MlNYCONTRACTORS
WANT To BUILD
NEW JAIL
COMMISSIONERS WILL HAVE LARGE
NUMBER OF BIDS TO LOOK
OVER WHEN THE CONTRACT is
AWARDED.

When the county commissioners
meet TO open bids for the construction
of the new Glynn county Jail. they will
find bids from many of the leading
contractors in the south.
The advertisement for bids has only
been published for one week. but al
ready inquiries are coming from
number of contractors in nearby cities
and two or three parties have already
asked for the necessary information in
order TO prepare their bids
The announcement that bids had
been invited was published in seHe-
raj trade and industrial papers last
week, and it is expected that within
the next few days the clerk of the
beard viii have more inquiries on hand
than he can answer.
Because of the recent depression
building in all sections of the south
has been at a standstill and now that
business is reviying, the contractors
.are keeping their eyes open for new
structures and they ~re already to sub
NIT their bids on any contract Ii is
safe to say that the commissioners
will have more bids to lcok over when
they open them than was the case
when they advertised for bids on the
new courthouse a few years ago.
Several of the companies will send
representatives here to be present at
the meeting of the board when the
contract is to be awarded and alto
gether it is expected that there will
be quite a lively little tilt among the
contractors to secure the contract fol

INSTRUCTIONS
Dealers Must Pay a Full Years Tax
for the Remaining Three
Months-CantTa& Out Tax
for Shorter Period.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 14.-Odd fea-
lures have been discovered in the
Wise bin placing a license tax OF. all
near beer establishments in this state.
Perhaps the most staruino of all is one
by which the fun tax for one year must
be paid for the privilege of doing bus
mess between now and. December 81.
The taxes are Anfbe iNied annually.
but Che fiscal ye epds n December
effect beyond Il date The act be-
came effective eptembar 5. and in
structions nave Been issued by Comp
troller General w A. Wright for the
collection Of the tax from all who are
found to have taken in the business
since that date.
In other words, retail dealers in
near beer must fork over 5000 to the
state for the privilege of remaining in
business for the remainder of the year
to put it more plainly, pay a fun
years license fee for a four months
privilege. Not only this, but. they
must run the risk of prosecution for
violating the prohibition law, in case
they sell anything that more than
looks like beer The same rule ap-
plies to agents and manufacturers, ex-
cept that they have to pay $500 each.
Tax Collectors Cut Out.
1t has been discovered that it is the
duty Of county ordinaries to collect
the tax. All other taxes are gathered
by tax collectors who reap handsome
remuneration by working on commits
sion. They were delighted with the
prospects afforded by the new law, as
they thought it would refund the
money lost by reason of the abolition
Of saloons.
However, tax collectors are not
mentioned in the act 1t is incumbent
on ordinaries to get The money, and no
commission is allowed them All they
viii receive is the registration fees,
81 in each case, which the person Ii
censpd is REQUIRED to pay, and which
would be paid even if the tax collec-
ter made the actual collection. The
state will derive the gross earnings
from the tax
Another popularity Of the act is
that portion which denotes license"
instead Of an occupation tax as with
the old tax on saloons. Whether this
will abrogate the right of municipali-
ties to require additional licenses is a
question that has never been deter
mined in the courts. The state has
never issued licenses proper except
for two or three kinds Of business,
like sewing machines, agencies, etc
They have usually been taxed in ad-
dition by the cities in which they were
located The amounts charged in
both instances being small, the ques-
ton of validity has never been
raised
Contests May Rise.
The law has been the subject of
several conferences between Governor
Smith Comptroller Wright and Attor-
ney General Hart A contest over sew
eral features would not be sur
prise
In his instructions for the collection
Of the tax, Comptroller Wright says:
YOU are also advised that you are
to collect the full amount CT these IL
censes for the balance of this calen-
dar year which ends December 81,

Licenses issued by you this year
must be renewed and taxes Daid lam
