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 GOES AFTER BLACK BEAR. Tucker, Ga..
