dere d the present assessment on horses
and mules -in Pickens county raised 76
per cent, and owners will be required to
pay the increased assessment at nex~t
tax-paying time. As stated in The
Sentinel some time ago, the Tax Comn
mission reCently asked Auditor Townes
to furnish it with a statement of the
1pumber of horses and mules and their
assessed valjue in this county, and it was
thought at the time that the informa
.V~on was wanted with a view to raising
the assessn~ents.
The county auditor's books now show
there are 1458 horses in Pickens county
assessed at $38,000, and 3128 mules as
sessed at$984,000. Theincreased assess
ment wvill adid about $28,000 to horses
