Says the DeLalUGredn: THE action {
the General Assembly on Thursday
defeating what is known as the Fulto
Tax Revision Law is almost an assul
ance that the present Legislature wi

? sweeping in its character, and remain
to be acted upon, yet there is no pro

has been to get the members to agr
upon the provisions of the bill.
