Tax Values Up
$365,922, But
Yield Is Down

The total value of taxable
property in Prince Edwar
county increased 1865 ,922' over
last years figure, according to
William j. ellis, Jr., commits
sioner of the revenue. The total
assessed value Of taxable prop
erty in the county stands at
Sis, 5O4 1873 for 1862
The taxes on this property
will yield SIPS, 567 this year,
compared tc $432,4l4 last year.
This difference is explained by
reduction Of the tax rate,
from $3.50 to $1.OO on real prop
erty and from 60 cents to 80
cents on merchants capital
The assessed value Of mer-
chants capital increased more
than any other category. It is
listed at $3.425,91 this year,
which is ,249 more than it
was last year.
The assessed value of real
estate also showed a large in
crease, going to $6.563,210, up
$l06, 200 over last year. Real es-
tate will yield the most in taxes,
$62 1927 this year. Farmville citi-
zens pay at the rate of 80 cents
on. real property, which is 10
cents lower than county resi-
dents. because of annual ap-
preparations for welfare n d
public health made directly to
the county by the town fl m
municipal taxes.
Taxes on public service cor
porations which are listed diff
ferently from other real estate
in the county, also showed a
stable increase. The assessed
value of public service corpora
tons is $2,933 .42l which is an
increase Of $99, O63 over last
year.
Tan gible personal proper
ty showed a decrease Of $44 400
which reflects the public's atti-
tude toward personal property
taxes. In almost every case the
amount Of personal property is
understated by the taxpayer.
County citizens last year list
ed S2,5l5.8Z0 in tangible per
sonal property, as compared
with S2.471. 420 this year. Many
tax officials consi der this
tangible personal property a
poor tax. because it is so
hard to properly assess. This is
one Of the reasons personal prop
erty is no longer taxed in the
town of Farmville. However,
tnlS TAX Will yield 1854 this
year.
Another category machinery
and tools, is down $3.50 from
last year. This is assessed at
$llo,9l0 this year. compared
with $l15,60 last year.
J. w. Wilson, Jr.. county
treasurer, said his office is now
in the midst of mailing out tax
statements. He estimates that
all Of the statements will be in
the mail between October 10 and
Is, and each county taxpayer
can then have his own figures
to compare with this overall
summary.

Red Cross Leaders Salute
Blood Quota assing Effort
al Pints Are
Donated During
1st Bloodmobile
By JOHN STE OK

The bottom dropped out of
blood prices here Friday.
The cost of a pint of emer-
gency blood fell from SIS to
nothing as the Prince Edward
county community met its first

commitment overflowingly.
A smooth working team of
community volunteers. SIS station
workers, eight registered nurses,
doctors and donors assaulted the
125-pint quota and Won
A og e t h er, 100 prospec-
tive donors appeared at Farm
vile Memorial Armory to offer
blood. Of these, 141 were APP
proved after the required checks
on blood pressure. hemoglobin,
temperature, ETC., and donated
pint of blood each.
Most Of the 10 who could not
donate were temporary re-
jects,'' that is. persons whose
physical condition isn't suitable
at this time. At subsequent
bloodmobile visits, their con-
dition may be changed to fit re-
quirements. and their blood
made available.
Low hemoglobin A. red blood
corpuScle count and high ;
blood pressure were two of the
major rejection causes at Fri
days first collection for the new
blood program of the Prince Ed
ward County Red Cross Chap
ter.
Quota Calculation
Included in the 141 donors
were a few volunteers from out
of the county. These received a
credit card good for six months,
and all of their blood needs and
those of their families will be
met at Southside Community
Hospital and other Red Cross
blood hospitals.
However. only Prince Edward
donors counted against the 1876
pint quota, and this was more
than met not including the out
of-cOunty donors.
Mrs. Adelaide Edwards, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Red
Cross Chapter, regarded the re-
suits in these words, 1T GER
tainly showed a complete unity
among our citizens for a COM
mon cause. Not only was the
first bloodmobile successful, but
it established a firm foundation
for a continuation of this Won

people in times of emergency.
Naturally. am very happy and
most encouraged.
Mrs. John G.. GRAHAM, chap
ter director for the blood pro-
gram, also was enthused. How
ever, she expressed her elation
in terms of expressions heard
from blood donors. Perhaps"
she said, cit can be described
best in the words of the donor
who declared, What a fine feel
ing it was to give up my own
blood for the first time so that
another might benefit, and at
that moment I was giving with
