increased during the past year just
$fG5,4iS over the assessment on the
books of the commissioner of the
revenue for 1909. according to the
oitlsial figures given out yesterday by
Marshall A. Booker, the assessor OF
lands for this county. Mr. Booker
has been nard at work on the assess
ments for the past nine months and
he feels certain that the owners of

future by watching for delinquent
lard sales owing to the erroneous as
sessments.
Under Mr.. Booker's assessment the
total value of lots, buildings and
tracts in the entire county. including
Hampton and Phoebus, Is $4,222 1887.

The total as s4,1i6.41S. Mr.. Booker
is confident that when he completes
the recapitulations of the several dis
tricts that the Increase will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000, although he
feels highly gratified over the show
ing of s105.41S as compared with the
books of the commissioner.
While Elizabeth City county is the
smallest in point OF acreage in the
Old Dominion. yet II is said that this
section pays more taxes into the state
treasury on buildings and lands thar
