BOARD OF EQUALIZATION ACTS.
Assessment of Property Shows q
Substantial Increase.

The State board of equalization has
the assessments upon cotton mill prop
erty in this State. The total shows an
increase of $3,2O0,000 over last year.
The increased income of the State on
the mill levy will be about $4,000.
The total amount OF taxable mill
property as represented in the assess
ments of 1903 was $34,557,066. The
increase is due to the building of new
mills and to the fact that there were
reductions at Clifton and Pacolet last
year. The board will meet on the 14th
to audit any complaints.
