The city taxe assessors’ drive to put all residents on the tax books was reported Saturday to have in creased the number of taxpayer several hundred. It was found that in the list of public school patrons, people with one or more children receiving cdu cation at public expense, a large number were paying ho city taxes In one negro school with more than 1,000 pupils the parents of only 55 paid taxes last year. A smaller proportion of tax evaders was found in the white schools which have been checked by the assessors.

BIG FUND PROBABLE 18 SHE FORESTS Passage of Forestry Bill By Congress Pleases Conserva tionists ATLANTA, May 6.—The passage of the McNary-Clarke forestry bill in the lower branch of congress is gratifying to all who perceive the urgent need of conserving tne coun try’s woodland resources, it was pointed out here today by forest conservationists. That the measure had so little opposition among the lawmakers is, it was claimed, a tribute to its own reasonableness, as well as to their interest in the great cause it is de signed to serve. If it is to pass the Senate, however, between now and the expected adjournment of con gress on June the first, it’s friends mu.-t be kept vigilant, it was as serted here. Georgia is especially concerned in the McNary-Clarke bill in that it provides for a fund of some two and a half million dollars to be used in cooperation between the federal government and the states in forest fire prevention. ■ If the bill now pending in the Sen ate,, it was asserted here, did no more than open away to effectual cooperation for saving the coun try’s timber supply from fires, on (that account alone it would be of incalculable value to the common weal. The statement is made here that the passage of the legislation will mean a vast deal to America and a vast deal to Georgia. POWER FOR F« NOTRRDISTMtT ATLANTA, May 6.—One of the greatest developments of the near future, in the view of Atlanta elec trical engineers, will be the elec trfication of the farms. While cities and industrial communities have in recent years been enjoying ample supplies of electricity for various purposes, it was pointed out, the farms of the country are in many instances still using oil for light ing and Old Dobbin for power pur poses. Only one farm in thirteen on a average in American now uses elec tricity figures received here show. Independent electric plants are used on 300,000 farms while the number enjoying central station service is 200,000. The great field cf 6,500,- 000 farms and 32,000,000 people is at present almost untouched in the way of electrical development. The problems of getting electric ii'y in available voltage to the farm from the power lines of the coun try, and at a cost low enough to tuake it profitable for the farmer to use it, are now being worked out by a committee of experts for the Na tional Electric Light Association, it was stated here by power company officials who are members of the association. A very rapid development is go ng on in the matter of producing electricity on an extensive scale and transporting it over long distances, it was asserted here. Right here in this section of the South the devel opment has been remarkable, it was shown. INJUNCTION HEARING AGAIN POSTPONED WAYCROSS, May 6.—C01. E. K.
