Does ADVERTISING
Pay?

T>HE BUSINESS OF PUBLICITY is reaching
basis on which its operations and results may
be reduced to exact computation by ex-
perenced advertisers.
The question "Does advertising pay'" is seldom
asked nowadays If someone should ask this
question in the twentieth century, the answer would
naturally follow: alt depends entirely upon the
advertising and npon the commodity advertised"
Many merchant has turned his back the
suggestion of daily newspaper advertising cam
pagn, thinking, Cant afford it,, and little realiz-
ing how tremendously profitable investment in
advertising space be, when properly handled
An advertising campaign carefully and judi
ciousy planned may be carried on in comparatively
small way until the advertiser is satisfied that he is
the right track. Once we'll started he may put
full steam and be of big results

May Take Hold Later.

The appropriation of 500 for new
books was the result of the appeal.
The question of salary of the librarian
and janitor, and the other expenses
to conduct the library, was
left untouched. 1t is probable that
Council will take hold of the situation
a little later on when the city's finan-
ces are in better shape and the treas
ury not looking SO empty as at this
time. The people of Americus, of
course, are not going to let the library
fall through for lack of funds ade-
quate for its support. Public opinion
will undoubtedly be so strongly in fa-
vor of proper appropriation from
the City, to assist in this work, that it
will be forthcoming
Under the contract the city is hon
orably bound to see that $4,000 a year
is expended in the operation of the
library. All of this need not be pro-
vided by the city government. The
Ladies Auxiliary will doubtless raise
$500 a year before it is through with
it's work, and an equal amount will
probably be secured in annual sub
scriptions from among the men. II
the Council makes an appropriation OF
$1,000, divided into monthly payments
the success of the library is assured
and the anxiety arising from lack ot
funds that has hampered it thus fan
will be removed
There is no doubt that Council feels
kindly to the institution and that it is
merely the present temporary condi
ton of its finances, nothing unusual il
mid summer, that prevents it from
taking hold right away and putting
the library on its feet.

Hard Work Ahead.

The hard work of the tax assessors
is now ahead Citizens have the right
of appeal and many will naturally
avail themselves of this. Very few,
probably, of the actual increases but
what will be contested in a measure.
The tax assessors give a respectful
attention to the arguments and then
decide among themselves whether any
reduction is justified. If not, the dis
satisfied citizen still has another op-
portunity to get the assessment down.
He can insist on an arbitration, he
appointing one, the tax assessors an
other, and these two arbitrators Sc
lecting a third. 1t is not often
though, that this is done. AS a gen
eral proposition the tax payers and
the assessors argue the question out
between themselves and adjust their
differences without recourse to out
side arbitrators.
It is understood that there have
been more returns raised by the as
SCISSORS this year than in some years
Times have been hard, business has
been dull and the returns made by
taxpayers have, of course, had a ten
dency to shrink, The duty of the as
SCISSORS is to fight against this incli-
nation of returns to dry up, and thf
battle will soon be on between then
and the taxpayers
1t is not improbable that when The
assessors complete their job they vii
have we'll earned the compensation
they receive from the city. At tht
same time it is also quite probable
that the total assessable values sub
ject to city taxation will be increas
ed considerably over last years re
turns.

TWO NEW MEMBERS
FOR BOND COMMISSION.
Two New Banks VIII Each Have a
Member on 1t, I

At the next meeting of the City
Council the Bond Commission will be
increased from three to five. The new
members will be:
Mr.. R. E. McNulty, representing the
Commercial City Bank.
Mr.. M M. Lowery, representing the
Americus National Bank.
Each of the three older banks has
a representative, so that, after the
passage of the new ordinance making
the membership five, the Bond Com
mission will be made up of a repre-
sentative from each of the city's
financial institutions.

In Unsettled State.

The finances of the library are still
in an unsettled state. The monthly
appropriation of SIS by the City Coun-
Gil for three months expired with the
July appropriation. This was intended
to pay the librarians monthly salary
of $50, and the expenses incident to
the maintaining Of the building. There
is now no appropriation from the city
available for the current expenses.
Directors Crawford Wheatley and
Thomas Harold appeared before the
Council and explained the situation at
the library. The statement was made
that Messrs. Wheatley and Dudley
have insured the librarians salary for
the month of August, as there are no
funds available and it was necessary
for some one to step into the breach
and keep the Institution soinngg..,~~- ssoingg.
Between 800 and 400 citizens are
using the library, Mr.. Wheatley ex-
planned, and the number will be con-
slderabE increased as soon as some
new byoks are provided. Private par
ties Advanced $500 to furnish the
iS1ilding, but more funds are really
required for that purpose. The La
dies Auxiliary has taken hold of the
childrens department, with the usual
spirit that the. ladies of Americus dis
nlay in any ENTERPRISE to which they
put their hands, and have a member
ship whose dues will keep that de-
partment equipped with good books
and magazines for the young readers.
The adult readers though, have not
been provided for and a plea was
made for prompt action.

MANY Returns HAVE
BEEN RAISED
Tax Assessors Ready for
the Annual SCrapfeSt.
More DIncreases in AS
sessylents This Year
Than Has Been Rule

A Is aluge of notices of increases in
taIyleturns will soon flood the city.
City Clerk Hawkes. is now busily en-
gagged in preparing the formal official
notices that will acquaint citizens
with the fact that their returns have
not been accepted, and that the tax
assessors have raised the assessment
upon which they must pay their
taxes.
Forty Per Cent Raised.
1t is stated on good authority that
fully forty per cent of the tax re
turns that were made have been in
creased by the tax assessors. In
deed, the percentage may even run
higher than this Nearly one out of
every two citizens will soon receive
an official communication advising
him of the fact that the city expects
him to contribute more to its necessi-
tes than he prepared himself to do
when he put in his tax returns.
Many of the increases by the tax
assessors are due to the fact that cit
liens reduced their returns below last
year The increases in such in
stances would be apparent only, re-
turn to the former basis of assess
ments. But there is another army,
though whose tax returns were add
ed to by the assessors on the basis
that the values of the property were
greater than the returns and that an
assessment more in the city's favor
was justifiable,

Probably Come Up to
the Mark

I One hundred dollars was appropri-
ated by the City Council at it's meet
ing on Wednesday night for the pur-
chase of books for the Carnegie Lii
brary
Directors Eldridge and Wheatley, Of
the Library Board, had already stood
responsible for the purchase of books
to that value. The action of Council
provides the necessary funds and re-
lieves them from this responsibility.
The new books ordered will be the
first additions to the library, outside
of the children's department, since the
doors of the new building were open
ed three months ago. Current books
have been sadly needed and the
growth and usefulness of the institu-
tion have undoubtedly been impaired
by it's inability to provide the reading
public with the class of books desired
by it.
