RETURNS FALL OFE
COUNTY TAX DIGEST WILL SHOW
DECREASE OF OVER 100000.
MAY GO CLOSE TO 100000.
CONSOLIDATION OF ELECTRIC IN
TERESTS ONE OF THE CAUSES.

Receiver Baker VIII Probably Conn
plete His Figures To-day-A Con-
serVutive Estimate of the Returns
Puts 1t About $31, 400, OOO-The Tax
Receiver Has Made an Effort to
Get Property Returned at Its Cor
rect Value.
The tax digest for the current year
will probably be completed by Tax Re
ceiver Marcus S. Baker and his Of
flee force to-day or tonight. The di-
gest will show a considerable decrease
in values from that of last year, which
it is believed will be somewhere be-
tween 5000, 900 and 100000.
The decrease results from a number
of causes, chief among which are the
consolidation of the Edison Electric
Illuminating Company with the Savan-
nah Electric Company, for which re-
turns are made directly to the Con-
troller General of the state, and the
voluntary reductions Mr.. Baker has
made in the values of a number of
pieces of city property.
''It is gratifying to a tax receiver"
said Mr.. Baker yesterday, ito have the
county digest show an increase in
values, but to me it is more crafty
ing to know that tax values approach
equal justice as between the citizens
OF the community. Where my expert
ence has led me to the belief that a
piece of property has been assessed
too high 1 have not hesitated to per-
nit reduction"
The digest for 1901 showed a total
valuation of county property for taxa
ton of $31, 6S2, 712. A conservative fore
cast of the digest for this year is about
$31, 1000

BOLD DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Syrian Thief Dashed Away From
Deputy Carroll.


George Avery. a thief of Syrian ex-
traction, who was being conducted
from his trial for theft in the City
Court to the county Jail, made a bold
attempt at escape yesterday afternoon.
After escaping unframed from the fire
of Deputy Sheriff CarrolPs revolver,
outfooting Assistant Jailer William
Roman, and while tasting in anticipa-
ton the joys of regained freedom. Ay-
cry was felled to the ground with a
Ratchet welded by a negro carpenter.
and captured.
The attempt to escape was made lust
as the gate of the Jail enclosure was
reached, Avery darting across Haber-
sham strete and won Perry lane. Dep
uty Carroll fired at him, but missed.
and Mr.. Roman, who joined in the
chase with rifle, was afraid to use it
for fear of wounding a spectator.
As he neared East Broad street
Avery ran past a negro carpenter at
work in the lane and that dusky indi-
vidual handed him a couple of stiff
ones with the flat of his Ratchet. The
blows discouraged any further effort
at escape and though he attempted
some feeble resistance Avery was
promptly taken into custody and car
ried back to Jail.
