WOULD RATHER Be.
FIRED THAN RAISE
TAX SAYS WATKINS
Equalizers Order One
More Boost for
Coming Year
TO MUCH PROTEST NOW
Last Raise of 20, Per
Cent Caused Much
Dissatisfaction

Putnam, in common with all other
counties in the state, has been rated
by the stat etax equalizer for an in
crease of 10 per cent for the fiscal
year, following the 20 per cent raise
that was made for last year, and in
common with other counties pro-
test is going up here, Tax Assessor
Ed Watkins saying he would rather
resign than attempt to make the in
crease.
The increase in various counties
varies, and it is noted that protests
have already been filed in Hillsbor-
ough and Duval counties. Others are
expected to follow suit.
Mr.. Watkins said this morning
that the increases in valuations would
not be so difficult on real estate, but
that it is impossible to make an in
crease of 10 per cent in personal
property valuations, coming just aft
err his increase of last year, where
some business firms were increased
from 200 to 400 per cent.
The question of reducing the mill
age is not up to the assessor, but he
believes that even with a promise Of
reduced millage it will be impossible
for him to make the raises which he
has been directed to make.
