to Collect.
Atlanta. Aug. 22.-Street railway mat
ters, which have been agitating the city
for many months. took a sensa tional turn
to-day when the City Council Committee
on Electric and Other Railways. brought
in report declaring that, because of GER
tain recent acts of the Atlanta Railway
and Power Company, that corporation has
placed itself under the terms of the gen
eral ordinance" adopted by Council last
summer.
The chief feature of this ordinance s
a section requiring the company operai-
ing under il to pay annually into the
city treasury, not less than 3 per cent. or
its gross receipts. When the Atlanta
Railway and Power Company becomes
subject to the ordinance, by the same
terms, ell other street railway lines in
Atlanta must begin to pay the same tax.
1t is estimated the sum that Atlanta will
derive from this source will be $4,000 to
$4,000 per annum for public schools, and
public improvements.

point double track system. This clearly
puts them under the provisions of the
general ordinance"
Council adopted the report of the com
mittee, and will proceed to try to collect
per cent. of the gross receipts of the
Joel Hurt lines. This is regarded as the
most important move yet in the great
street railway fight.

the tax returns of Georgia so far receiv-
ed, including the state assessment of the
