FULTON coUNTYS TAX FIGHT.
CORPORATIONS ACCUSED OF MAX
ING DEFICIENT RETURNS.

The Bonds Issued on Their Proper
ties Many Times In Excess of the
Returns Made For Taxation of the
Property They Cover-The Gas
Light Company Returns For $3.50
600 Property on which s2OOO,OOO
of bonds Are Outstanding.
Atlanta. Ga, Feb 4-Fulton countys
board Of commissioners is after the big
corporations that are inclined to escape
the burdens OF taxation by failing to re-
turn all they own.
The finance committee of that body is
now at work making an investiga lion of
the matter, in consequence of a resolution
of the commissioners referring TO the re-
turns made by telegraph, telephone, insur-
ance' express. banks and building and loan
companies. The passage of this reSolu-
ton was brought about by lnforna ton
coming to the board 70 the effect that
certain corporations of the kinds enumer-
ated, were returning their property for
taxation at values not really nominal in
comparison with the valuations represent
ed by the bonds issued Among other
items it was stated that one corporation
which returned its property at $4,000 in
1888 and $4,000 in 1886 mas made sworn
statement to its stockholders, showing
property to the amount of $4,000, every
dollar of which the county attorney be-
heves to be taxable.
<AHOlHtI GOI pOIdLlOH Is SdiQ " It's
property to the county for one-third the
amount of the city assessment.
it Is alleged that the Atlanta Gas Light
Company returns for $4,000 property on
which it has issued $2,000000 of bonds, the
interest on which it pays, besides paying
dividend on the stock.
1t is also said that the banks In the
Clearing House Association have capt.
tai ana surplus of 100000 in excess of
tie amount returned for taxation in 1895.
The information in the hands of the
members of the board is to the effect that
the Bell Telephone Company, which takes
notes from subscribers, and has a large
amount invested in equipment, has made
10 return of personal property Atten-
ton has been called to this by the fact
that the new telephone company has pro-
posed TO issue bonds to the amount of
$4,000. From this 1t is inferred that the
Bell Telephone Company must have some
thing to tax besides its office building
The attention of the commissions has
been called to the fact that the Southern
Express Company. the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the Postal Tele-
graph Company pay no tax. This infor-
nation is the moving cause behind the
resolution adopted yesterday by the COM
missioners. The finance committee will
consider ii tomorrow.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 4-Capt. J. F. Kemp
ton Of the Atlanta Artillery was convicted
OF being a common cheat and swindler
in the city court this morning before
Judge Berry, and sentenced to pay fine
OF $3.50
The conviction of Capt. KemDton IS a
sensation, although the case has been
kept very quiet in order to save further
sensa tiOnal developments. For some time
past there has been serious trouble IN the
Atlanta Artillery, a large proportion OF
the membership being rebellOus tow ard

force HIM TO retire from the command OF
the company, and it has been rumoTed
that formal charges would, or had been

having his commission revoked. His cen
vctiOn in court to-day VIII undoubtedly

The indictment against Capt. kempton
was found upon the complaint of Charles
Gordon, negro According to the case
made out in court, in July, 1898, Capt.
kemptOn, who was in the real estate busi-
ness, entered into a contract with Gordon
for the sale of certain piece of prop
erty which he claimed to own, By this
contract Gordon paid down S25 cash and
gave notes of $3.50 EACH falling due each
week, for 1856 weeks, these payments being
IN the nature of a renewal of Gordon's
option on the property. Notwithstanding
this. option and the contract with Gordon.
IN August, 1893, Capt. kempton, without
comforting with the latter. made deed
to the property to Mrs Praithro. his
motherin-laW for the sum of $500. Mrs.
Praithro then encountered the property
with mortgage to the Southern Building
and Loan Association. In November. 1895,
this mortgage was foreclOsed by the as
ISOLATION, and this foreclosure proceeding
the plaintiff alleged was the first notice
that he had that the property had been
sold by Capt. kempton to other parties,
as he had been paying his $3.50 regularly
each week, and the money was accepted.
When the mortgage was given to the
building and loan association nothing was
said about the contract with Gordon.
Capt. kemptons attorneys gave notice
of a motion for new trial, and pending
this he gave bond
While the case against Capt Kempton
was such as to cause his conviction to-
day, it is said that the trouble in his com
pany is behind the pressing of the mat
ter, as Gordon might have been satisfied
outside of court. The faction in the COM
pany which is opposed TO Capt. Kemp
ton remaining in command expect now
that he has been convicted of a crime

authorities.
