WE MUSTBoRRoW MONEY

II the teachers OF Georgia are paid for
the fourth months work this year the
state viii have TO borrow, as has been
foretold by The Journal, 500. 900. The
statement OF the condition OF the treas
ury which was made known Friday by
Governor Gambler shows only $4,000. on
hand that can be applied 10. the payment
OF the teachers. and the state is due them
$3.50. 600.
Although the money Is due the teachers.
and although they are anxious to get II,
and although IL has been the custom for
several years to borrow money to make
the payments, when IL was needed, Gov
ernor Gambler announces that he has not
yet made up his mind what he will do
about it.
II is safe to say, however, that the
money will be borrowed. and the teachers
VIII be paid what is due them. Last year
the state secured money from Georgia
banks at the rate OF 2 per cent interest
This year. IL may be necessary to pay a
higher rate. although the state loans
money TO state repositories at the rate of
per cent interest.
Treasurer Park says he has nothing to
do with the matter as 1t is now in the gov
ernor's hands. Last year Treasurer Park
says he negotiated the loans.

lot OF land I'm Brunswick provided II was
used for railroad purposes. and when the
railroad desisted from the use OF the land
for railroad purposes II belonged TO the
city. When the question OF taxing this
property came up some time ago the rail-
road company contended that IL was the
property. OF the city OF Brunswick and
was not taxable. Comptroller Wright
ton that the property was being used by
the railroad and must be taxed. Attorney
General Wright sustained his contention.

mi.>s. 20 serve as a cut OF, shortening
the main line by nearly 50 miles. Be-
cause this line was not in use on March

authorities were OF the opinion that II
should not be returned. Comptroller

was in possession OF the railroad COM
pany, and must be taxed. In this he was
also sustained by Attorney General
