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 Dr. Lyon’s PERFECT Tooth Powder Cleanses and beautifies the teeth and purifies the breath. peed by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century.
