THE RAISE EXTENDS WAY INTO THE MILLIONS. j Kia-.il titfuros Announced by the Board of Ktiuallzitio::?Con;i)rtriSon With Those f ! of Last Yetr-Som? Small Koads DocI j bled. ' j Columbia, S. C., Aug. 22.?The long . j availed assessments of the railroads of *! the state, about which so much has e ] beep. said. and. against which the rail- " roads made such a fight, have at last c i been parsed upon dually by the State board of equalization of railroads, and yesterday they were at last made public. k Only the bare assessments per mile are given, and ho compilations or comparo isons announced. Therefore it is im. possible to give the exact amount of .I thr* rai^e, but by a careful computation 0 ; from the data given, it is found that fl| i the raise will amount to scarcely less n , tnan Si 1,000,000, and may be a couple . 4 of millions higiier. This year there is M " a much larger number of miles of road r being operated in the State, and the toU-I raise is in some measure due to that, - but the actual raise per mile is very >fl| ; large. The total valuation of property . r for each road was not ?lven out by the ; H if comptroller, and consequently cannot ^ J be compared with the figures of last i year. Then again several roads, name- M . iy: The Augusta and KaoxvlUe,""^ Greenville and Laurens, Greenville, H . j Lauren., and bp;irtanburg, bavannan n ! Valley. Carolina, Kaoxville and Wass tern, and Spartanburg, Union and Co" lumbia do not appear on this year's re- fl * ports at all as such roads, for they have ' V J been absorbed by others under one JH s name. JH 1 The raise, however, is so great as to 9 cause a general belief that the railroads, M e especially the big ones will make a fight 19 2 | before paying such taxes and carry the fl v- i matter into the courts. |9 The figures, as announced by the fl " | comptroller general, and the compari- H t" | sons with the figures of last y^ar, are j given below: 1|| : j Ashley River Railroad?Last year i Si 1,000 per mile; this ytar ?13,000. 3 Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line?L ist fl 'i vear $13,500 per mile; this year $18,)' 000. s Biackvilie.
