The digest was closed last night and is
prepared and ready to be sent to the con-
troller general However, Capt. Dillon
desired to look once more through its
pages before it left his hands and on this
account its Transmission to Atlanta was
delayed until to-day.
IL is the sixteenth that Capt. Dillon has
prepared since his induction into office
in 1885. The digest for 1884, which was
prepared by his predecessor in the office
of receiver of tax returns, showed re-
turns amounting TO $40, 437 9Ss. In sixteen
years the increases has been 3d. $40. or
more than fifty per cent In other words
the increase in tax values has just about
kept pace with the increase in the popu-
lation of the city and county.
Like the digest of last year. a decrease
"a shown in the value of bicycles This
is probably due to the fact that the
wheels are constantly becoming cheaper
and to the further fact that they are not
being as much ridden as they were
year ago.
The increases are healthy and constant
in almost every form of property repre-
sented in the returns, save in the case of
gas companies and merchandise. The de-
crease in the first instance is only appar-
emf and is due 90 the fact that the Mutual
Gas Light Company did not return its
holdings in the special column of the re-
turn blanks reserved, for some unknown
and unknowable reason, for this form of
property, but returned 1t generally as
realty and personally. In the case of
merchandise the decrease is more than
probably due TO the fact that owners of
this form of property have not estimated
II at as much as they did last year. or
possibly, TO the fact that at that time
about 10000 soldiers were being mustered
out at Savannah and the merchants had
provided themselves with extraordinarily
large stocks of goods to meet their de-
mands.
