Georgia's increase in aggregate values
returned for taxation TO the Office of the
controller general for the year 1899, are 3d..
sos ga over the amount for last year.
These are the official figures tabulated In
the controller generals office yesterday
afternoon. The aggregate value of all
property returned for taxation for this
year is $372. 927. GU The value Of last years
returns was 1868 lis 4G3. The increase fer
this year is so marked that the eloquence
of the figures needs no additional COM
ment 10 show The increasing prosperity Of
the Empire State of the South. In all the
lines of taxable property the returns show
an increase except in those lines where
there have been unnatural causes for de .
preston. For instance in the returns on
horses and cattle there is a decrease FOR
the year over the returns of last year
This is explained by the fact that a large
number of animals We're returned for tax
alton last year just prior 10 the sale of
these animals TO the United States gov
eminent for war purposes. In this years
returns the animals do not figure, but the
wealth which was poured into The pockets
Of the owners of these animals in payment
for them shows up in the returns for tax
able money. in which there is tremen-
dous increase.
