Farmville, Prospect Districts
Top County's Rural Tax-Payin
Town Pays Nearly
Half Of All Tax
Levies Collected

The Town of Farmville provides
slightly under half of the total tax
levies collected in Prince Edward
county, and Farmville and Pros
pect magisterial districts follow
after the town as tax revenue pro-
ducers.
Those are several facts cleaned
from the recently-issued report on
1859 tax assessments and tax
levies prepared by Commissioner Of
Revenue v. c. Womack for the
board Of supervisors.
Real estate assessments through
out the county total $6,214,410. On
the current levy Of $1.60 per 500
valuation, real estate produces a
countrywide tax income of 500, 702.
Town Payments
OF the total real estate tax in
come, Farmville Corporation pro-
duces $4O,923, or about AZ per cent.
according to the Commissioner re-
port
In order Of real estate tax reve-
nue. after the town come the dis
tricts in this order:
Farmville. $15,792; Prosp pee t.
SIC, 1853; Hampden. $9O46; Lockett.
$3.50: Buffalo. $6,140 and Leigh,
s., 1873.
The report also calculates the
county distribution by tax levies
received for tangible personal prop
erty, machinery and tools and mer-
chants capital Jumped together.
The o m b n d assessment of
these three tax cat egories is
$5,716, 1868 and they produce a total
of $49, 1894 in tax income based on
current levies. Womack, in calcu-
lating the tax income Jumped these
three taxes together under the
heading "other levies," as con-
trasted with the major producer Of
income, real estate.
/ Other Levy Totals
4 The town again leads in levy-pay-
ing with the 1859 levy against the
three assessments paying $50, PSI.
Following the town in order Of tax
income production are:
4 Farmvile District, $3.50; Lock
4 estss Is, eo6 -+tae heavy concentration
Of dairy production there is a con-
tributing factor giving Lockett third
ranking in this category; Prospect.
$5.345; Hampden, A,433; Buffalo.
3,N61, and Leigh, $2,744.
| OF the STAG, O98 total of all tax
income produced, exclusive Of pub
/ lie service corporations, which are
not figured in the Womack distri-
button report, the Farmville Cor
poration and District combined pro-
duce about 56 per cent.
Negro Totals
| The Commissioner figures also
include the total of distribution of
tax income paid by Negro citizens
of the county. Of the STAG, 098 raised
by all taxes except public service
corporations, these cltlZenS pay
SIG, $50, or 1871 per cent on county
wide basis.
Broken down into the Negro per-
centage of all taxes paid within
each district and the town of Farm
vile, the report shows this break
down:
Farmville town, $6,5l2 of the tax
income, or ~ per cent; Prospect
district, $4,l55, or 26 per cent Of the
district total; Hampden district,
50 1889 or 2l.43 per cent Of the dis
trict total; Leigh, $l,844 or PA per
cent: Buffalo, SISSY, or II per cent.
and Lockett, $2,181, or l5.2 per cent
Of the district total Of tax income
paid.
The county's total assessment Of
property for 1889 was $14, 555. 1877, a
new high. That produced total reve-
nue. from the SLIGO levy of $187, 722.
