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." AT THB THIRD EXPLOSION WITHIN SEVENTY- TWO HOURS.
