COUNTY
ACTUAL VALUE
OF PROPERTIES
REPORTED THAT STATE ASSESS.
MENT VIII INCREASE TO 100
80" PER CENT.
BASED ON SALES or REALTY
Testimony Taken by the Examiners
Said to Show That Farms Are sell.
ing for Over Four Times What They
Are Assessed For.

According to reports current in Off
cial circles the assessment of real
property in Maury county will be
boosted by the state board of tax
equalizers to something like four
times the present assessment. For
several months experts, statisticians,
attorneys, witnesses and officials have
been busy making an examination of
taxable values in this county. The
work is not yet finished. but 1t has
proceeded far enough to give some
idea Of what the results will be. It
is said that the examiners have found
that the farm lands of the county are
actually assessed for taxation at "a
per cent of their real value as shown
by the sales made during the past
two or three years. Z,
An assessment at actual cash value
is the goal sought by the. state board
of tax equalizers so that according
to these estimates, the landed proper
ty of the county will be increased by
seventy.six per cent in the assess
ment. In other words a farm that is
NOW assessed at $2,40O will be assess
I'd at approximately $4,000
Attorney John Shelby Coffey, who
rpresents the state board of tax
ed,alizers in this and other counties
ofNhe seventh districts, is not yet
really to give out the actual figures as
he Mates that the investigation has
not Seen completed The values will,
howaer, be boosted to put the as.
sessmnts on an actual cash basis
goes Without saying.
II itis true that the porperty of
the equity is now assessed at only "a
per centof the actual value, the as
sessmentof Maury county should be
increasedtrom s15,Oo6,O 1000 to s5O,Ooo.-1
900 If 1t isssessed at actual value. It|
is not expected that there will be any
material inrease in personal proper
ty and the pwn lots will not be in
creased By aF such Percent as It Is
admitted thaRown property is assess
ed higher tim country property
hence the totas Valuation of the coun-
ty will probabl. be nearer three than
four times whasit is, now,
Many witnesse from various sec.
tions of the equity are being called
before the examiners and it is said
that there is a wild variation in their
estimates of actuakalues. However,
the examiners are going to be gov
erned, it is said, larely by the actual
values, as shown in NE sales of real
estate. AS stated tbse sales show
that property is on thewhole assessed
at "a per cent OF itsactual selling
price.
According to press rports the as
sessment of Stewart coaty has been
completed and the prope,y values of
the county increased from something
more than two millions ! over six
millions or about in propttion as 1t
is stated Maury county VI be in

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Ills, Aug. 12.-Bearish
sentiment continued to dominate the
corn market today except as to the
September delivery. Anxiety of shorts
in that month as to the measerness OF
arrivals gave a decided upturn to
September. On the other hand rail-
road labor difficulties and develop
ments in the movement to combat the
high cost of living had a weakening
influence prices for December and
May deliveries. Opening quotations
which ranged from the same as yes
terday's finish to / 3-Sc lower includ-
ing Sept. 100 1-2 to 1.91 and Dec.
1852 to 1853 were followed by ad-
vances for September and by feeble
rallies in the new crop months.
Scattered buying made the oats
market comparatively firm. After
opening lac to 1-Sc up including
September at "a 1-2c to a "a the mar
ket sagged a little and then rose to
above yesterdays finish.
There was virtually no business in
provisions. Sharply higher quotations
on hogs discouraged buyers and made
sellers extremely cautious.
Trade lacked volume, especially in
the September option which toward
the last receded somewhat after i'm

relieved. The market closed unsettled
