TAX RETURNS WILL BE LARGER
And City Rate VIII BE Less in Pro-
portion.

The work of the city assessors to the
end of increasing very largely the total
of property values in Americus will
have the beneficial effect of reducing
the tax rate this year, although the
rate assessed last year, ST. 80 per 500,
was not onerous. But with larger
volume of property returned, even
this rate can and will be lowered this
year. OF this rate of 81 80, fifty cen is
goes TO the school fund.- fifty cents to
the bond fund, while the entire current
expenses of the city are paid with the
remaining 30 cents together with the
income from special taxes. fines etc
It requires excellent business manage
ment to do this, and the financial and
executive departments of the city ad
ministration are to be congratulated
upon the fact that it has been done.
And they will do it with even less tax
alton another year.

RATE LOWERED AS EXPECTED
One-Tenth Mill is Cut on the State
Rate.

The state tax rate for the current year
has just been assessed, and will be
one-tenth mill less than the rate last
year. The'stat rate for 1905 was 81 80
on each $1,000 of property returned,
while the rate this year is 81 80. This
is saving to taxpayers of ten cents on
each s., 900, and while it will not make
millionaires of any it is worth saving.
The gratifying feature is that the state
is in such excellent financial condition
as to reduce its tax rate, after such
positive assurances recently given by
politicians that it was gong to the
bow-wows in a whirl.
