GEORGIA TAX RATE
FIXED AT 4.0 MILLS
Rate Is One Tenth Mill Below
Saa... That of Last Year.
MUST PAY $3.50 ON EACH $1,000
Reduction Made Possible by Great
Increase in Tax Returns and in Spite
OF the Increased Appropriations
Made by Recent Legislature.

Atlanta, Aug. 30-If you own 81 1000
worth of property the state will col
lect just $3.50 from you this year, as
against $4.90, which you were requir-
ed to pay in 1905
After conference lasting all the
forenoon, Governor Terrell and Comp
troller General W. A Wright, Wed
nesday fixed the state rate at $3.50
on $1,000, or AS mills per cent. This
Is 10 cents less on the $1,000 than
was fixed last year. and it took hard
work to get the figure down.
Of the AS mills on the dollar, II
mills are for school purposes. This
will raise $1,O00,0OO Then II mills
are for the sinking fund. This will
raise 100000 to paw off bonds matur-
ing next year Finally, 2.93 mills
are for general purposes, including
pensions.
The legislature, recently adjourned,
made additional appropriations of
$334,000 available in 1906 and 1907.
There was $1c5,0OO appropriated last
year and paid out, which is not re-
peated in this years appropriations
SO that leaves a net additional sum
TO be raised over last year of $229,-
OOO
1t has been ascertained that even
at the reduced rate fixed which is
20 below the constitutional rate of
5 mills, the increase of more than
$46 100000 in property valuations will
net the state about $4,000.
This leaves about 100000 still to be
raised to meet all the states apropri-
ations and expenses, and the governor
and comptroller general count on in
creased specific taxes to do this. In
the same way double that amount was
raised last year and it IS considered
there will be no doubt about the state
treasury meeting every Obligation at
the reduced rate, and without the ne
cessity of borrowing
Had it not been for the increased
appropriations mentioned, the rate
would have been considerably lower
than 4.S0.
