• The annual report of the city Ucenae
Inspector, R r A. Ewing*, shows that
there were less forced collections during
1907 than 1906, despite a great increase
In business licenses, this fact serving
to show that the business houses of
Atlanta paid their licenses more readily
In 1907 than In 1906.
The report follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and General
Council:
T beg to submit my report for the
year ending December SI, 1907.
"The amount of forced collections for
this oflfce for the year was $7,596, a de
crease, as compared to the previous
year, of $324.10. This can be account
ed for by the closer Inspections given
and timely Invitations to all new busi
ness to get right by calling on the city
clerk; nnd I am glad to state that these
invitations are generally taken ad
vantage of.
"The total Increase for general busi
ness licenses over 1906, as shown by
the city clerk’s report, amounts to $10.-
740. Hacks and drays show a gain of
$492.
"I can also state that this depart
ment finds less efforts made to evade
payment of proper licenses than here
tofore. would-be violators being known
and their surroundings carefully noted.
“I want to urge that all peddling
wagons, whose licenses are Issued for
no less period than the end of the
year, will be badged, and I hope some
Councilman will Introduce this resolu
tion in the council.
"I recommend that before fl. /a*, are
issued for payment of new licenses,
that a list of the delinquents be fur
nished this department by the city
clerk, in order that the list may be
correct when turned over to the city
marshal for collection. This extra in
spection will save much time, trouble
and expense, as now experienced by
three other departments.
"1 deeply aprpeclate the aupoprt ex
tended this department by the gentle
men of the tax committee nnd by the
efficient city clerk and his office force.
Respectfully submitted,
"R. A. EWING.

Uncle Sam Pays $3 a Month
For Postmen’s
Fares.
If arrangements for carrying firemen
policemen and other city employees on
the trolley cars sro mode similar lo
arrangements made by the United
Rtates government for the mall car
rlers, the nntl-pnes order of the rail
road commission will be h good thing
flnanclally for the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company.
The government has a contract with
the trolley company whereby It pays 33
month for each loiter carrier. This Is
on the basis that each letter carrier
will take two rides dally for thirty
days, but the carriers are not limited to
the number of rlrlcs. If their business
necessitates a dosen rides they have
them, and the government pays 33 a
month for each man.
It Is estimated that I8o policemen nnd
other officers of tho police department,
150 flromen nnd 25 members of the
sanitary and waterworks force rode on
the cars freo on the strength of their
uniforms and their positions. Tills Is a
total of 370 men, and if the city entered
Into a contract to pay 33 a month for
each one. It would mean 31,110 n month
out of the city trensury Into the coffers
of tho trolley company.
Such a contract by the city would
probably get the city more than It gets
the government, for tho reason that
city employees would probably use the
cars of toner than do tho letter ent-'rr*.
There Is now considerable talk o cl
a contract being entered Into, I tin
reason that compelling policemen, nre
men and others to pay car fare would
be a hardship.
In addition to these free rides, there
were 82 complimentary pass books out,
used by city officials and others. It la
declared by trolley officials that these
books were not scattered about promts,
cuously and that no member of council
got a pass book unless he asked for It.

was given him to brighten and other
wise make his hojne and his very life
happy, and that God holds him re
