In Buncombe county there are
112,648 acres of land, estimated to
be worth ft, 664,687.00. according to
the 1919 statistics compiled from the
tax levy books. Last year there was
Hated In this county 318,416 acres
with a value totaling 16,630,867. From
these figures it appears that 6,773
acres have disappeared. This dis
crepancy in the 1919 list Is said to be
due partially to the large areas which
have been cut up and divided Into
I lots, therefore not given In as acreage,
and partly on account of the failure
on the part of owners to list their
land.
County Auditor E. M. Lyda and his
office assistants are now busy check
ing over the various township list
books, and are re-checking- the town
ships against each other where land
owners had transferred their listing.
On account of the system of books
kept by the county auditor, it will be
possible to ascertain who failed to list
his land last year, and this is now be
ing done. Persons who gave a full
address will be notified by the auditor
and given' an opportunity to pay the
tax they had endeavored to dodge.
They will be charged double tax how
ever, as such is the state law. Those
falling to remit when notified by Ihe
auditor or those who are found to
have failed to properly lint their1
property will fall into the hands of
the solicitor, and criminal proceed
ings will be instituted.
It Is learned that an average of
111. SI per acre is the value of Bun
combe property. Of course those fa
miliar with this county easily under
stand that the great number of acres
undeveloped and rough mountain land
Is the reason for this low average.
