GENERAL AVERAGE IN CROP REDUCTIONS Counties warring on the revalua tion act. are not expected to bring the general average in property re ductions under 15 per cent from tho 1!M 0-1920 valuations. When the county commissioners, acting under .instructions '.-from the 1921 General Assembly, first began pruning, taxationists in the State de partment thought revaluation was going to be- utterly destroyed. Action of the cctriniissioners in many coun ties virtually meant its repeal and first reports reaching Raleigh indlca ted that the knife was being sunn deep Into the heart of former Cover nor Dickett's taxation system. Thero was none who thought the slashing wo'ild enr! before it was too late. But later reports to the State tax commission, which is functioning un til May 1, when Col. A. D. Watts as sumes the duties of taxation com missioner, show better signs of re valuation life; the tax clerks believe it is going to live arter all. From about lifty counties that havo so far sent in reports, the average reduc tion in assessed property valuations will barely exceed 25 per cent. With one hundred cowntIes.reporting.it is the gem ral average will b great, around 15 per cent.
