TUSCALOOSA LANDS ASSESSED TOO LOW Examiner Finds the Average to
 be $1.89 Per Acre COUNTY BOOKS CORRECT Mir. Wilkinson Gives Some Examples to Show the Enormous Differ
 ences In Assessments
 and Sale Prices.
COUNTY BOOKS CORRECT

Montgomery, March .-(Special)-The tax assessment of Tuscaloosa county is the subject of some very unfavorable comment by Assistant State Examiner Wilkinson in a report filed by him on the books of the Tuscaloosa county officials The examiner reports that the real estate with improvements in Tuscaloosa county is assessed at the astonishing low rate of $1S9 per acre.
 MT. Wilkinson saddles this low assess ment upon the board of equalization, the assessor and tax commissioner claiming that the board does not sustain them in raises made
 The general condition of the books of the county are reported most commenda- ble. There were no errors reported in any of the accounts. In his report on the books of Tax Assessor J. P. Park. MT. Wilkinson makes this comment:
 Books Are Found Correct.
 After careful investigation, verify ing his figures, I found his books cor rectly and neatly kept The valuation of property is exceedingly low Lands with the improvements thereon are given in for taxation at an average of $iS9 per acre. notwithstanding the fact that Tus- ealoosa is the third county in Alabama Jefferson and Walker first and second), in acreage of at present available coal lands. To quote from the state geologist: From the latitude of Tuscaloosa town northward to the lines of Jefferson, Wal ker and Fayette counties the lands might all be called mineral, since 1t Is under laid by coal, but yet only the coal of the Brookwood group is considered mine able, and there are from 150 to 200 square miles of territory underlaid by this group.
 ''As an agricultural county 1t Is fair. The river lowlands embrace much fine land. There are about 150 square miles in which good pIne timber is to be found where there are many saw mills One of the finest furnaces in Alabama, belonging to the Central Iron and Coal company, is situated in close proximity to the city of Tuscaloosa, owning 5561 acres of the finest mineral lands in the state, was as- sessed last year at $5OOOO; yet 1t is fact that this company has spent $6OOO0O in inn provements and paid SIS to $20 per acre for these lands.

Recent Bulletin Issued.

We have had In 1903 without any fer tilzer yields per acre of more than 9 tons of cured sorghum forage, tons of alfalfa hay (before the plants were six months old) 4Ia tons of soy bean hay .s1s tons of cowpea hay 34 bushels of shelled soy beans, and 116 bushels of pea nuts.
 Rape and vetch have made luxuriant growth.
 These and scores of other facts all lead to this conclusion: Prairie lands af- ford large yields of the best forage plants and the best means of finding a market for these crops is by converting them into beef. butter, pork, mutton. wool, mules

to us, free of expense. All we ask Is
that suitable receptacles be used by
those whom we accommodate. The
regulation pail for garbage is made
of galvanized iron, twenty gallons
capacity, with handles at the sides
and tight cover. The regulation
receptacle for ashes is Of thirty gal
Ions capacity, otherwise the same as
that for garbage. These can be OBJ

90 cent variety will hardly last sea-

many, and is the cheapest invest

I'm 1902 our department started
out with two wagons for collection
of garbage. We now have twenty
three in service, and will agree to
call at least once a week for ashes,
rubbish, and garbage at any home In
the city, the only provision being that
we cannot afford to let our men waste
time loading their wagons with SHOW
els. The material to be carted away
must be in the receptacles that can
be dumped into. the wagons.

haul away manure. We do the best

have garbage hauled away and have
the cost taxed as a lien on the prop
