Giles County Assessment (1875)
The Pulaski Citien says: The assessment for Giles county for 1874 was $72,139.27, and our collector, W.G. LEWIS, has collected and paid over $63,646.79. Thus by a mathematical calculation it will be seen that Mr. LEWIS has collected and paid over 88 1/2 cents in the dollar, while the Bedford collector has collected only 85 and Marshall only 84. This, too, when he had a much larger amount to collect than either.
