The city tax rate Is $12.50, the county rate $5 and the state rate $4.80.

For Instance Jones county Is paying for a new court house and has Axed county rate of $18.20 on the thousand In Terrell county, where four dlspensa rles nourish, ho county tax la levied at all and none has been for years. Bron wood, a small town in that county, with a dispensary, has no tnxes to pay. It Is noticeable that the counties hav Ing dispensaries have a low rate of taxation. Floyd, which splits the prof its on the tank between the county and city of Rome, has a rate of only $4.20 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 size of Its levy with $14, while Hoschton levies only $2.50 on the thousand to keep things running. College Park assesses prop erty owners only $3, and East Point $7.50. Columbus has a rate of $13, Ath ens, where a dispensary Aourlshes, $10, Albany $11 and C'edartown $12.60. Fifty-four counties have reported the tax rate for 1906.

CONFUSION CAUSED THROUGH 2 FEE ACTS Ry an act of December 6, 1894, the fee for chartering a navigation com pany I tv Georgia wan fixed at $50. On December 17, eleven day* later, that net was repealed and the fee fixed at $100. The act of December 6 appears In volume 2, civil code, page 72; the act of December 17 (the fee bill) appear* in volume 1, political code, page 38. 4 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 check for $50, and It becomes necessary for the secretary to write explaining the act of eleven days later fixing the fee at $100. A case In point reached the capitol Wednesday In application for a charter from Balnbrtdge. This simply stresses the necessity for re-codlflcation of the laws of Georgia.
