The forthcoming report OF the STATE
assessors will not show great in
crease in the value of cotton mill ma
chincry as was anticipated some time
ago. Many of the mills have put in 4
great deal of new machinery. this be-
ing necessary so that the mills may
keep up with the times in competitive
production. II was thought on ac-
count of this new machinery that
some increase would be shown in the
valuation. 1t is learned by Il careful
investigation on the part of the as
SCISSORS that this new machinery re-
placed the old and was not in the line
of additions. Therefore, but slight II
any increase in valuation will be
shown.
With the wooden mills a slight IN
crease will be made. Many of the
smaller mills all over the State nave
added to their capacity. Some of the
mills have doubled their machinery.
others have made smaller increase.
No additions, as rule. nave been
made to the buildings, but wherever
an opportunity was offered TO add new
machinery by moving some OF the ola,
additions have been made.
Regarding the cotton mills there is
one peculiar thing. Formerly 1t was
considered u safe thing to reckon on
the number of spindleS as basis OF
the capacity of the mills. But with
the new machines the same number OF
spindles will do great deal more
work so that it is hardly safe 10 make
calculations on the old basis. TINS
additional work is gained by speed
ing up the machines. Thus it may be
seen how u smaller number of ma
chimes will turn out the same amount
OF work as before.
