(Continued from page 1.)
computing the ad valorem
tax rate After the property
assessments have been report,
ed to the Comptroller an 1
totaled by him, and the Leg:*,
lature has passed the appro-
priation bill, the matter of fix-
ing the rate is made by lav
purely a matter of mathemnti.
cal calculation.
"When the act creating the
Automatic Tax Board w a »
passed, the la.v d; I not provide
that incomes from the ;tni-
tentiary system should be de-
posited to the credit of the
general revenue. The law re-
quiring this was passed by the
last Legislature. Since it rep.
resents a part of the money
that will be received by the
general revenue fund, it im-
proper that it should be con.
sidered in determining what
the tax rate should be. At all
times the revenue from the
penitentiary system is prob-
lematical and no one can tell
w hat it will be. The board took*
the reports available as to th •
income of the penitentiarv
system over a period of siv
years and found that the aver,
acre income was approximately
200.000 a vear. In fixing
the tax rate, we have estimated
the income of the penitentiary
*ystem will l>e approximately
and have taken that into con.
sideration in following the
statute in fixing the ad valor,
em tax rate. Strictly following
the statute, -and estimating
the income of the penitentiary
svstem as outlined, the fii^urt*
show that the rate should b-
2;.4c. Making allowance fur
the fact that each year from
the occupation taxes, the in.
beritance taxes and other like'
tares there is penerallv an in-
crease in the amount paid into
the Treasury, the board felt
*afe in fixine the rate at 25c
Xext vear the ra'e should be
even a little le*.< than this, and
•t is reasonably apparent tlint
the ad valorem tax rate for
the two years of this bienniitm
