4 555.0D0 SURPLUS GIVEN CITY 81 , TMSL Jump of $245,109 in Revenues Exceeds Expectations of . Budget Makers. Official figures of the city comptrol ler on Atlanta's Increase in tax reve nue today show a surplus aboVe the amount appropriated for the year by council of $59,593.47. The final reports show the total In the city's taxes to be the remarkable Increase of $245,109. In making up the budget, the finance committee anticipated an Increase of 1181,203.96. This was considered by many to be excessive. The total revenue from realty and personal taxes In 1911 was $1,688,768. The anticipated revenue for 1912 was $1,869,971.96. The actual receipts will reach $1,929,565.43. Instead of being short in revenue, as was predicted by some, there will be a golden nest egg In the city treasury at the end of the year, unless council gets busy and spends it before January 1. Big Increase Due to Eaualiring. The Increase is principally due to the agitation for an equalization of lax as sessments. The total Increase in as sessments is $19,373,743. The assess ments In 1911 were $135,101,491. The assesnjents for 1912 are $154,365,234 The realty assessments amount to $907,623,866. The personalty assess ments amount to $46,741,368. Since the agitation for tax reforms was begun two years ago, assessments have been Increased more than $35,- 000.000. The increase in the personalty and realty taxes of the public utility corpo rations Is $11,597.82, In 1911 this tax amounted to $180,295.86. In 1912 it is $191,893.68. Taxable Values Tripled In 10 Years. Atlanta’s taxable values have tripled in ten years. In 1902 the total assess ments were only $57,369,612. It Is surprising that the street tax shows a decrease. Every voter, except those exempt by old age or military service, must pay a street tax. In 1911 the total was $15,655. In 1912 It Is $15,- 607. The sanitary tax. $108,890.49, is an *- Increase of $4,360.50. When the finance committee .of coun cil meets In January to make up the new budget It will take the figures ot this year us a basis. The committee will estimate an increase in the revenue for 1913 equal to the increase of 1912 over 1911. The real importance of the tax fig ures is that the finance committee will estimate that It has approximately $250,000 more money to spend In 1913 than It was able to appropriate in 1912 All the city officials agree that the tax assessments are still very low, es pecially on central property.

The nonchalance with which the last pair carried out their robbery amazed the police. The effrontery of the bandits has been taken as an Insult to the department, and, aroused by the wrath of indignant citizens whose homes have been robbed with impunity by the auto robbers, the officials were taking steps today to fight the bandits with their own chief weapon— an automobile. The bandits leisurely drove up to th e jewelry store in West Garfield boule vard. One of them stepped out. threw a brick through the window, picked up a trayful of diamond rings, resumed his seat In the car, which was started down the fashionable boulevard only after the rear door of the machine had been closed. J. A. Hesselbaum. the proprietor, ran out of the store wringing his hands, but the robbers were a block away and beam ing the speed limit. Police believe thfe pair belong to the large gang that se cured $7,000 cash, clothes and jewels, in raiding fashionable North Shore homes.
