CARTERSVILLE, GA„ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 111, 11101. WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE. Very Few Bills of General Impor tance Passed- A FLOOD OF LOCAL BILLS- Atlanta Gats a Five Hundred Thoi - sanS Dollar Dspot—Fertilizer bl.l 10 Help Farmers. The general assembly which ad journed last Friday night by limi tation, did not pass tnoie than !it tcen or twenty general bills, and very few oi' special importance. Among the first measures in in terest whicii went through the leg islature there is the Howell reso lution providing for the payment of the interest on the bonded debt for 1902 out of the public property the Atlanta depot bill, the fertilizer bill and the appropriation bills. The constitutionality of the Howell resolution will have to be passed upon by the supreme court before it ea<. become elec tive. Judge Candler lias alreuuy decided favorably upon it, and it is now in the supreme court. This bill and the depot bill have already been signed by the governor. The fertilizer bill by Mr. Jordan, of Jasper, is considered one of tht most important measures to the farming intereststhat went thiongh the legislature. This measure raises the standard of tertilizers to be sold in the state so that no fer tilizers can be sold hereafter with less than 12 per cent of free phos phoric acici or plant food. The percentage under the present law is 10 per cent. The bill does away with the lowest grade of fertilizers, and provides for only two grades in the future, standard and high. It also makes pro isifcm for the more careful inspection of fertiliz ers and the manner in which they shall be sold. The important appropriation bills winch went through mclmle the Soldiers’ home bill appropriat ing the $19,500 insurance money for the rebuilding of the home and $15,000 for maintenance and equip ment next year; the bill appropria ting $20,000 for the support of the state militia during the coming year; the resolution appropriating $62,500 to make up the deficiency in the amount to be paid for indigent soldier’ pensions; the resolution ap propriating SII,OOO to makeup a deficiency in the printing fund, and the resolution appropriating $2,000 to supply the deficiency in the con tigent fund and $5,780 to supply the deficiency in last year’s pension fund. The house and senate passed be tween 200 and 300 local bills of all kinds, many of which have already been signed by the governor and the communities affected are now acting under them.
