ACT THE TEST Special. School Levy Law is Up held. AMENDMENT OP ACT IS NOW ASSURED In a decision handed. down Monday morning the supreme court upholds the .McMIchael special school levy act. In so. far as it relates to the counties, but knocks out the districts. While the case affecting the county of; Hancock Is actually reversed, It Is /;<?;/ that ”che (ox imposed under the act of 1905 was not Intended to be retroactive hi Its application, and could not be lawfully collected that „ ■' l ' •Jt Is hetd,.however; that "the coun, tr authorities pf any county adopting the provisions of this act may levy the tax autho.'zed thereby upon the prop erty of railroad companies, the assess ment thereon being based on the re turns made to the comptroller general. The county authorities may. obtain a certified copy of such returns from the comptroller general on demand, to be used In the assessment and levy of the tax." It Is stated further that the act not unconstitutional because of tho C vlso In the second section of the y of the act, whereby Incorporated towns operating a public school system are not, without the consent - of tho municipal authorities. Included In the election held In tho county for tho pur pose of determining whether a school tax shall be levied. The subject matter of the proviso Is germane, nnd Is not at variance with the title of the act” The Georgia railroad resisted pay ment on the grounds that ths Jevy was uncon.tltulonu, because no machinery for levying and collecting on. railroad property was provided. At any rate, they contended, the levy for 1905 was not collectible. Inasmuch as It was ths settled policy of ths legislature to pair tax acts one year preceding, and ni departure from this custom was au thorlxed by the act In the opinion, written by Justice Evans and concurred In by all the oth ers. the Judgment of the lower court Is reversed solely on the contention that the levy for 1105 was not correct Seheol Districts Knocked Out Because the McMIchael act requires that the levy shallbe made on all prop erty appearing on the digest of the tax receiver the districts are knocked out. Itallroad property does not appear on such digests, a* they make returns to the comptroller general. As the meas ure now stands, the necessary machin ery for assessing the railroads Is lack ing. The third and fourth sections of the set, providing for the levying and col lecting of school districts tax, are de clared Inoperative. This test case came.up from McDon ough school district, in Henry county,, and the Southern railway resisted the payment.
