Mayor Poole and Members of
Finance Committee Working
Out New License Schedule
Americus city officials are busy
•today working out a new license and
tax schedule to be in effect during
the tax year beginning Tuesday. )
This schedule, which will be pre
sented to council Tuesday night foi
final adoption under a suspension ,
of the rules, is being prepared by
Mayor J. Elmore Poole and mem- j
hers of the finance .ommittee oi
council, who are charged with the
duty of providing revenue J’or th*
operation of various city (depart-!
ments. - « lift.Cfll
With an anticipated I’edueton in
ad valorem tax-values, due to a
number of causes and with a num I
her of business which paid licerr e'
taxes here last year now closer,'
the finance■•committee faces rather
a difficult problem, it was stated
this morning. This problem con-i
sists in bringing about an equitalT
distributon of the speeal tax with
out placing an ad-led tax upon
any class of Wlsiness here, and
members of the committee, it is de
clared, are giving the -abject t;i<
deepest possible consideration.
With the introduction of the sje
cal tax schedule at Tuesday’s me.-'
ing of council, Mayor Poole is ex
pected to present the annual bud-'
get for the year 1921, .is required
by the terms of the Pace budget
law under which the Poole adminis
tration has operated since its in
duction into office. What this will
provde, Mayor Poole declines even
to indicate, it being his purpose to
bring about an adjust mem. between
the budget and anticip-.it-d revenue
• before making any an'nouncement
of contemplated expenditures.
ft is known, however, that the
budget will provide very little, *
perhaps nothing at al] for perman
ent improvements, such as addition
al,street paving dr the yredion of
new school buildings. Such expen
ditures, if made during the budg-t
year, must be provided out of bond
money, and members of council have
not yet been sounded at to* the prob
ability of calling a bond election.

[INTERESTING TAX
SUIT JUST FILED.
ATLANTA, Dec. 31.—The right
lof the government to levy income
[ tax assessments against money re
i ceived by a corporation on an in
surance policy carried on the life
of an official is the basis of a suit
filed today in United States dis
trict court by the Fulton Supply
company against J. T. Rose, feder
al collector of internal revenue in
Georgia.
The petition asserts that the gov
ernment assessed $7,709.42 plus in
terest of 81.140.7(5 gainst a sum of
$10,043.82 received by the company
on an insurance policy at the death
of W. H. McDonald vice-president
and general manager and the efforts
to obtain an abatement and a re
fund were overruled by the inter
nal revenue collector.
Mr. McDonald was a valuable em
ployee of the company whose death
, was a greater loss to the concern
[than the indemnity, the petition
states in contending that the assess
ment and collection were illegal.
