DRUGGISTS TO FIGHT
MALT SELLING TAX
Eighteen Who Have Been Served With
Notices By License Inspector
Want Ordinance Repealed.
With the object of killing the ordi
nance levying a 3200 tax on all sellers
of white hops and malt extracts, the
eighteen prominent druggists who have
been served with notices by License
Inspector R. A. Ewing, as appeared ex
clusively In Wednesday's Georgian, will
go before the tax committee at Its next
session.
Whether or not the ordinance Is
erased from the books the druggists
will have to pay the aggregate sum of
33,600 Into the city's coffers, so It has
been ruled by City Attorney James L.
Mayson, who holds that the ordinance
has been violated In the past and Its
removal will only apply to the future.
A similar case to this one came up
several weeks ago, when Inspector
Ewing was successful In making five
of the largest wholesale liquor men In
the city pay a rectifying tax. The tax
was stricken from the books by the
tax committee when the liquor men
appeared before It, but the liquor men
were made to pay 3100 each, never'
theless.
It Is understood that the pharma
cists will make a hard fight to keep
from paying the tax and much Interest
has been awakened In the outcome.

•ATLANTA WATER
WILL RE MUDDY
Filters aud Coagulating
Basin Not Equal to the
Demand.
Thirsty Atlanta will have to drink
muddy water during the closing day*
of the hot summer months.
The only alternative, so It was stat-
I In the report of Manager Park
Woodward to the waleg. commission
ers Wednesday afternoon. Is to en
large the rapacity of the filters and
the coagulating basin.
The report touched upon many points
of widespread Interest In a community
which prides Itself on Its pure water
and the abundance thereof. It set
forth with numerical proof that, with
the present equlpmem and the enorm
ous amount of water being used. It
would be Impossible to maintain i
proper fire pressure throughout an ex
tended conflagration. Further It show
ed that water was being forced through
the niters at a rate double their ca
pacity and that during the month of
July all previous records were broken
by the amount of alum It was neces
sary to us* In the coagulating baslna
Using Much More Alum.
The average amount of alum used Is
1-5 of a grain to a gallon of water.
During July 1.4 grains was used to a
gallon. During the month mentioned
another record was broken when the
gauges showed 300,649,000 gallons of
water had been consumed In Atlanta.
During July, 1905, there were 386,760,-
300 gallons used. This 15,000,000 gal
lon difference would have probably
been even greater had the weather
been normally hot.
Manager Woodward used os an ex
ample of the present equipment's ca
pacity, the test made by the South
eastern Tariff Association at the Cand
ler building July 30. At that time
sure of 150 pounds. It took
an
two of the pumps,
boilers
It was then found
that the boilers were not sufficient to
hold up a 100-pound steam pressure.
Seven were fired up. This left only
two as reserve. Even with the seven
boilers running, only a 96-pound steam
pressure could be maintained.
The report states further that had
the test lasted a half hour longer. It
would have been necessary to turn the
muddy water from the reservoir Into
the clear water basin so as to have
sufficient water for the pumps. While
the test was being made every filter
In the filter house was In operation.
The report ends by explaining that It
will soon be Imposslblo to keep up
with the amount of water used regu
larly In Atlanta, and that before the
summer Is over It will be found neces
sary to turn the muddy water of the
reservoir Into the clear water basin.
More Time For Investigation.
The special committee appointed to
examine the books of .the water do
partment In connection with the reslg.

more time In which to carry on the
Investigation. The committee Is com
posed of F. P. Rice, chairman; D. N.
