THE FITZGERALD LEADER, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1910
Our Tax System
Dear Sir:
I acknowledge receipt of yours
of the 14th inst. and in reply
thereto beg to say that the law in
express terms requires the presi¬
dents of all hanks of this State to
make returns to the tax receiver
for taxation of the market value
of the shares. In other words if
the surplus is not represented in
the market value of the shares of
stock as returned to the. receiver
then the surplus should be return¬
ed independently of the shares of
stock. This statute has been in
operation to my certain knowledge
for thirty years, and the tax re¬
ceivers of this State specifically
instructed as to their duties in re¬
gard to the taxation of bank shares.
Yours very trulj-,
Wm. A. Might,
Comptroller General.”
Editor Leader:
I cannot understand why our
present County Tax Receiver has
every year, for political reason-,
handed back to our banks about
$1,500.00, claiming that he had no
authority for taxing their sur¬
pluses. Our Tax Receiver con¬
strues the law as he sees fit, when
the Comptroller has been advised
time and again that a bank’s sur¬
plus must be taxed the same as its
capital and nearly every town and
county in the state insist on this
where their Tax Receivers have
back bone enough to follow the
law. A Tax Payer.
Planters
Since cow peaas are so
scarce and velvet beans so
plenty see us on prices.
Yes we sell every thing
you plant, have a complete
seed department. The Bee
Hive Grocery.

Wm.H. Marston Receiv¬
ed Re-appointment
The many fi iends of Postmaster
Wm. IT. Marston are congratula¬
ting him over his recent re-ap¬
pointment as postmaster of the
Fitzgerald office, announcement of
which was received this week.
Mr. Marston has had charge of
the local office for the past nine
years, and with an able corps of
assistants, the affairs have been
managed on a most business-like
scale, satisfactory both to the pub¬
lic and the Postoffice Department
at Washington.
T. P. Littlefield Dea.d
Mr. T. P. Littlefield died Sun¬
day at his home on Ocmulgee
Avenue. He had reached an ad¬
vanced age, living all to himself
and for sometime had been in fail¬
ing health. Mr. Littlefield was
an ex-confederate soldier and had
lived in this city for a number of
years. He is survived by one
brother in Florida. Interment
took place at Evergreen cemetery.
