MANY TALKING TAX REDUCTION
Those Who Pay Freight Want Rate
Reduced.

When, In December last, the city tax
rate was raised to $l5 per 81 900, there
was general murmuring snd discomfort
among the taxpayers, as they expected
a reduction in taxes rather than an in
crease. But the "Rochelle rate" as it
was termed, was paid. The city low
has over $4,000 surplus IN the treas
ury, and this amount will, no doubt,
be largely increased during the current
year. This, at least, is the general
wish of taxpayers along with the more
earnest hope that the rate will be ma
terially reduced next time. There is
no earthly reason why Americus should
pay an ad valorem rate exceeding one
per cent, The rate has, in years past,
been much below that figure, even, and
the city then had identicalIy the same
advantages she now has and with less
property to be taxed whereby to raise
it. Excessive taxation does not in
duce Investments in any town.
Americus wants lower rate, and tax
payers should demand it of the men
