Property owner* In Atlanta will pay
taxea of 122.60 on the thousand dollars
thla year. The city tax rate la $12.50,
the county rate $5 and the atate rate
14.80.
Reports from countie* and munlci-
palltle* on the tax ratea fixed for 1906
are coming Into the comptroller gen
eral'* office rapidly now, and the rates
vary widely.
For Instance Jones county la paying
r a new court house and has fixed a
county rate of $16.20 on the thousand.
In Terrell county, where four dl*pen*a-
rle* flourish, no county tax I* levied at
alt and none ha* been for year*. Bron-
wood, a email town In that county, with
a dlapeniary, has no taxes to pay.
It la noticeable that the counties hav
ing dispensaries have a low rate of
taxation. Floyd, which split* the prof
it* on the tank between the county and
city of Rome, has a rate of only $4.20
for the county. While the city rate
ha* not been reported, It will probably
be correspondingly low.
In the municipalities reported to date
Brunswick lead* In the slxe of Its levy
with $14, while Hoschton levies only
$2.50 on the thousand to keep things
running. College Park asiesse* prop
erty owners only $3, and Bast Point
$7.60. Columbus has a rate of $13, Ath
ens, where a dispensary flourishes, $10,
Albany $11 and Cedartown $12.50.
Fifty-four counties have reported the
tax rate for 1906. These ratea run the
scale from $2.70 In counties like Clinch
and Chattahoochee, to $16.20 In Jones,
$12.20 In Twiggs, $9.70 In Pickens and
so on down the list. Quitman ho* the
lowest rate reported yet, $2.20, while
Stewart comes a close second with
$2.50. The average runs about $5.
A studv of the various returns are
very Interesting. Crisp Is the only one
of the new counties to report Its tax
rate up to the present, the tax payers
being assessed $7 on the thousand.

2 FEE ACTS
By an act of December 6, 1894, the
fee for chartering a navigation com
pany In Oeorgla wbs fixed at $50. Oi
December 17, eleven days later, that act
aa repealed and the fee fixed at $100.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) appears
In volume 1, political code, page 38. Aa
a consequence considerable confusion
and delay often occurs In securing the
charter 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 fixing the
fee at $100. A cate In point reached
the capitol Wednesday In application
for a charter from Bainbrldg*.
This simply stresses the necessity for
a re-codlfication of the laas of Georgia.
