Attorney for Savannah Company An
nounces Back Money Will Be Paid.
Savannah, Ga.. Dee. 31.—The city
will net shut clown the sliest railway
power house, as threatened by the
mayor, and the cars will continue to
run. Neither will the company’s pow
er house and other property on Bol
ton street be advertised and sold.
Hon. Pope Barrow, counsel for the
I street rail way company, announced
; last night that the $3,500 due by the
| company for specific city taxes will
| be paid today and all differences amic-
i ably settled.
The trouble -was that the railway
! company owed for three years’ back
: taxes and was indisposed to pay, the
| matter being in dispute in the courts.
I About three years ago the city im-
j posed a specific tax of $100 per mile
{ per annum on street railways, dou
ble tracks not included. The street
railway had been paying a smaller
mileage tax per annum and concluded
that the new tax was excessive and
decided to fight it in the courts.
The city won its case in the superior
court and before the state supreme
court, where the matter was heard by
a full bench.
The railway company then appealed
to the United States supreme court,
where the matter now rests.
Should tne street railway company
win its case there the city would have
to pay the money back with interest.
