The capitalisation of the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company Is 118,-
000,000, Including an increase of 32,300-
000 added recently by a bond Issue.
Figuring bonds and stock on a basis

at the Idea that the value of the prop

more than the returns Indicated.
As yet the comptroller has not heard
from President Arkwright, but It Is ex
pected that negotiations will commence
at once to adjust the wide existent dif

turnable value of the property.

Will Make Returns on New
Terminals in Short
Time.
Return, on the new mllllon-dollnr
terminal property of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad will be made to the
comptroller general aa soon an the data
can be compiled, but'exemption for the
land It etanda on may be asked on the
contention that It l» the properly of
the Georgia Railroad.
C. O. Bradford, real estate and tax
expert of tho Louisville and Nashville,
called on Comptroller Wright Thursday
altcmoon relative to the matter. He
Hated that no return was made on the
Immense freight depot, because the
property was not completed and he
knew of no precedent for returning
property In proceee of construction.
Comptroller Wright pointed out,
bewever, that a large tangible property
exlated on return day In March and
that figures must bo submitted. Mr.
Bradford agreed to do so. He, how
ever, Intimated that an exemption claim
might be asked on the land on which
the terminal stands, as It Is the proper,
ty of the Georgia Railroad.
The comptroller contends that the
Louisville and Nashville must hold
•ome kind of lease-hold on the land,
and this would make it liable for tax
ation.

Home Missions.
The Rev. S. L. Morris, D. D.. of At
lanta, submitted the report of tho ex
ecutive committee on homo missions.
Among other things the report saye:
"With profound gratitude to our
Heavenly Father for His gracious favor
unto us. we are again permitted to re
port a year of great prosperity In our
work. It Is remarkable, a matter de
manding signal recognition on our
part, that for five years In succession
we have been able to report 'the year
of greatest prosperity.' In each In
stance this statement could only be
justified by the fact that each year lias
been a decided advance over the pro-
vlous. During the closing year our re
ceipts have been from all eourcee 3,4.-
814 14 being 310,366.99 In excese of tho
Dre'vtous prosperous year. By actual
calculation it has been found that more
than thirteen hundred have been added
on profession of faith to the churches
assisted from the Home Mission office;
and It le estimated that more than fif
teen hundred were received by certifi
cate. so that the total gain can not be
far from three thousand. In some In
stance* whole congregation* have been
received by us In a body. We believe
it le the beginning of even greater
things for our belovsd church.
"From contributions, 361,507.13; from
loan fund, 3628.60; legaclos, 318.633.61;
Interest on bond and notes. 33.139.80.
Total receipts, 174,314.14.
"Six years ago our recslpts were 826,-
916.93, which. If compared with the
above total, will show a gain of 347,-
898.19. At that time our schedule of
appropriations for the work amounted
to 134.066.00. For the coming year w*
have voted to expend. on our work
369,070.00, an Increase of 335,006.00.
