Figures Sh(,wing Total Aniount of Taxable Property in South Carolina. Columbia, June 27.-It is expected that the comptroller general will to morrow announce th- date for the meeting of the State board of equali zation. The meeting is held during the summer, generally in the month of June or July. and the work of the board is to act upon te work of the county boards and to take any action on tax questions that is deemed nec essary. The most important resolution that came before the board last year was that affecting the assessing of prop erty at full value. This resolution, introduced by Mr. .Jeremiah Smith, of Horry, was defeated by a vote of 28 to S. As this is the year for reasssess ment, and as the county boards have been busy with the tax question in the severai counties of the State. the meeting of the bocrd this year is of especial interest. It is thought that the tax question will receive more that ordinary consideration. The tax question has been brought into the campaign very forcibly this year. As s!owvn by th com, - following is the amount of taxable property in South Carolina: Total value of real estate $136,438,358 Value of personal pfrop -arty.. ..... --.----.-- 92,664,198 Total property.. ....... 271,106,302 State tax 5 1-4 mills.. .. 1,423,30S For county purposes, taxes ...--..... .-.-. 960,664 State Board of Assessors.
