Comptroller General Warns of Large Georgia Deficit
Comptroller General William A Wright released advance proofs of his forthcoming annual message to the Legislature detailing Georgia finances. He reports a about 750000 deficit in the State Treasury despite rising assessments, and notes that the tax rate sits at the Constitutional limit. The message argues a tax equalization act could reduce the deficit and tax levy, detailing estimated revenue for 1914 and how existing appropriations for schools pensions and government must be funded from nonad valorem sources and a small property tax. The comptroller also recommends repealing the fee reports law as its purposes have been met and continued enforcement would waste state funds.
