LICENSE TAXES
BEING FIXED
Near-boar License Will Probably Re
main the Game—Proposition to In
ere mo tho Tax on Dogs, Especially
Bull Dogs—May Ba Tan Dollara Par
Dog.
Tho llcena# and tax ordinance for
tho year 1109 la In the hands of tho
printer, and proof sheets will soon
be given to tho committee ao that
tho entire ordinance can be submitted
to the mayor and council for pass*
age before the first of January.
The committee have been at -work
for several lays on thle ordinance,
starting at It early that It might be
perfected and printed In time for the
It Is understood that* so far as the
committee la concerned, there will be
but few changes In the license* for
the new year. They have gone care
fully over the ochedule. Item by Item,
and had with them License Inspector
Herrington, who has given them the
benefit of his experience and obser
vation.
Ho far as can be learned there will
be no Increases. Tho near-beer li
cense, fdr instance, will remain ao
Inst year, $100 for retail and $230
for the wholesale.
One of the changes will bo In tha
taking off of tho license on the-bmall
contractor that was put on last year.
For Instance, under the present sched
ule, the painter or tha carpentar, or
the house mover, or any other person
who does work under live hundred
dollars, must take out & license. This
Includes the carpenter who mends a
fenc« for twenty dollars or such sum,
or the man who paints a Jlouso for
one hundred dollara. The committee
are of the opinion that only the con
tractor who takes Jobs oyer five hun
dred dollara should be required to pay
license, and It Is probable that thla
will be so fixed as to exempt all''do
ing work under fire hundred dollara.
It Is also probable that there .will
he some change as to tha fruit street
stands. Under the present ordinance
puch stands are prohibited, but this
Is gotten around In various ways. V
Is intended that they will be positive
ly prohibited by the law being niada
to cover all evasions, or that they
will be allowed and recognised as la*
Ultimate place* of business Just tha
same as any store.
In addition to these changes there
may be n number fit additions that
have been made necessary by the
many new kinds of businesses that
spring up. and of wnlch the license
Inspector baa taken note during the
year.
Another nuttier that may come up
for discussion before the tax ordi
nance |a passed, Is an Ipofeasod tax
on dogs. There are some who think
thnt ono dollar Is a very small amount
to allow dogs to run the street Thla
opinion has been brought about by
the number of mad dogs during' the
past summer, and the number of pro
pie that were'bitten and were com
polled to take tho Pasteur treatment
at considerable expense. Another rea
son Is given why thla tax ehould be
Incrense,! is because of the number
of vlrloiis dogs being brought Into
and kept In the city.' It Is clallned
that tho man who keeps o hull dog
ought »to be made to pay more than
one dollar to keep him. One life,
they claim. Is worth all the bub dogs
op earth, and yet the owner Is al
lowed to keep one and to lat him run
the streets, ready to bits a child,
or even a grown person, for only rtne
dollar. Another reason for Increasing
thla tax Is that there are too many
dogs anyhow.
It Is rlalmad that the city has lesa
revenue from this sourre than any
other for the renaon that when the
cost of Imposing and collecting, thla
tax ta considered, the dog tax la a
burden on the city government, a bur
den on the dog. and a burden on the
dog catcher, it la proposed to make
the tax ten dollars, and to fine the
dog catcher bwenty-flve dollarator
every dog he falls to catch and fclfi.

FOR MACON SHIPPERS
■ —r—s I •
Has Been Adopted by the Southern
Railroad and Will Be Effective
on Its Lino After First
of January.
All ahlppera over tha Southern
Railway In Macon will be Interested
to know that the uniform bill of lad
ing prescribed and required by th«
Interstate commerce commission will
go Into effect on Its lines on and after
January J. 1909, w'lth slight modifi
cations which will, however, be In ac
cord with the commission's rulings.
The announcement !* made by the
Houthern Railway so that its patrons
will have plenty of time In which
to have similar bills of lading forma
printed In the required style and
terms. Every effort will be made by
the Houthern Railway In co-operation
with the merchants to insure the stto-
cess of the new bill of lading.
The following letter from Freight
Traffic Manager J*. Green, of tht
Houthern Railway, explains the attl-
tudn of the company:
"To Agents and Connections: Please
bo ndvlacd that It has been deter
mined not to put the uniform bill
of lading Into use at points on *tl
Houthern Rallwoy until January 1.
"It la our Intention to usa the bill
of lading approved by the Interstata
commission at all points on the Houth
ern Railway on and after January 1.
"An effort la now being made by
Interests representing the water and
rail routes to bring about aome alight
modification In the term* of the so-
called uniform bill of lading necea
nary to Its application to water and
rail traffic, and some other slight
modifications to meet local condition!.
None of these prospective changea
shall affect the terms approved by the
commission/’

EXTRA CLERKS FOR
MANY PACKAGES AND LETTERS
CONTAINING MONEY NOW BE-
ING GENT FAR LANDS ACROSS
THE 8EA BY FOREIGNERS IN
MACON.
Two clerkn have been detailed to as
sist tho registry clerk at the lorat post-
office as this department In now hav-
Ipg Itn bindent season of the year.
Registry Clerk Slocum states that
already the sending of money to for
eign lands ban commenced, and that
within th© last few days he hnn han
dled orders for persons In China. Ja
pan. Abyssinia and other places equal
ly as dlntant. These orders are near
ly always sent by foreigners residing
In thla country, but sometimes the
senders are people whose relatives are
missionaries or foreign agents, and
who must not now be forgotten At
Christinas time. Whllo the bulk of
the business of th© registry depart
ment at this time of the year Is con
fined to letters containing money, there
are a great number of packages, small
Christmas gifts and remembrances,
also handled. Only yesterday a box
containing two bolls of cotton was
*ent to Paris. France, the tender -being
a native of that country but tempor
arily located in Macon.
The Indications are that the registry
business of the Macon postoffice will
b© heavier this year than ever before,
tha ruth having commenced earlier
than la usual.
