Korthen presented a com munication from the Business Men's Gospel Union, which was to be pre sented In duplicate to all of the minis terial associations In the city. Gov ernor Northen stated that It was the destre of the Gospel Union to work with the ministers and under their di rection for the uplifting of the people of ^tlanta^pnd of Georgia, and to that end a committee of five had been ap pointed to confer with representatives of the different denominations. Bach denomination was asked to appoln two delegates to meet at the Young Men's Christian Association parlors Tuesday pose of determining whether a sc] tax shall be levied. The subject matter of the proviso Is germane, and Is not at variance with the title of the act” The Georgia railroad resisted pay ment on the grounds that the levy was unconstltutonal, because no machinery for levying and collecting on railroad property was provided. At any rate, they contended, the levy for 1905 was R»t collectible. Inasmuch aa It was the tax acts one year preceding, am departure from this custom was au thorised by the act. In the opinion, written by Justice - - • . Evans and concurred In by all the oth- r-versed solely on the contention that the levy for 1905 was not correct. School Districto Knocked Out. Bemuse the McMIrhnnl act requires that the levy shall be made on all prop erty appearing on the digest of the tax rec eiver the districts are knocked out. Railroad property-does not appear on such digests, a a they make returns to the comptroller general. As the meas ure now stands, the necessary machin ery for assessing the railroads Is lack ing.

White woe appointed to confer with the Business Men's Gospel Union relative to a plan for the evangelisation of the city. The question of the appointment of this committee, as requested In a com' munlcatlon from the business men's or ganlsatlon, threatened to cause a re. newed discussion of the Torrey-Alex- under matter, but this was nipped In the bud by the statement that the com mittee would have no power to bind emor Northen termed a “free, full and fraternal conference." Rev. J. H. Bakes, presiding elder, and Rev. C. O. Jones, of St. Mark church, were ap pointed to attend. ' On motion of Rev, J. W.
