OF
Maintained by Direct Taxa
tion to be Inaugurated in
the City — Last Night’s
Council Meeting.
A special meeting of the city coun
cil held last night to consider the ad
visability of inaugurating a plan of di
rect taxation for the purpose of main
taining a system of free city schools
was attended by members of the coun
ty board of education, the city school
board and other prominent citizens.
This meeting was the outgrowth of
a meeting of the city school board last
Friday, at which a resolution was
adopted requesting the city council to
take immediate steps for the inaugu
ration of a system of city free schools,
to be supported by direct taxation, it
being declared that the time had come (
when Albany could no longer hope to
do her full duty to the school children
of the community under the plan
which has been In operation since the
Albany Academy was built. It was
argued that the building of tho new
high school, which is to be ready for (
use at the beginning of the fall term
of school, but served to accentuate the
need of a more up-to-date system.
All the members of council were
present except Alderman P. H. Jones.
After Mayor Rawson had briefly
stated the object of the meeting, Al
derman Tarver, chairman of Friday’s
meeting of the city school board, re
ported the action of that body. Aider-
man Tarver stated that he had ap
pointed the entire board a committee,
to report the result of the meeting to
council because there had developed a
difference of opinion in the board as
to what was best to be done.
An Animated Discussion.
The matter was brought Jjefore
council by a motion of Alderman Tar
ver that the resolutions of the school
board be adopted as the sense of coun
cil. The motion was seconded, and an
animated discussion, participated In by
most of the gentlemen present, en
sued.
No opposition to the plan of direct
taxation for the maintenance of the
city schools developed, though It was
argued by several gentlemen that a
plan previously agreed upon be given
at least one year’s trial before being
abandoned.
This contention, which was pressed
by Messrs. J. S. Davis, John D. Pope
and H. M. McIntosh, was that when It
was agreed to build the high school,
an understanding existed that It would
be operated during the first school
year under the system which had been
in* existence since the Albany Acad
emy was established. According to
this plan, the money apportioned to
the city schools by the county board
of education from the funds derived
from the state would be supplemented
by incidental and matriculation fees
and by appropriations from the city
council and board of county commis
sioners. it was urged that there ex
isted a tacit understanding to give this
plan a trial of at least one year, after
which, If the arrangement proved un
satisfactory, a change might be made
to a system of . direct taxation.
Mr. L. B. Welch and Mr. R. H. War
ren led the argument for the immedi
ate inauguration of a direct tax sys
tem. Mr. Wlarren urged the impor
tance of having the city schools feel
that -they are not dependent upon eith
er the city or county government; that
they have certain money of their own
derived from direct taxation' which
will be available as needed. He pre
sented figures to show that the school
tax would probably not exceed 15
mills, and certainly not 20, but he con
tended that even if the cost should
prove greater, the people of Albany
should not hesitate to meet it will
ingly.
Both Mr. Welch and Mr. Warren
were in favor of the addition of special
courses to the work of the schools—
manual training, physical culture, do
mestic science, vocal music, sight
reading of music, etc. They estimated
the cost of a model system, giving the
very best instruction at both the Al
bany Academy and the new high
school, at about $13,500, of which only
about $6,000 would have to be raised
by direct taxation.
The discussion was carried to great
length. Ex-Mayor Lippitt favored the
direct taxation plan, but thought a
levy of 10 mills would be ample. Mr.
A. W. Muse declared himself in favor
of the same plan, though he did not
express a desire to limit the amount of
the tax.
Aldermen Ehrlich and Jones took
part in the discussion, but Alderman
Tarver was nbt heard from until late
in the evening. When he finally rose
he had a good deal <o say. He ex
pressed himself as mortified that the
question of a few thousand dollars
should be considered with such delib
erate painstaking when the education
al interests of the community are at
stake. He characterized the discus
sion of the minor matters as puerile,
childish and cheap. He declared him
self in favor of a tax big enough to
raise whatever money is needed to
give Albany the best public schools in
the state, the question being simply
whether the people of the city are
willing to dig down into their pockets
and pay for what is needed for the
education of our children. He said
that as a member of council he was
willing to vote for a school tax in any
amount, and did not think the matter
was one which called for explanations.
These were evidently the sentiments
of the other members of council, for
when the motion of Alderman Tarver
| was put to a vote it was adopted with
out dissent.
The business of framing a bill to
cover the ground is entrusted to the
city school board. The bill will be in
troduced at the next Session of the
legislature, and will give authority for
levying the special school tax and ap
plying it as*‘ desired, the money de
rived being dintributed among the
white and colored schools of the city.
Policeman McDonald is having it
out with an attack of measles, and will
not be on the force for the next few
days. He is but slightly ill.
Mr. S. L. Bowen, of Wayne, W. Va.,
writes: “I was a sufferer from kidney
disease, so that at times I could not
get out of bed, and when I did l could
not stand straight. I took Foley’s Kid
ney Cure. One dollar bottle and part
of the second cured me entirely.”

The school question is being dis
cussed in the drug stores and at street
corners. One gentleman stated em
phatically this morning that it wasn’t
a question of money at all. Which is
very gratifying. If the money ^de is
safe the otlier will come around all
right. *
