ATLANTANS TO PAY
$22,50 ON $1,000
FOB 1096 TAKES
Jones County’s Rate $16.20,
While Terrell Has
None at All.
Property owner, In Atlanta will pay
tfixes of $22.50 on the thousand dollar,
thla year. The city tax rate la 112.60,
the county rate $5 and the state rate
$4.80.
Reports from countlee and munici
palities on the tax rates flxed for I904
are coming Into the comptroller gen
eral’s office rapidly now, and the rate,
vary widely.
For Instance Jones county Is paying
for a new court house and has fixed a
county rate of $16.20 on the thousand.
In Terrell county, where four dispensa
ries flourish, no county tax is levied at
all and none has been for years. Bron-
wood, a small town In that county, with
a dispensary, has no taxes to pay.
It Is noticeable that the counties hav
ing dispensaries have a low rate of
taxation. Floyd, which split* the prof
its on the tank between the county and
city of Rome, has a rate of only 24.20
for the county. While the city rate
has not been reported, It will probably
be correspondingly low.
In the municipalities reported to date
Brunswick leads In the slxe of Its levy
with $14, while Hnschton levies only
$2.50 on the thousand to keep things
running. College Park assesses prop
erty owners only $3, and East point
$7.60. Columbus has a rate of $18, Ath
ens, where a dispensary flourishes, $10,
Albany $11 and Cedartown $12.50.
Fifty-four counties have reported the
tax rate for 1906. These rates run the
scale from $2.70 In counties like Clinch
and Chattahoochee, to $16.20 In Jones,
$12.20 In Twiggs, $9.70 In Pickbns and
so on down the list. Quitman has the
lowest rate reported yet, $2.20, while
Stewnrt comes a close second with
$2.50. The average runs about $5.
A study of the various returns ore
very Interesting. Crisp 1, the only one
of the new counties to report Its tax
rote up to the present, the tax payers
being assessed $7 on the thousand.

2 FEE ACTS
By an not of December 6, 1894, the
fee for chartering a navigation com
pany In Georgia wan fixed at $50.
December 17, eleven days later, that act
an re|»ealed and the fee flxed at $100.
The act of December 6 appears In
olume 2, civil code, page 72; the act
December 17 (the fee bill) appears
In volume 1, political code, page 38. As
a consequence considerable confusion
and delay often occurs In securing: the
harter for such concerns from the
secretary of state’s office.
Usually Interested parties send a
check for $50, and It becomes necessary
for the secretary to write explaining
the act of eleven days later Axing the
at $100. A case In point reached
the capltol Wednesday In application
charter from Balnbridge.
This simply stresses the necessity for
re-codlflcatlon of the laws of Georgia.
