Georgia to Raise Slight Tax Rate for 1915
The state faces a $7.9 million drop in veterans aid and will likely raise the tax rate from 4.5 to about 4.7 mills to cover expenses. Georgia's economy, shaken by the European war, earned $85 million more last year yet still shows a need for careful budgeting ahead of an extraordinary General Assembly session to set appropriations for the next two years. Officials are urged to provide current figures quickly so the legislature can match spending to income and adjourn efficiently. The main challenge is adjusting allowances to fit available funds, with Governor Harris expected to limit session topics to imperative matters. Continuous study of solvency and institutional support is essential.
