Assessments On Incomes Show a Large Increase
Rockingham County's 1934 income assessment under the lower exemptions rose to 587.86 with other counties and two cities reporting. Shenandoah County gained 947.91 over 1933, Goochland led with 11 829.66, Campbell and Accomac showed notable gains, and Floyd and Gloucester posted increases.
