In order to get the views of all In terested parties In amending and en larging the demurrage rules of tho rail road commission at the postponed hear ing on September 24. Chairman Mc Lendon Wednesday prepared a general address to the carriers and shippers of the state. This subject Is arousing very great Interest at this time, since It is a mat ter that touches directly the Interests of so many people. Chairman McLen don's address Is as follows; \ September 11. 1907. To Ihe Carriers and Shippers of Geor gia; Tho act of 1907 repeals tho remedial clauses of the act of 1906, but dues not take away from tho commission the power to promulgate rules governing the question of demurrage. The change In the law Is one of great Importance and the question of demurrage which the carrier will be permitted to charge on the one hand and the reciprocal demurrage which the shipper is to have the right to demand on the other Is now before the commission. The ques tion of amending and enlarging the present rules governing the subject will be considered at a hearing to be had on September 24, 1907, and It Is ear nestly desired by the eommlsslon thnt the discussion of this question shall be fully participated In by all parties at Interest. • S. G. M’LENDON. Chairman. RAISE Tlllt RATE FOR COURT HOUSE Commissioners Will Proba bly Fix It At 6,5 Mills On Dollar. IN GREAT DEAAAND New York, Sept. 11.—The city’s $40.. 000,000 4 1-2 gold bond issue was sub scribed for more than five times over, according to the bids that were opened in the comptroller’s office yesterday afternoon. More than 900 bids wera received, 886 of which will be tabulat ed, the others being Irregular and therefore thrown out. Tho bids ag firegated $207,156,420. There were two bids for $40,000,000, Ihe entire Issue. One was made by what la known as tho Morgan syndl cate. The Abraham White Bond Com pany, composed of Abraham White and Samuel Byerly, both of whom have won fame as "shoestring bidders” on bonds, akin bid on the entire $40,000,000. Officials of the comptroller's office say that the White Company will likely get at least $16,000,000 if not $18,000,000. BELIEVE AAURDERER R. R. COMMISSION POSTPONES ACTION After devoting practically the entire wenHion to a consideration of the gen eral question of reciprocal demurf&ge. the railroad commission took no action In the matter Monday and continued the hearing until September 24. There were many prominent railroad men present at the hearing, and the ques tion waa thoroughly discussed. The petition filed by the Farmers’ Union asking a special rate on com pressed cotton was postponed for thirty days by consent of the petitioners and the railroads* Inst end of waiting until bonds for the new court house nre voted and sold, 'the county commissioners will In nil probability at their called meeting Thursday fix the tnx rate at about 6.5 mills on/the dollar. This will menu n revenue of about $460,000, of which $100,000 will lie used to begin building, with the provision that If bonds nro passed nnd there Is more money on hand next yenr than l» needed n correspond ing reduction will be made In the tnx rate, There Is n little chance thnt the $300,000 In iiotids for the court house will he voted for this year. The registration I* unusually henry nnd ns people nre always indifferent about bond Issues It would he*bard to get out the two-thirds vote which Is required by law, The commissioners therefore nre going nhend making tdnns to raise the money without depending upon the Income that limy he derived from the bonds. Colonel Clifford Anderson, chulrinnii of the hoard. Is of the opinion thnt It would be better to mint* tho money nl together by til root taxa tion extending over several years, but thnt will be left to a vote of the people. The nddltlounl 1.5 mills on the dollar Is not con sidered heavy, ns the county added 2.5 mills when the Jail was cfected a number of year* ago. Last year the tnx rate for the county was 5 mills and the state fax 4.8 mills. This year tbo state will prolmhly be 5 mills nnd the county rate 6.5. mills, making a total of 11.5 mills on the dollar, or 'a little over I per cent, ns compared to a total of 9.8 mills lost year. There Is also the probability that more than $300,000 will Ik* needed to erect the court house, particularly If the county and city go Into the same building.
