equalizers to assess taxes in Bib
| county. The bill will be drawn up with
! ~
]. Anderson. The County Commits
sioners spent some time in Atlanta
| last week studying the tax system as
| operated there, and they have given
the county attorney the benefit of the
| ideas which they would like to appro-
pirate from the Fulton system. County
Receiver Anderson is the oldest receiv-
| er in the state in point of service and
his views on the defects of existing
/ Ill
| state. As other counties are making
the same effort to get equalization, it
is believed that the Legislative Com
mittee before which. the matter comes
will have the benefit of the combined
wisdom and experience of the many
counties in the state where dissatis-
faction is found, and a general bin
may be drafted that will help every
body in the state.
For the Road Tax.
Attorney Smith has just completed

fault, and, therefore, 1t was impossible
to say when his tax would become
due and payable The maximum COM
mutation shall be SO. The commission
ers say they mean to enforce it as
quickly as possible. Citation has been
run giving legal notice Of the inten-
! ton to present the bill in the Legisla-
| ture.
