Banks and business men both agreed

Report to the Board of Trade as to
How General Business Is Affected.
The committee appointed by the Board
of Trade directors to prepare an exposi-
ton of the new tax law. completed its re-
port yesterday. 1t is as follows:
Should the drawer of draft or check
through oversight or inability 10 obtain
a stamp at his postoffice or town. fail to
affix a stamp to draft or check, the party
interested who receives the check or draft
can afiix stamp and cancel same to
make it valid.
That each certificate of inspection of
naval stores requires a 1Oc stamp
That original bills of lading must be
stamped by transportation companies is
suing them; duplicates and duplicates by
the shipper.
That carbon or letter press copies of
signed instruments are not the duplicates
and triplicates taxed under the law.
That sale tickets of brokers and their
orders to their principals and all sales for
present or future delivery on the floors
of exchanges, boards of trade and other
similar places must be stamped.
But sales of merchants and orders to
them for goods do not require to be
stamped
No stamp is required on ordinary re-
ceipts for money as has been provided for
in similar measures for raising revenues.
The committee appended to It's report a
general synopsis of the law as prepared
by the New York Journal of Commerce
and Financial Chronicle,
1t was left with the committee to re-
port back to the board of directors or a
general meeting of members, or by post
ing it's report in the room of the ex-
fchange. 1t was decided upon the latter
as the quickest means of reaching MEM
bers, in view of the fact that the new
law becomes effective at once.

WILL NOT BE SHUT OUT.
Tyson Telephone Co.'s Wires VIII
BE Put Up Somehow.

BE Put Up Somehow.
Mr.. W. F. Slater, attorney for the Ty-
son Telephone Company, regards the ac-
ton of Council in laying the petition that
the company be allowed the privilege of
erecting poles in the city on the table, as
favorable action.
The petition went on the table pending
an opinion by City Attorney Adams.
whether the city could force other COM
panies to allow the Tyson companv IN
string its wires on their poles If the opinl
ion is that this right does not exist then
the assumption is that Council will grant
the right 10 put up more poles, since none
of the aldermen desire tto shut out an
enterprise which seeks entrance to Sa-
vannah.
1t is understood from legal sources. how
ever, that the city reserves the right in
its franchises TO the street car companies
TO remove any poles 1t desires There are
other rights the city is understood to have
reserved which would indicate that s1Ig
gestion, to the effect that more poles might
injure the privileges now enjoyed by com
panles occupying the field, would be suf-
hcient TO do the work. 1t is believed the
city would have no trouble settling the
question referred to the city attorney. even
If there Is no law covering the case. The
mere fact that the Tyson company is
going to be encouraged, and that the civ
does not intend to allow any more poles
erected, If possible, Is almost enough 10
indicate enough of the poles now stand
ing might be displaced to make room for
the same number Of new ones.
Within few weeks the Tyson com
pany will have its wires up to the civ
limits, ready to enter and make connec-
tons. It is contemplated the line WIN be
completed any way within the next three
weeks. and the telephones in shane ~

POTATOES co UP IN PRICE.
Government Buying All it Can Get
for the Army.

The effect of the war has been a raise
In the price of many edibles but very few
people know that the Irish potato is al
ready higher than in years past at the
same season. This is not, however, due
to a shortage in the crop, but to an in
crease in the demand.
The war with Spain has been largely
responsible for the increased demand.
for the United States government is buy
ing everything in the way of old potatoes
to forward TO the troops encamped in
various parts Of the country and those en-
gagged in the invasion of Cuba and the
Philippines.
For seversl months government agents
have been securing vast stores Of old DO
tatoes The gap in the regular demand
caused by this drain has been filled with
orders for new potatoes and they have
consequently risen IN price.
There are no old potatoes in the Savan-
nah market. New potatoes are selling at
1925 a barrel for first grade. The highest
point reached last year al about the same
time was $3.50 for the same grade. The
supply Of potatoes comes from Tennessee,
the local product having been exhausted.
