Paying Our Share
North Carolina is spending large sums for schools,
highways and other public improvements.
When taxes are fairly levied, and the public moneys
are wisely expended for things that raise the general
standards of living, good citizens must cheerfully
shoulder their share of the burden of taxes.
Southern Railway Company takes pride in being a
good citizen of North Carolina and giving a full mea
sure of citizenship. Its properties along 1,200 miles of
lines in 47 counties of the State are now assessed for
taxation at $94,000,000, compared with $44,000,000
ten years ago, and $24,000,000 twenty years ago.
In the State of North Carolina our tax payments last
year amounted to $1,600,000, an average of $4,400
a day.
We take satisfaction in thus contributing our sharo
\ '
to the general welfare of a State whose prosperity
is inseparably linked with our own.
