It was only a couple of weeks ago that this
Christmas tree was the center of attention
in someone’'s home. It was covered with
Fai and colorful decorations and bright
ights. Boxes of gifts destined for loved
ones and anxious children once sat at its
base. But a few hours after New Year's
Day, it was stripped of decorations, paper
from the last gift was removed and it was
yanked out of a reservoir of water that

Short Life Of Christmas Tree
had nourished it during a few days of
glory. Then it was unceremoneously toss
ed out beside a trash dumpster. A short
time later, Chattooga County crews pick
ed it up and hauled it to the local landfill,
never to be seen again. But never fear, the
Christmas Tree never dies and it will arise
in a new form about mid-December, 1987.

Four Die
In Wrecks
Last Year
Four people were killed and
175 hurt in 310 traffic ac
cidents in Chattooga County in
1986, according to Sgt. Joe
Gossett of Post 38, Georgia
State Patrol, Rome.
The county also received
$176,882.60 last year in fines
and forfeitures, Gossett
pointed out. Troopers made
2,612 arrests and issued 3,951
warning tickets in 1986.
Various Chattooga courts
disposed of 2,400 pending traf
fic cases last year, including
501 guilty pleas, 1,351 bond
forfeitures, 110 nolo contendre
(no contest) pleas and 438 cases
dismissed, Sergeant Gossett
said. Cases and arrests are not
the same for 1986 because
some cases are carried over in
to the 1987 to coincide with
court dates.
One of the county's four
traffic deaths last year occur
red in December, Gossett add
ed, along with nine injuries and
16 accidents.
Post 38 troopers made 172
arrests and issued 288 warn
ings in December, 1986,
Gossett said. A total of 105
pending traffic cases was
disposed of last month, in
cluding 42 guilty pleas, 37
bond forfeitures, two nolo con
tendre pleas and 24 dismissed
cases. A total of $8,333.50 in
fines and forfeitures was paid
to Chattooga last month, he
pointed out.
‘No Explanation
For Digest Drop
State officials don't know
why Chattooga County's in
tangible property tax digest
had the largest dollar decrease
in the state in 1986 under 1985.
The county expects to col
lect $17,954.96 in intangible
property taxes for the 1986
calendar year, according to
Marcus Collins, State Depart
ment of Revenue Commis
sioner. That compares to
$28,068.35 collectedpin 1985.
The 1986 figure represents a
decrease of $10,113.39 under
the 1985 total.
Chattooga residents have
until 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16, to
pay their 1986 property taxes.
NO SPECIFICS
“No sir, not specifically,”
replied Hart Pearson, director
of the Property Tax Division of
the Georgia Department of
Revenue, when asked if he
knew the reasons for the reduc
tion. He speculated, “‘people
who had intangible property
have sold it or the varue of in
tangible property went down,
or a comgination of both. It's
just the way the figures fell
| out.'’
f Intangible properties taxed
| by the state include cash,
| stocks in out-of-state firms, ac
| counts receivable, bonds and
| debentures of corporations,
| credits extended in connection
‘} with the purchase of stocks,
| notes not secured by real estate
| and short term notes secured
| by real estate.
i The Intangible Property
| Tax Section compiles the in
| tangible property tax digest,
| makes assessments and sends
| the data to counties for collec
| tion of taxes due. More than 98
| percent of the total listed for
| Chattooga will go to local
| governments and to the
| schools. The state's share is a
| quarter mill. (A mill is $1 tax
| on each SI,OOO of assessed
| property).
‘ DATA

| county's intangible property

e .
| its fire calls are made annually
| to locations outside the city
| limits and that it cost the city
| SIOO,OOO per year to operate
| the department.
| Insurance agents in the
area have said non-subscribers
| likely will end up with a Class
| 10 fire classification as a result,
| meaning that many will be
| unable to obtain fire insurance
| at any price. Summerville has
| a Class 6 rating.
