ROUND BY THE ARBITRATION
A Decision Against Georgia In the
Plant System Tax "a

Atlanta, Ga, December 1S.-Judge
Lumpkin in the superior court. has de-
cided that the state Of Georgia mus
accept the award of a board of arbitra-
tors and allow the Plant system of rail-
ways to pay their taxes according to
the sum returned by this board. or
about $500. 900 less than the original re-
turn Of the railway officials. This case
has ATTRACTED considerable attention.
The Plant system officials returned the
taxes on their trackage in Georgia,
but the comptroller general of the state
refused to accept h figures and made
an assessment himself To this the
railway objected and a board of arbi-
tration which was appointed returned
an assessment lower than that original
ly submitted by the Plant system. The
comptroller general again objected, but
Judge Lumpkin. before whom a writ
Of mandamus in the matter was ar
gued. ruled against the state.

City Census Shows the Government

Especial to The Messeneer.)

Especial to The Messenger
Raleigh, n. c., December 1S.-It is
said tonight that the census of Raleigh,
which was finished today, but of which
the additions are not yet made, will
not show any increase over the govern
ment's figures. Mayor Powell says as
much, and says the only way to do
will be to extend the boundary. The
increase here has been suburban.
In the office Of the clerk of the circuit
court here today the corporation COM
mission filed exceptions to Judge Sim
onions recent ruling that the commits
sion had forfeited its right to amend
its answer to the complaint of the rail-
ways in the tax assessment case, by
