TAX VALUES " Additional figures relative to the recent tax assement show some in teresting facts in connection with the valuation of property inTlehderson ville. : 1 ;W - According to the figures compiled from the tax books by Mr. J. A. Laughter the increase in real and personal property over - last year is $250,461,00.: ' V - The increase in real estate alone, amounts to $126098.00. - :- This is considerably more gain than ever the most optimistic had ex pected and comes in the nature, of a pleasant surprise to those who have kept close watch over the growth of the city. An increase had naturally been anticipated but the . figures showing such a phenomenal growth in the course of one year were whol ly unexpected. Continued on another galley. . The figures showing the gain in the valuation of real-estate alone are per haps the better index to the. prosper ity of the city. Thev emphasize more than ever the real tangible worth of even the smallest plot of, ground within the incorporate limits of the city. ' Then too, it must be borne in mind that these figures do not represent the valuation of any., corporation in the city. In the figures, given above t the consideraable amount of money invested in incorporated " property was excluded. It can not be 'said then that the increase was due to any other cause than the natural inherent worth of the 'property brought about by the substantial growth of .the city Each "summer means added impetus to this growth, not only for the sum mer season but throughout the entire yearYas well. While the greater num ber of the guests at the close of the season, pack their tents and steal away, as it were, still each year some appreciating the advantages of a home here, make arrangements for a more prolonged stay and are event ually enumerated as constituting a part and parcel of the landed gentry. When the Good Roads Movement is finally consummated a still stronger impetus will have been given to the rapid increase in property valuation not only for the city but for the entire county of Henderson.
