General William A. Wright. Of the
five mill assessment, 400 mills goes
to general PURPOSES, including the
support of the common schools, and
10 mills to the sinking fund to re-
tire matured bonds of the state.
The assessment is the maximum
permitted by law, and applies to all
property in the state subject to
taxation, ad valorem.
Comptroller General Wright stat
ed Saturday that the tax diCests
show a decrease of 100000 chiefly
in the assessment of real estate,
which made it necessary to impose
the maximum rate. The railroads
assessed their property, at $166, 274,-
96S, or an increase of 81, SOY in
valuation.
The comptroller general denied
the recent statement in the legisla-
ture by Representative Bussey, of
Crisp county, that the railroads in
Georgia assess their property at a
valuation Of only % per cent. He
stated that an error was made in
computing the rate through over
looking the fact that some of the
most valuable railroad property in
Georgia, including the Western and
Atlantic, Georgia railroad, and Au-
gusta and Savannah, are exempt
from state taxes
