WANTS MORE TAX
MONEY FROM TERRELL
STATE COMMISSIONER SAYS
THIS AND So MORE COUNTIES
SHOULD INCREASE VALUES.

The state tax commissioner, H. j..
Fullbright. has addressed circular
letter to all tax officials in which he
calls for an increase in assessments
the present year amounting to $2Z5,-
100000. Copies of the circular have
been received by Terrell county ottl-
Gals.
Ninety-seven counties, including
Terrell, are below the 35 per cent. OF
values which Mr.. Fullbright has sug-
gested as a basis for taxation,
and they are called upon to raise
their assessments this year accord
ingly.
The money is needed by the state,
says the tax commissioner, and IT
must be had from the taxpayers.
Land, it seems, will be expected to
bear the greater part of the lncreas-
ed burden.
Terrell county land was returned
in 1919 at an average of 9.69 an
acre. and the commissioner estimates
its real average value at $40 an acre.
The county's returns last year were
S5,942,575 and the real value IS es-
timated at $20,170,300. Under the
proposed plan the percentage OF tax,
es to be paid this year would be raised
from 25 to 40, which would necessl-
tate an increase in returns OF S2,-
O16,98O, making the total returns
|$7,O59,555.
