KOI R MILLS TAX
IN MISSISSIPPI
JACKSON, Miss,—The revenue
measure reducing the state ad valor
em to front six mill* to four mills has
passed the special session of the Leg
islature and is assured tjie signature
of Governor Bilbo. The bill reserves
the right of countries to levy up to 10
mills additional.
The measure is based upon the new
100 per cent assessment of property,
and will, therefore, produce more
revenue than the larger levy under
the old system of valuation. The new
law gives the Governor and the State
Equalizationy Boa^d the authorit
to set new tax assessments on the
counties in conjunction with the coun
ty boards.
