The normal school question will be

electing teacher*.
The board realises that the order
compelling so many of the teachers to
attend a five weeks' normal schol dur
ing the summer, without pay and be
fore they have had a vacation of a*
much as a week, has created great dis
satisfaction among the teachers, and ft
Is probable that the order will he modi

It seems that the board Is In favor of
holding the normal school later than at
first planned. It Is ulso po«ilbl*. that It
will not continue as long as five weeks.
Luther Z. Rosser, president of the
board, spoke to the teachers ThursJuy

seph M. Brown dissented, and an
nounced that his reason, would be giv
en out later. The order Is to go Into
effect In ninety days or September 2.
This long postponement for making
the order effective was caused by two
considerations. First and most Impor
tant, the commission wanted to give the
legislature an opportunity to take any
action It might desire. A second con
sideration was embraced In the fact
that the railroads had planned the
usual summer rates, and tho commis
sion did not want to disturb this ar
rangement.
The order a, passed by the commis

“To The Georgian Is due the greater

"Without t>» movement originated

The Georgia Railway and Electric
Company srilt pay In atate taxes this
yaar more than twice what It had ex
pected when Its returns were made to
the state comptroller.
The total valuation of the street rail
way and allied properties has been
rained by agreement to more tfian dou
ble the valuations returned by the com
pany. To be exact, the valuation Is
advanced from $4,703,363.03 to $0,750,-
000, an Increase of $4,027,031.37.
President Preston 8. Arkwright called
Thursday afternoon upon State Comp
troller W. A. Wright, at the letter's of
fice In tho capitol, and a long colloquy
resulted. The comptroller had somo
time since stated that the returns of the
company were far too low. In view of
the capitalisation,. Income and real
value of the street railway lines. Presi
dent Arkwright made strong statements
showing the enormous proportion Of
taxes In Fulton county which would be
paid under the new valuations, but
Anally agreed to the advance. No ef
fort will he made to fight the ruling of
the comptroller.
Not only was the valuation of the
street railway company advanced, but
the Atlanta Gas Light Company and
the Atlanta Northern railway, the Ma
rietta line, must also pay taxes on
heavily Increased valuations. These
companies are controlled by the same
Interests is the street railway proper.
The Atlanta Gaa Light Company's
valuation was Increased from $000,000,
the figures made by the company, to
11,500,000. the valuation set by the
comptroller, nn Increase of $600,000.
The Georgia Northern* valuation was
Increased from $180,000 to $220,000, an
Increase of $70,000.
As compared with the accepted re
turns of last year, the Increase In valu
ations Is startling. An Increase of no
less than 180 per cent Is shown over the
valuations of tho Georgia Railway and
Electric Company lp that year. Tho
gas company’s Increase shows 66 2-1
per cent over last year’s figures, while
tb Atlanta Northern's Increase
uni,Hints tO"36 1-8 per cent. Tho aver
age percentage of Increase for the al
lied companies over the accepted valu
ations of tho last year Is 114 per cent,
or 16 per cent more than double.
One of the most significant features
of the Increase In valuations of tho At
lanta street railway and gas properties
Is Comptroller Wright's announcement
that he Intends making the valuation
of these properties tho brads for tho
value of other railroad, electric rail
way. light and other similar corpora
ls t"
tlons. As their gross earnings are com
pared to the grow earnings of the local
companies, eo must their taxable valu
ations bo fixed. Tho valuation of the
Georgia Railway and Electric Com pan
■l>be
will I
„ made the basis of valuations on
steam railroads os well as electric lines.
This will mean an enormous Increase
In the assessments on railroads In
Georgia. It will mean an Increase of
about $8,000,000 on the valuation of tho
Atlantic Coast Lins, It Is pointed (mt.
and proportionately large additions to
the valuations of other stsom railroad
lines. It Is calculated that the taxable
values of corporations In Georgia will
be Increased not less than 120,000,000.
In 1000 the three corporations Includ
ed In the figures of President Ark
wright paid in state, county and muni
cipal taxes the total sum of $90,507.00.
Or this amount the state received $21,-
970.14. the state tax rate being $4.80
on the thousand.
If the rate Is fixed at the same flg-
three companies will pay Into tho state
treasury $38,400. Of couree the county
und municipal rates will be higher and
add enormously to the total amount.
Comptroller Wright Is very much
gratified at the agreement reached, lie
believes that It will make easier hla
task of securing Increased returns from
the corporations all over tho state.

Reports made to The Tradesman for the weak ending June 6 show
that during the six days 110 Important new Industries were established
In the Southern states. Of this number the capitalisation of 93 aggre
gates $23 038,000. At the same averuge the capitalisation of the 110
concerns would amount to $27,947,000. There are 17 of tbe Industries for
which no capitalisation Is reported.
The accompanying list shows the character of these new concerns in
Alabama. Arkansas, Georgia and Texas. It Is an Interesting study.
