THE STATE TAX RATE LOWERED
REDUCTION OF We PER 500 is
MADE BY AUTOMATIC BOARD.
Total Appropriations for Fiscal Year
is $5,080,464; Revenues Collected
Is Estimated at $2,944,248.

Austin, Textile state automatic
tax board Wedr esday met with GOV
ernor Colquitt ard fixed the tax rates
for the current year. The state school
tax was fixed at zoe on each $500 OF
assessed valuation, an increase OF sc
over last year; state ad Valorem rate
at 12Rc, a reduction of 1O2c, while
the pension tax remains the same, at
sc. 1t makes total state taxes Of 37Rc,
a net reduction under last year OF
TIC.
The rates were fixed on total as
sessed state valuation of $2,716,119,-
sos, an increase of $40, ,683 over
last year. Not all of the counties
have filed their estimates, but the
valuations from 30 give net in
crease of $34,S73,924,
1t was estimated that $2,S26,O
would have to be raised to supplement
other income to meet appropriations,
to which must be added 20 per cent
for assessing and collecting the taxes,
grand total OF $3,3S9,2OO to come
from ad valorem taxes.
The total appropriations for the fis-
cal year is $5,0S0,464, while revenue
collected from sources other than ad
valorem is estimated at $2,S44,24S,
leaving the difference to be made up
by ad valorem revenues,
With the valuation given above, the
new tax rates will produce the follow,
ing gross amounts: School, $5,4S2,-
239; ad valorem, S3,395,149, and pen
sion, $1,35S059. The 20 per cent for
assessing and collecting must be de,
Quoted, leaving net lesser amount
in each instance.
In addition to the state school tax
the available school fund received 3d.
364,73 from other sources during the
past twelve months and will easily get
that amount during the next twelve
months. With that income and in.
creased state tax there will be sui,
ficient money coming to the available
school fund for per capita apportion-
ment of nearly So for each child with
in the scholastic age. The apportion
ment is not made until next month
and if It goes to IS all previous rec.
ords will be shattered. However. the
scholastic age was raised from II to
q years and that means more pupils
and longer division, which may hold
the apportionment close to ST, the
present figure.
Available school fund will receive
approximately the following amounts
in addition to the state school tax:
School redemptions, $142,460: insol
vents, $4,000; polls, $6O5,OOO; school
occupation, $241,601; school collec
tions by treasury, $264,2S1; interest
from repositories. $4,IS2; collections
by controller, $4,000; interest OF
bonds, $690,370 and interest from
school land sales and leases, $1,404,
GEO.
There are $1,000 confed crate pen
sioners at this time drawing $22 pei
quarter. Even if they do increase il
number the &c rate on the increased
valuation should insure a quarterly
allowance in excess of $40 and pos
! sibly $25.
