TAX EXECUTIONS
MEAN GREAT DEAL
WITH PERSONAL PROPERTY
AMOUNT. CITY MARSHAL ne
LIEVES, WILL REACH $25,O0O.

Marshal Made Report to Mayor
Myers, Showing There is $14,04O.S7
stiu UncOIIectcd, But This Amount
Does Not Include Personal Prop
erty ExecutiOns-MnyOr VIII Have
Marshal Collect All of This
Amount He Can.
Exclusive of the personal property
executions, the executions in the hands
of the city marshal, that have not been
collected, amount to $14,94O.S7.
What the executions on personal
property amount to it is impossible to
say at this time, though City Marshal
Dreeson says these executions will car
ry the total amount to $4,000, or over.
The report of the marshal was made
to Mayor Myers yesterday at noon. The
figures had been forecasted in the
Morning News, although it was sup
posed the personal property would also
be included in the list. 1t would take
quite a while to get up this list, the
marshal says. Besides, large part of
it is not collectable.
The total amount for real estate and
paving for the last ten years is $34,-
239.54. OF this, $16,327.44 has been paid.
The total amount collected during this
time is S27 1857, but a large part of
that was not included in the list of the
total amount due Much of it is for
executions on personal property.
No Radical Methods.
Mayor Myers regards this amount as
rather small for uncollected executions.
He will have the marshal try and col
lect as much of it as possible, but he
will not push the property owners too
much. There will be no radical meth
| DDS pursued.
Another interesting part of Marshal
Dreeson's report to the Mayor, which
was given without being asked for, re-
lates to the troubles of the Eagle Man
ufacturing Company, in which Alder
man John F. Glatigny is largely inter-
ested. The report in part is as fol-
| lows:
I'm the matter of the Eagle Manu-
| featuring Company, which has been
| given so much publicity, 1 beg to state
| that there is no execution in the office
| for taxes on real estate against the said
| company. / hold executions against
| P. c. Rumbolt and w. H. Ellington
| for the years 1901 1902 and 1903, against
| the Georgia Manufacturing and Trad
provements in 1903. I have levied on lot
No. of Springfield ward for taxes for
| 1901, on May IA, 1902, and sold same
| to the city on July 1. 1902.
GIntigny Was Notified.
IT have also levied on the same lot
| for taxes of 1902, on May 6, 1908, and
served notice on Mr.. Glatigny for the
property, advertised it and sold 1t to
the city on July 7, 1903.
| mo deed to the property was made
| to the city, as I expected the taxes to
| be paid and did not want to put the
| owners to the extra expense. I stand
ready to make the deed whenever am
instructed.
THE only execution in this office
against the Eagle Manufacturing Com
pany is for specific taxes of 1903 and
1904, both of which came into my
hands in March, 1904"
Execution Must BE Satisfied.
1t will be seen from this statement
that there are executions against the
Eagle Manufacturing Company. though
they are not for real estate. The real
| estate executions, however, hold good
against the present owners no matter
how long ago they were issued, or who
then held the property. In cases of
real estate, the property itself may at
any time be levied upon for the taxes,
whether it has changed hands once or
| a dozen times.
The Eagle Manufacturing Company
| case has not yet been settled. It is
not likely, however, that there will be
| any sensational developments, as AL
derman Glatigny has announced that
his company would pay the tax if
forced to do so. If therefore, there
is no remission on the part of the FL
nance Committee or the City Council,
the taxes will be paid by the present
holders of the property.
