MAY ESCAPE TAXES
PROPERTY IN NEW CITY LIMITS
MAY BE LEFT OUT.
MAYOR IS UNDECIDED.
MATTER IS BEING CONSIDERED BY
ALDERMEN.

City VIII Have to spend an Unusual
Iy Large Amount of Money Next
Year-A Majority of the City De-
partments VIII Want Increased
Appropriations and if Realty in
New Limits should BE Taxed
Money Would Have TO Be Spent
Therc-Quitc Number of Special
Appropriations to BE Made by
Council.
1t is not very probable that people
in the new extended limits win have
to pay city taxes on real and personal
property next year The matter, how
ever, has not yet been decided.
Mayor Myers is giving the subject
serious thought and members of Coun-
Gil have been talking among themselves
about what should be done with the
property in the new limits in 1904.
The Council will consider carefully
before taking any action, but it is not
thought now that the new limits will
be taxed by the city for another year
at least.
Ii the city should determine to levy
a tax in the newly acquired territory
the property owners will expect i'm
provements. and improvements viii
cost money. At present the outlook is
that the city treasury will not be over
burdened with money next year.
No Increase in TdX Rate.
This does not mean that the tax rate
will be increased, for nothing of the
sort will happen. But it does mean
that great many improvements are
contemplated and that the budget for
1904 win be a great deal larger than
the budget for 1903.
The Gwinnctt street grade crossing
will cost the city between $4,000 and
$4,000 and the plan to build new
City Hall has not been abandoned by
any means. The new storm sewerage
scheme, which cOntemplates the laying
of a sewer in Perry lane, is still being
considered, and the director of public
works viii next month furnish Council
with an estimate of the cost of the
work The building of this sewer is
looked upon as a necessity.
To Provide for Tree Nursery.
The tree nursery must be provided
for and the work of street paving will
not be allowed to lag. Council recog-
nizes that the tax payers like to see
plenty of paved streets, and that street
paving is popular. The city will also
be called upon to pay for the big fire
engine, ordered from the LaFrance
Company, and will have to pay a sal
airy of $1,000 for the building inspector
to be elected at the next meeting of
Council.
And, too, several of the departments
will ask for increased appropriations.
The hremen have petitioned for an
increase in salary, and the Fire Com
mittee is going TO make an effort to
get further increase for a fire sta
ton in Collinsville.
The Police Committee will urge upon
Council the necessity of a larger force,
which would mean an increased appro-
priation, and the Streets and Lanes
Department could use a great deal
more money without half trying.
The head of each department will
get up an estimate next week and at
the next regular meeting of City Coun-
Gil the aldermen will be ready to con-
slider just how much each department
is to receive.

CAUGHT IN
THE CORRIDORS

you want to know how business
is, eh?" remarked a jewelry salesman
in answer to the old stereotype ques-
ton. "Well, I'm selling some orders;
we always do this time of year; but
every jeweler I've approached this sea-
son has raised a kick on the price of
diamonds. The fact is, diamonds have
gone up in price considerably, and are
still on the rise. In the last thirty days
the price has advanced 10 per cent,
and I'm looking for another 20 per
cent. rise between now and June" AS
to the cause of this increase in the
price of precious stones, the salesman
attributed it in a measure to the Boer
war in the TranSVaal, where the larger
portions of the diamonds are imported,
though the advance began before the
war But the advance in price does
not affect trade to any great extent
he added, and the higher they get
the more they'll be worm"
Thanksgiving Day isn't what it
used to be-" walled the old fogy. The
Wide-awake citizen muttered: THANK
God for that" under his breath It's

the old fogy 1T used to be that on
Thanksgiving everybody went to church
and there was a reverential signiti-
canoe attached to the holiday. But
everything is different now. The
churches still have their special serv-
ices, but the true significance of the
day is lost in a mad whirl of football
merry-making, dining and theater-go-
ing. And the worst part of the whole
thing" he added with a sigh, lis that

On display in the windows of Frank

flag fifty three years old, which was
presented to the DeKalb Riflemen by
Mrs. Haas of Savannah in 1850. The
flag is made of silk, and on one side
bears the coat of arms of Georgia and
on the other, the letters, ID. K. r."
beneath which is the date of 1850. The
DeKalb Rifiemen performed invaluable
service during the Civil War; but never

while by one CT the former riflemen
and then was lost for a number of
years, eventually falling into the

IMPORTANT DECISION.

In the case of the Cit yvs. F. H. Ros-
enblath, charged with committing a
nuisance by refusing to drain or fill a
pond of stagnant water ON his property
in West Shreveport, Judge Thigpen in
an interesting opinion, in review of
the case tried in the city court, decided
that the defendant has committed no
nuisance, and that nuisance can not
arise from the neglect of one to remove
that which exists Or asises from natural
causes" and, again, ''the owner can not
be held answerable for creating or main
tanning nuisance, nor compelled to
abate the pond as such, when he has not
by his own act Or negligence contributed
to bring about the alleged nuisance"

WENDELL PHILLIPS AND THE
SLAVE

Before he was we'll known, Wendell
Phillips, the we'll known ,abolitionist,
went to Charleston and put UP at a
hotel. He had breakfast served in his
room and was waited upon by slave.
Mr. Phillips seized the opportunity to
represent to the colored man in a
pathetic way that he regarded him as a
man, and brother, and that he himself
was an abolitionist The other, however,
seemed more anxious about the guests
breakfast than he was about his own
position in the social scale or the con-
dition of his soul. Finally Mr.. Phillips
became discouraged and told him to go
away, saying that he could not bear to
be waited on by slave. To this the
other demonstrated. "You must 'scuse
me, massa, but Use 'bliged to stay yere,
cause Use 'sponsible fo' de silverware

GOOD FOR THE BISHOP.

Bishop Burgess of Long Island de-
serves credit for his bold denunciation
of the acceptance of money derived from
immoral sources. He says: Let it (the
church, refuse the large gifts. that come
from men whose moral lives have been
VIGOROUSLY corrupt, or from fortunes
won by child labor, or by the grinding
of the faces of the poor" Good for the
bishop. The churches have been too
Slow in awakening to the immortality in
VOWED in the acceptance of brides from
the predatory rich.-The Commoner.
Good for the bishop, but he appears to
be (and he may be) the only exception
to the general rule. There would be a
rafting of bones if all the churches were
to live UP to his teachings and the pre-
eept OF his example and perhaps some
empty cash boxes as well as seats would
follow from this departure. But the
world is rolling around, so it is said,
and we are going around and around
with it. .. ss -
