WILL OPENDRUCE
GRAVE NEXT WEEK
London. Dec. 27.—To avoid a crowd,
the date of the opening of T. C. Druce's
grave Is .being kept a secret. It la be
lieved It will be Monday or Tuesday.
Robert Caldwell, the Staten Islander,
who teatlfled that he burled lead In
the coffin. Is under bail In New York,
charged with perjury.
If the coffin contains no lead it la
certain that Druce and the Duke of
Portland are different men. If lead la
found In the coffin. It appear, tba duke
i-d a double Pe
tal revenue thla year will exceed 3300,-
k
Next year, the Increase will probably
be three times as great, with a new cn.
agulatlng basin, new flltere, a new res
ervoir possibly, a new 38-Inch main and
about 15 mile, more of lateral mains
In the city.
New Business Licenses.
In regular business licenses, not In
cluding hacks, drays and whisky, the
city will receive this year ncnrly 815,-
000 more than was received last year.
The Incraaae of the first eleven months
of this year over the flrst eleven
month* of lost year woa 312,000.
From defaulters and those who re
turned their taxes and then failed to
pay them, the city will receive this year
about 3135,000. as against 3127.000 last
year.
From the Georgia Railway and Elec
tric Company, which pays the cjty X per
cent of Its gross receipts, the city will
receive. It Is aattmated. about 35.000
more than waa received laat year.
The elty{ in short, will receive nciirly
3100.000 more thla year In the regular
Increase of revenues than all the whis
ky license money this year amounts to.
Next year, the Increase In the water
works receipts, the saving of 320.000 on
the new lighting contract, the further
Increase of taxable, values, and the
further increase of regular business li
censes will make more ridiculous the
contention that the city will suffer from
the toss of tha whisky license money.
Tha Incraaae in business licensee will
b* materially increased bacons* of the
stores now occupied by saloons will be
ogcupted by new business houses.
Alderman E. C. Peters, chairman of
the llnancv committee, states that the
“extraordinary expenses" of tha city
government, such aa tha oudltorlum-
arnior.v. the Pryor-at. underpass and
the hospital for contagious diseases,
amounted to 3215.000, and he estimates
that the extraordinary expenses next
year will hardly exceed 375.000.
The saving In the extraordinary ex
penses next year. It l« seen, will offset
the loss In whisky licensee.
All Item* considered, the city of At
lanta should be better off by about
3200.000 next year without whisky li
cense money than she la this year with
It.
What State Will Gain.
Georgia will lose 3242,000 In revenues
by prohibition, but the Increase
property values of 372,000,000 for 1907
will bring 3380,000 more Into the state
treasury next year.
The state’s revenue, for 1(06 from
tha liquor traOe was 1242,000. The
completed return, for 1907 are not yet
In tor the last quurter, but, the esti
mate Is for about the same amount,
perhaps a little more.
From bucket shops and prohibition
combined the state loses total revenues
of 3300.000. It will be seen that thl,
loss la more than made good by taxes
from the normal, natural Increase, of
property value,.
Hut there are several special raxes
going Into effect next year, together
with some Inereases that will bring In
several thousand ’dollar, In revenue.
Among these la 35 on every draft arm
of a soda fountain; 35 per month on
eneb moving picture show; 3300 on
lockers; Increase In pawnbrokers’ tax,
making It 3200 Instead of 3100; In
creasing tax cigarette dealers from 310
to 325; tax of 3200 on amusement
parks.
Of course, no estimates can be made
an the amount of revenue from these
sources, but It will be considerable.
TUCKER SPORTING Ci-US

Tucker, Ga.. Dec. 27.—The Tucker
Sporting flub left last night for their

According to s statement nude by
Alderman Joseph Hlrech, chairman of
tho board of trustees of Grady hoe-
pitlU, tho proposition to permit medi
cal students to do bedside practice In
the charity wards of the hospital will
be brought up tor Anal action at tho
meeting of the board next Tuesday
afternoon.
"The board will probably take action
on the proposition at that time’’ said
Alderman Hlrsch. “nnd It may be tbst
a compromise will be effected whereby
students may practice In the charity
wards with the consent of the pa
tients.”
A denial that ward teaching has been
allowed at the hospital for several
years was made Friday by Dr. W. s.
Kendrick, one of the physicians who
opposes the plan.
Are Wards of City.
“I stand prepared to prove,” «»ld h< ’
"that such has not been the case. The
Inmates of the hospital are the wards
of the city, and I do not believe that
these poor, afflicted, helpless victim*
of sorrow, suffering and disease should
be subjected dally to the Inspection ot
large numbers of medical students.
"I am positive that public sentiment
In the city of Atlanta Ls against using
the charity wards of Grady hospital to
further the Interests of any or all men-
teal colleges In Atlanta. I am satDfl'
that the good women of Atlanta •n
not Indorse any such movement tin*
will subject these unfortunate being-
especially women, to the dlsturbsnc
that would ensue If sueh .prime*
wore granted.”
In conclusion. Dr. Kendrick sta*
that It such a plan were edopten
should Include every medical canes* •*
