The report OF last year shows that
in Hampton the Personal taxes of
white taxpayers amounted to $l20.973;
Phoebus, $52,96O; Chesapeake, $780,
90; Wythe, $S16,59l. Grand total,
$663,440.
When the fetal increased valuation
is estimated on the rate of taxation
it will be seen that Mr.. Booker's work
will mean a great deal larger revenue
to the county, in fact the increase will
moer than pay the annual salary of the
commissioner of the revenue.
AS is well known the work of Mr..
Booker does include the estimates fur.
nishcd the county by the State cor
poration Commission OF the personal
property taxable under. that body's
valuation.
Mr.. Booker will forward his books
tc the State auditor within few days.
The total taxable personal property
owned by solored persons in the coun-
ty, according to the books of the COM
missioner for the previous years. was
$4i,S19.
