Counties Send Books to the Comptroller General in 1912
About two dozen counties have sent property tax digests to the Comptroller General for 1912, suggesting a weaker rise in value due to drought and disease. Brooks County reports a small loss in property returns after a major hog-raising area was devastated by drought and disease. Johnson County faces a small deficit with no dogs taxed, implying high canine mortality. The outlook for large gains is unlikely, urging restrained appropriations. Army worm incursions prompt a Wilkes County effort to protect crops with green parliau spray and farm aid. The Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis sues Western Union to protect its own line. Cartersville shows strong demand for a $50,000 bond issue, Rome reports acquittal of L. Starnes in a hotel shooting.
