555.0D0 SURPLUS
GIVEN CITY 81 ,
TMSL
Jump of $245,109 in Revenues
Exceeds Expectations of
. Budget Makers.
Official figures of the city comptrol
ler on Atlanta's Increase in tax reve
nue today show a surplus aboVe the
amount appropriated for the year by
council of $59,593.47. The final reports
show the total In the city's taxes to be
the remarkable Increase of $245,109.
In making up the budget, the finance
committee anticipated an Increase of
1181,203.96. This was considered by
many to be excessive.
The total revenue from realty and
personal taxes In 1911 was $1,688,768.
The anticipated revenue for 1912 was
$1,869,971.96. The actual receipts will
reach $1,929,565.43.
Instead of being short in revenue, as
was predicted by some, there will be a
golden nest egg In the city treasury at
the end of the year, unless council gets
busy and spends it before January 1.
Big Increase Due to Eaualiring.
The Increase is principally due to the
agitation for an equalization of lax as
sessments. The total Increase in as
sessments is $19,373,743. The assess
ments In 1911 were $135,101,491. The
assesnjents for 1912 are $154,365,234
The realty assessments amount to
$907,623,866. The personalty assess
ments amount to $46,741,368.
Since the agitation for tax reforms
was begun two years ago, assessments
have been Increased more than $35,-
000.000.
The increase in the personalty and
realty taxes of the public utility corpo
rations Is $11,597.82, In 1911 this tax
amounted to $180,295.86. In 1912 it is
$191,893.68.
Taxable Values Tripled In 10 Years.
Atlanta’s taxable values have tripled
in ten years. In 1902 the total assess
ments were only $57,369,612.
It Is surprising that the street tax
shows a decrease. Every voter, except
those exempt by old age or military
service, must pay a street tax. In 1911
the total was $15,655. In 1912 It Is $15,-
607. The sanitary tax. $108,890.49, is an
*- Increase of $4,360.50.
When the finance committee .of coun
cil meets In January to make up the
new budget It will take the figures ot
this year us a basis. The committee
will estimate an increase in the revenue
for 1913 equal to the increase of 1912
over 1911.
The real importance of the tax fig
ures is that the finance committee will
estimate that It has approximately
$250,000 more money to spend In 1913
than It was able to appropriate in 1912
All the city officials agree that the
tax assessments are still very low, es
pecially on central property.

TASTE? SMELL AND
HEARING RESTORED
4 Simple, Harmless Remedy
Quickly Relieves Ca
tarrhal Deafness.
The thousands who suffer the mis
eries of colds and catarrh and claim
they have never found a cure can get
instant relief by simply' anointing the
nostrils with Ely’s Cream Balm.
Unlike internal medicines which up
t?et the stomach, or strong snuffs which
only aggravate the trouble, this cleans
ing, healing, antiseptic Balm instantly
reaches the seat of the trouble, stops
the nasty discharge, clears the nose,
head and throat, and brings back the
sense of taste, smell and improves the
hearing. More than this. It strength
ens the weakened and diseased tissues,
thus protecting you against a return of
the trouble. This remedy will cure a
cold in a day, and prevent its becom
ing chronic or resulting In catarrh.
Nasal catarrh is an inflammation of
the membrane lining the air passages,
and can not be reached by mixtures
taken into the stomach, not- can it be
cured by snuffs and powders which only
cause additional irritation. Don't
waste time on them. Get a 50-cent
bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from your
druggist, and after using it for a day
you will wish you had tried It sooner.
Mothers should give the children Ely's
Cream Balm for colds and croup It
’s perfectly harmless and pleasant to
,ake. (Advt.)

| AUTO BANDITS HURL
BRICK INTO WINDOW;
OFF WITH DIAMONDS
CHICAGO, Nov 26.—With five suspects
under arrest and another band of five still
at large, together suspected of ten au
tomobile robberies witbin a few hours,
a new pair appeared early today and
robbed a Jewelry store in West Garfield
boulevard.
The nonchalance with which the last
pair carried out their robbery amazed the
police. The effrontery of the bandits has
been taken as an Insult to the department,
and, aroused by the wrath of indignant
citizens whose homes have been robbed
with impunity by the auto robbers, the
officials were taking steps today to fight
the bandits with their own chief weapon—
an automobile.
The bandits leisurely drove up to th e
jewelry store in West Garfield boule
vard. One of them stepped out. threw a
brick through the window, picked up a
trayful of diamond rings, resumed his
seat In the car, which was started down
the fashionable boulevard only after the
rear door of the machine had been closed.
J. A. Hesselbaum. the proprietor, ran
out of the store wringing his hands, but
the robbers were a block away and beam
ing the speed limit. Police believe thfe
pair belong to the large gang that se
cured $7,000 cash, clothes and jewels, in
raiding fashionable North Shore homes.

The actual trial lasted exactly 88

nesses were examined, the defendant
made his statement, and two arguments
were made. But the jury so far has
not arrived at a verdict.
