Cannot Estimate Loss. "County officers must hand down the reapportionment of values to , ' . " " . townships, special school tax districts, road (llRtrirt and all siih-riiiriainna f the county that are effected by "the reduction. The loss in taxes to the counties, townships and ' school dis tricts cannot be accurately determin ed, owing to the wide diversity of tax rates. Estimates place the amount at - more athan$ 100,000 in the case of the Atlantic Coast Line alone. "More confusion has been added to i the already demoralized system of (taxation that has resulted from the surrender of all supervision of county incomes. County officials must look elsewhere . for money with which to conmpensate for the losses in railroad taxes, and are finding it more and more difficult to make both ends meet in the confused system that has de- velooed since the ttlinr f the, revenue system of the State began.
