Macon. O/i., July 4.—With former
Alderman lien L. Jones on hla trail,
Major J. F, Hanson, president of the
Central of Georgia road and of the
Bibb Manufacturing Company, will
probably have tho legal fight of his life
In the near future upholding ft contract
made with the city of Macon about
thirty years ago.
With the city, forced by Mr. Jones
to attack this contract In the courts,
It will be up to Major Hanson to dem
onstrate that the paper Is valid and
this in the faco of repeated declara
tions by city attorneys for years past
that It is not worth the paper it is writ
ten on.
For years this contract has been like
nnhquo’s ghost In Macon polittffl.
will not ddwn and every two yea re It
bobs up and demands are made that It
be thrown aside, and each time the
council Ignores Its legal standing and
falls back upon the moral question of
upholding a contract made In good
faith.
Exemption Provision.
When Major Hanson decided to build
cotton mills In Macon, he secured a
contract with the city to exempt hlo
mills from taxation, except upon a
nominal sum—something like $50,000.
Later this amount to be paid upon was
voluntarily Increased by Major Han
son, when there was a particularly loud
public clamor, until now It Is a neat
sum.
Tho position taken by the city has
bean that the contract was made and
that It would place the city of Macon In
a bad light to repudiate a contract It
made In order to get capital Invested
in the city at n time when capital was
not anxious to drift Maconward. The
result haa been that even councils
elected hy reform movement* have de
clined to repudiate the contract or to
test Its validity In the courts.
Large Mills.
City Attorney Min tor Wimberly and
other city attorneys have declared to
the city law-making bodies that the
contract wns Illegal. It has been point
ed out that It Is In direct violation of
the state constitution of IS77, which
prohibits the exemption of taxes. Tho
contract was framed prior to the ratifl
cation of the state constitution, but tea;
not Anally consummated until after tpe
constitution want into effect.
The Bibb Mills are a big Institution
In Macon. They are capitalised at over
a million dollars. When the city coun
cil has relieved Major Hanson from
pitying taxes on this property, other big
concerns like the McCaw Manufactur
ing Company and the Acme Brewing
Company thought it proper to get a lit
tle rake-off from taxes, and this has
been done. Tho precedent had been set
and various councils thought It only
ftilr to help other concerns as well as
the Bibb Mills.
Jones' Fight.
Now comes Ben L. Jones with a pe
tition to the council asking that taxes
on the Bibb Mills be collected. The
council did not feel tike taking the In
Itlntlve In the matter of repudiating a
solemn contract,
Bo far no action ha* been taken on
Mr. Jones* petition by the council. If
no action, or action that suits Mr. Jones,
Is taken, he will go Into the courts with
mundntmiM proceedings and compel the
city to attack Major Hanson's contract
ami collect the taxes.
Mr. Jones announced today that man
damus proceedings would be his next
step, and that he was going to fight the
thing through to a finish and foot the
bill* out of Ids pocket.
A live wlro In Macon Is Ben L. Jones.
He is one of the wealthiest men In the
city, nnd Is one of the most public-
spirited. He say# that by relieving
these big corporations from paying
taxes the council places ths burden
they should bear on the balance of the
cltlaena and Increases the poor man’a
taxes. It Is stated that many membera
rtf council welcome Mr. Jones' action in
tho matter, for it relieve* them of the
embarrassing position of voting to re
pudiate a contract the city made years

vaunted "system” that has been put In
use at the Chicago sub-treasury to
guard against a second edition of the
