Tax Law Enacted by Last Legislature Has Good Effect. , Atlanta, July 28. Largely as a re suit of the tax bill that passed the last legislature, the tax returns which are gradually reaching the office of Comp troller General Wright' will show a net increase over the returns of last year of fully $18,000,000. Out of 28 counties, the returns of which have been forwarded to the capi tol, the figures show a net gain of $1, 270,181. Of the 28 counties only seven show a decrease in taxes, and this com bined deorease amounts to only $143, 000, while the increase from the other 21 counties is $1,413,686. j The largest county heard from up to date is Laurens and the increased re turns from that county amount to more than $272,000. Only the smaller coun ties have Bent in their taxes, and it is naturally expected that the greatest amount of increase will be found in the larger counties and in the comparative centers of wealth. With the returns from the 28 smaller counties before him, it is the opinion of Comptroller General Wright that the aggregate increase from the entire state will not fall under $18,000,000, and may go considerably over that figure.
