TAXATION IK THIS STATENJ

The Variations from Year to Year
in the Number of Acres of Land
Ee turned. j
The following is an extract from
Mate Auditor Ayer s address be
fore the County Offlsers' eonyention
held at Morehead City last week
Let us first review some facts
and hgures concerning the listing
return of land a species of prop?
erty which is always visible, and
which does not decrease or increase
in natural measurement.- The most
reliable authority accessible shows
that there are in the State 52,250.1
square miles of teriitory. Reduced
to acres the area is 33,410,000
square acres. Of this area within
State bounds, however, there are
3,670 pquare miles, or 2,348,800
square acres of water.- These fig:
urea show the net amount of actual
land in the State to measure up to
31,091,200 acres. The number of
acres of land returnable for taxa
tion in 1895, according to thelAud
itor's report for that year, was 28,-
019,748. It appears, therefore, that
there are 3,071,452 acres of land in
this State which are not listed for
000 acres. It was valued at $102,
300,000. At this time' land and
real estate of every character was
held, to be worth more than any
body holds it to l)e worth today,
and yet, strange to say, in 1895
28,000,000 acres of land are valued
at $110,000,000. So according to
the assessment or valuation which
hat prevailed, it appears that 28,
400,000 acres of land were worth
$8,000,000 less in 1884 than 28,
000,000 acres are worth in 1896.
This, it seems to me. shows some
radical defect and irregularity In
our system of assessment; for the
common crv from one ena ox toe
State now to the other is that land
is worth from 10 to 25 per cent,
less in 1896 and 1897 than in 1884
and 1887. ; ' j
If it should-so happen in the
valuation and assessment of land
for 1897, or in, the next general as
sessment under our , present sys
tem, that the valuation of land
should be made to correspond with
the present general sentiment as to
its comparative value, we would
sustain in this particular alone a
loss in taxable values of "from ten
to twenty five million dollars; and
this atthe present rate of taxation
would mean a loss in State and
county revenues of from $63,000 to
$150,000 in one year. !
The irregularitiesin listing, of
course, begin in the counties, and
it may be interesting to note some
illustrations as to the differences
that have occurred there. In doing
this we will. only- notice the returns
for the last four years, viz. : 1893,
1894, 1895,and 1896 For instance.

Another county (Cumberland),

'94,492,000 acres; in '95, 484,000
acres, and in '96 483,000 showing a

a decrease. Similar instances could
be cited from nearly every county
but these will serve to illustrate the
fact that something in our listing
system needs looking after. Only
one county (Tyrrell) in the state,
during the past four years has re
