FULTON SHOWS A DECREASE.
Much Talked of Increased Returns
Did Not MatnriaIize.

Atlanta, Aug. 9.-According to the tax
digest which IS now completed, there is
a decrease of $239 SOL in the Fulton county
tax returns this year as compared with
the figures of 1898.
The total for 1899 Is SOLOS, 34. while that
of last year was $50, S65,O25 The shortage
is due to a decrease in the real estate re-
turns, the personal property showing an
increase.
Tax Receiver Armstead accounts for the
decrease in the digest by the fact that
the city assessors last year decreased
city assessments and the property owners
have made a corresponding reduction this
year in giving in their returns TO the state
and county.
The county tax rate this year will he
based on the total of $50, l2S. 1874 and will
be fixed at the next meeting of the county
board. The grand total in the county
shows decrease in country land of $l60.
325, in city real estate of $6il, 494. and an
increase in personal property of $50. l2s.
The aggregate decrease is S239. 69l. The
increase in professions is 300 and the in
crease of polls is 1856.

cided at the meeting tomorrow

was founded. The project is very dear
to the heart of the President. Mr.. Nc
Kinley has for years hoped and worked
to provide some memorial in which
sectionalism might be lost and in which
the patriotic national spirit might be
completely represented, In this effort
the President will be sustained by MIR.
Henderson, Speakerto.be of the House.
General Henderson is an ardent Grand
Army mao, and has been active
throughout his Congressional career in
obtaining money to built memorials on
the various battle6slds of the civil war.
The bridge across the Potomac is
known to have bis enthusiastic in.
dorssment. 1t is now thought that the
proposition to erect such memorial in
Washington will promptly be agreed
to by Congress. The designs will
be submitted January 16. 1900,
and it is expected that before the
end of February work upon the
memorial bridge will definitely begin.
President Mckinley g speech in Atlanta
last spring, when he took occasion to
say that the time had come when the
North might with propriety share with
the South the care of Confederate
graves, pointed the way to an even
larger scope for the memorial, and
made it easy for northern members OF
Congress to suggest that the bridge

Yesterdays New York's Herald con-
tanned a fine picture of the proposed
memorial bridge to span the Potomac
aud unite the city Of Washington with
Alexandria county. The Herald in its
description of the structure, among
other things, says:
Zone of the most Interesting me-
MORALS ever erected in honor OF the
men who have died on land and sea to
make aud keep this nation what it ia, is
to be in the form of beautiful bridge
1900 feet long, 70 feet wide, across the
Potomac at Washington. The cost has
been estimated at from 81 600, 900 to
S. ,0OO.O0 The structure is to be "A
Memorial to American Patriotism In
its scope and purpose it will include
the valiant men of every period of our
history and of every section of our COM
mon country. 1t will represent no
North, no South, no East and no West,
aud no particular war from l776 to
1899, but it will perpetuate forever the
heroic deeds of all men known as
Americana throughout the world. 1t
is hoped that with it's erection will die
every ignoble prejudice OF the
past, and that in its granite
and steel will endure the redeem
ing nobleness OF American character
since the United States government
