Special to The Georgian. Macon, Oa., Dec. 21.—At a meeting of the license and tax and the finance committees of the alderraanlc board, held Thursday night In the council chamber, the subjects of licenses and finance for the new year were brought up and discussed at length.' The va rious saloons of the city swelled the treasury with a tax of $500 each for the paaL and in view of the prohibition enactment the city officials are busy devising plans to make good the deficit. Front present Indications, there will be but few lockers In the city, and reve nue must come from other quarters. That the deficit will be met with ease Is the opinion of many, for the aider- men are men of exceptional business ability. Some suggestions have already been made looking toward the equalising of license duties so that the burden In the future will fall more properly where It belongs. Heretofore soda fountains have been assessed equally, no matter how many openings each had, but a move Is now being made to assess each stand so much. Fountains under this system will pay In proportion to the number of openings. Many other changes are to be 'made, some provld Ing for a reduction of. licenses, but In the majority of' cases there will be changes toward an increase.
