has just completed statement show
ing the amount of taxes due Richmond

$90,S95 IS for general and $49,057 for

taxes claimed for the city of Augusta
since 1891 is 1921, $50, making the
total of taxes demanded for the county
OF Richmond and the city of Augusta
1851, 2O2 Add to this the taxes de-
manded by the state since 1888, which
are $125,974, and the grand total which
the Georgia railroad is called on to
