DALTON WILL SUE
SOUTHERN FOR TAXES

DALTON. Ca, Dec. 1s.-The case of
the Southern Road VS.. the City of Dalton
will in all probability be tried In Fulton
county, as the attorneys for the road con-
tend that IL is necessary to try all cases
which have to do with taxes in Atlanta.
The case is creating intense interest
here The voucher passed up by the
council TO pay freight to the road was
held by Chief of Police Fincher for sew
eraI days, and the road. last Thursday,
refused to deliver several cars Of coal to
the gas works when the coal was badly
needed. superintendent McCamy, OF the
gas works, had 10 give his note for the
freight on the coal before II was delivered
Friday about noon.
The property levied on by Chief Finch
er has been released. and Sheriff Gilbert
will make a levy on the home of the
section foreman here. While the levy is
excessive, the attorneys have stated that
they will make no fight on il. but will get
down TO business I'm the original case TO
see whether or not the road can be made
to pay tho S1s5 rate levied by the city
last year. 2
