Mcdowell County shows by far the
most formidable array of figures. The
report shows that in the premier coal
county the taxes for 1915 amounted to
one thousand dollars day. The total
assessment there is shown to be $685.
7u,S2160; total taxes. 1865, O6OO4;
state taxes. $4O,29S54.
Fayette. Marion, Raleigh, Monon-
gala, Kanawha and Harrison follow
in the order named, the total taxes in
each OF which counties, on account of
coal properties, exceed one hundred
thousand dollars. 1t is an odd spec
taele to find Monongala County among
the leaders in coal taxes, for the rea-
son that this county occupies no such
position as coal producer. The pro.
ductiOn in Nonongalia County for
1914. which is the latest compilation
available, was only 100000 tons. This
condition was not peculiar to Monon-
gala County however The counties
OF Gilmer, Greenbrier, Lincoln, Mich
olas, Preston, upshur and Wyoming
have very small coal production. Some
Of them almost nil. Nevertheless, the
coal properties are heavily assessed
and bear considerable proportion of
local and state taxation. In Dodd
ridge there is a coal assessment OF
$2.370GSG and in Wetzel $4.121378
There is not a ton of coal produced
in either Of these two counties for the
markets and never has been. The coal
properties of Greenbrier County paid
$19793.59 taxes in 1915. Their latest
rating of production is 1858 tons,
The tax as is shown, amounts to
nearly one dollar per ton of the out
put Gilmer produces 88,369 tons and
pays S24,9S9.S5 in taxes. Wyoming
County coal taxes amounted to nearly
three dollars for every ton of coal pro.

In Clay County every acre OF land
is assessed with coal valuation at an
average of $3.50 per acre. The Elk
River is used by the assessor as the
dividing line. All Of the land on one
side is assessed at five dollars per
acre for coal All on the other side
at ten dollars. The river is presumed
to split the county in half.
Herewith is shown group of coun-
ties having small coal production, but
which carry large assessments of coal
lands. In Nicholas, as an instance,
there is a meager production. Never.

Tax is an indeterminate quantity, and
the amount returned on account of it
can only be Appropriated. The law
requires that the returns thereon be
guarded with secrecy. 1t has gener-
