DUST FROM THE OIL.
President Egan Tells Why 1t Is Not
Used to Keep Dust Down.

President Egan Tells why 1t Is Not
Used to Keep Dust Down.
Oil on troubled waters soothes them,
and oil on railways keeps down the
dust of the soil. Some criticism has
been offered because roads in this sec
ton have not used oil to keep down
the dust in hot, dry weather. Pres
ident John M. Egan of the Central
Railway, yesterday answered these crit
icisms by saying that roads that have
followed this plan have abandoned it
because of complaints from lady pas
sengers, who declared that the very
fine particles of oil dust that fioated up
from the track ruined their dresses and
their hats
Oil as fuel for locomotives is consid-
cred favorably by Mr.. Egan, however,
and he believes that it will be but a
matter of time, before it will be more
widely used. The Central may equip
its engines in time as oil burners.

A RAISE NOT LIKELY

6S2.7I2-Tax Collector Baker En-
deavoring to secure Returns of All
Before the Books Are Closed.
Tax Collector Marcus S. Baker is
engaged in the preparation of the tax
digest for the current year. With his
entire Office force and in the face of
many difficulties the tax collector IS
endeavoring to get his books in shape
at the earliest possible date.
Mr.. Baker said yesterday he is
able to form little idea of the amount
of the digest for the year. He said,
however, that he doubts very seri-
ously if it will show any increase
over the amount of digest for 1901, as
there has been a number of influences
at work which tend to reduce the
showing of taxable property in the
county.
in the first place." said Mr.. Baker,
81 have considerably reduced the
amount of the returns on very large
number of pieces of property. 1 felt
that this property had been over-taxed
in the past and that the simple de-
mands of justice required that the
taxes should be reduced. The books
showed that the property had been re-
quired to pay taxes as of a value it
did not possess and would not bring in
the open market and 1 determined
would not be any longer party to this
species of injustice.
The Increases Not Enough.
1T is true,H said Mr.. Baker that I
have increased the taxes on property
in some sections of the city, but these
increases will probably not make up
for the decreases that l have allowed.
In addition to all this the absorption
of the Edison Electric Illuminating
Company by the Savannah Electric
NOuipdIS udb lGQulIGQ llle return OIL
taxes on property valued at more than
100000 directly to the controller gem
eral of the state, instead of to me,
and this will tend, of course, to re-
duce the amount of taxable property
represented by the digest. 1t will re-
Quire a good many substantial increas-
es to make good the deficit thus caus-
ed"
The tax digest for last year amount
ed to $31, 6S2,712, an increase of 1851, 219
over the digest for the preceding year.
Accordingly to Mr.. Baker there will be
little If any increase shown in the
digest for this year.
The Books Already Closed.
The books of the tax collector have
already been closed, but wherever and
whenever possible it has been the poll
icy of Mr. Baker to permit property
owners to return their taxes and not
force them into a position where their
taxes will be doubled. In this regard
he is endeavoring to accommodate the
public as much as he can.
Notwithstanding all this there is
about the usual number of delinquent
returns and this number is likely to
continue uniform until the books are
finally and absolutely closed There
are always some persons who neglect
or refuse to make their returns and
suffer in consequence the penalty of
having to pay a double tax.

The recent hot weather seems to have
made no difference in the number of
visitors to the library of the Georgia

visitors always decreases with the ad-

degrees of heat has not had the effect
of accomplishing a further decrease in
