CITY DELIVERY WAQONS
MUST PAY LICENSE.
The Supreme Court Decldei a Cue ol Ii-
tereit to Mnolclpilltlss.
The following, from the Macon Tele
graph of thin morning, is of interact to
Albany bnolness men and to the mom-
ben of the Oily Connoll who have the
fixing of the annual llcenao ordinance.
The question decided by the Supreme
Court is one which has been a bone of
contention in Albany at different times
for a number of yean:
■The olty's delivery wagons must pay
a license. The Supreme Court of Geor
gia has settled the question by deoiding
In the oity's favor in tho teat oase
brought by Mr. Holmes Johnson, the
dealer. In the test, nearly all of the
ownen of delivery wagons were Inter
ested. Tho case was began in the re
corder's court lnBt Janaary, and it was
held that the tax mnst be paid. A cer
tiorari was taken to the Superior Court,
aud there the city won. An appeal was
then taken to the Supreme Ooart, and
again the olty won.
‘The nmonnt involved is abqnt (600.
Eaoh one-horse wagon or dray haa to
pay $16 per year, and oaohAwo-homo
conveyance need for the same purpose
must pay $H0 per annnm. On the 10th
of next January, license taxes on all
snoh business will again be doe. Bonds
have been made to secure payment In
allot the instanops where the ltoense
was not paid last January.
“The contention of the owners of the
delivery wagons was that the wagon
was a part of the business; that a coal
or wood dealer coaid not condnot his
business in this day and time without
delivery wagons, nnd that the merchant
mast have one or more in his business,
in ordor to compete with other mer
chants, and this being trne, the city had
no right to tax the business and then
impose an additional tax on tho wagons
need in the business.
“Alderman Morgan introdnoed inj
council an ordinance to exempt the I
wagons from the lloense. This waB done
soon after the fight commenced. He
was out-voted, however."

debris left by the fire whloh destroyed
Farkas’s stables eight days ago.
As was remarked In the Hbrald at
the time, there were many tons of hay
stored in the stables when the fire oo-
oarred. One pyramid of baled hay in
the northern Beotion of the bonding
contained abont TOO tons, and it was
there that the firemen had their harde-t
work. The fire ate its way deep do vn

the firemen could not extlngnish It. It
would not be possible to state how many

days, and a large force of hands was
