Governor Candler and Comptroller General Wright will meet to fix the state tax rate for 1902. Taxable property rose about 24 million dollars since 1900, with railroad values up 4 to 5 million and telegraph and related companies adding about 4 million. Indigent widows pensions and Milledgeville lunatic asylum funding drive the rate to an anticipated 5.40 per thousand from the current 5.20, though most assessments are not expected to alter the overall levy.
