HIGHER TAX RATE
EFFECTIVE OCT. |.
Raise in Levy Expected to In
crease Revenue of Fulton
County $4,000 Yearly.

County officials today are beginning
TO compile the tax assessments against
property holders in Fulton. having as
basis of charge the new rate of 61-2
mills on the dollar. as fixed by the coun-
" commission late yesterday afternoon.
The rate will go into effect October l,
and nearly $4,000 additional to the
former income will be paid into the
county treasury. This viii give over
$500 900.
1t was asserted at the session that
the state legislature partly is response
Bile for the increased tax That body.
it is said, each year forces certain obli-
cations on the county which have not
been sought by the people
General Clifford L. Anderson, chair
man of the board, said:
By passing new laws that may or
may not be wanted by people of this
county, the state legislature puts on
US an additional expense Of approx
mately $4,000 each year"
Judge II. E. w. Palmer substanttatsd
this statement
Three Opposed Increase.
1t was said that several changes or
dered in the courts and in other de-
partments of the county affairs made
an increased expense last year and
this.
Notwithstanding the probability of
an enlarged expense account for next
year warm sentiment against any
tax raise whatever was shown by three
of the commissioners at the beginning
of the session. They were Tull Waters.
Judge H. f. W. Palmer apd S. B. Tur-
man. 1t was shown thas the six-mill
rate would bring practically 1892 600
next year, and the expense of the eoun-
ty will be $733,0O0 This would leave
nearly 100000 to be used to meet pay
ments on the court house work.
General Anderson. who figured that
the court house win require $500 900 for
work until next September, advised
that raise of one mill be fixed. A
lengthy discussion followed and the in
crease was lowered to the half mill now
in effect.
The commissioners decided that no
large additional income could be eX-
pected from the increased value of es-
tates in the county. They declared that
the current expenses increase almost as
rapidly as the increase of income. 1t
was at his juncture that the state leg
islature was made responsible for
part of the annual increase of expense.
No Provision For Employees.
In the budget of expenditures COM
piled no provision whatevertWas made
to pay the county employees next year.
Under the new fee system, in effect
January l, the county is forbidden to
pay the officials except with money de-
rived from fees
The commissioners passed a motion
that the increase from the additional
half mill tax shall be used for court
house work exclusively They provid-
ed that $4,000 be set aside for pay
ment on the building 1t will be COM
peted early in 1915, according to re-
ports of the contractors, and at that
time the commissioners think it viii be
possible to meet the countys oDiga
tons at much lower tax rate than is
in effect nov.
