$4,000 SURPLUS
GIVEN CITY BY
7 Ak RAISE
Jump of S245, 1903 in Revenues
Exceeds Expectations of
Budget Makers.

Official figures Of the city comptrol-
Ter on Atlanta's increase in tax reve-
nue. today show a surplus above the
amount appropriated for the year by
council of $59,59347. The final reports
show the total in the city's taxes to be
the remarkable increase of $245,109.
In making up the budget. the finance
committee anticipated an increase of
slS1,2O3s6 This was considered by
many to be excessive,
The total revenue from realty and
personal taxes in 1911 was $1,6SS,f6S'
The anticipated revenue for 1912 was
s1.S69.971.96. The actual receipts will
reach $1,929,565.43.
Instead of being short in revenue, as
was predicted by some. there will be
golden nest egg in the city treasury at
the end of the year, unless council gets
busy and spends 1t before January l.
Bio Increase Due to Eoualizinq.
The Increase is principally due to the
agitation for an equalization Of tax as
sessments. The total increase in as
sessments is $19,273,743. The assess
ments in 1911 were $135,10t.49l. The
assessments for 1912 are $154,S65,234
The realty assessments amount to
$1o7, 1928. $3.50 The personally assess
ments amount to $46,741,3
Since the agitation for tax reforms
was begun two years ago, assessments
have been increased more than $50
100000
The increase in the personally anc
realty taxes of the public utility cofpo-
rations is $11,597S2. In 1911 this tax
amounted to $1S0,295,S6 In 1912 it is
$191, S936S.
Taxable Values Tripled in 10 Years.
Atlanta's taxable values have tripled
in ten years In 1902 the total assess
ments we're only $57S69.612.
II is surprising that the street tax
shows a decrease. Every voter, except
those exempt by old age or military
service. must pay a street tax. In 1911
the total was $15.655 In 1912 it is $15,-
607, The sanitary tax, $10S,S9O.49, is an
increase of S4.360.50.
When the finance committee Of Coun-
ell meets in January to make up the
new budget 1t will take the figures Of
this year as basis. The committee
win estimate an increase in the revenue
for 1913 equal to the increase of 1912
over 1911.
The real Importance of the tax fig
ures is that the finance committee will
estimate that it has approximately
$25O,OOO more money to spend in 1918
than it was able to appropriate in 1912.
All the city officials agree that the
tax assessments are still very low. es-
pecially on central property.

MlNGLING OF OLD AND NEW
Lawsuit Over Patent for V-Wourt. Cop Reveals Most Interesting
 Complications.

Some years ago the old and the new figured in a curious way in an application for patent made by an American. This mans application had reference to what is known as a "V-wound cop" cop being cyl finder of wound thread or yarn. The V-wound cop is held to be superior to others in compactness and uni- formity of tension. For some time it was thought that this sort of cop was the result of American inge- unity.
 The American patent, however, be- came the subject of 6 lawsuit, and it was discovered that two museums in this country had cops of wood made years and years before by Fiji island- CTS and that the cops made by these semi-civilized people were practically the same as those turned out by the American So the latter's patent was declared invalid. Then new complication arose, inasmuch as, the museum authorities refusing to have their cops unwound, it was impos- sible to prove legally that the same wind extended throughout all the layers. Accordingly the patent off, flee reissued a patent to the Ameri- can inventor for his cop.

Then my lord washed in water tested for poison and dried with towel already kissed as d like precaution. This the while each dish of the first course, then on the dresser, was being tasted by the stew ards and cooks under the direction of the sewer. The dishes then came to the high table and ''assaye" was taken by the carver and the sewer himself. Nothing was left to chance. Pieces were clipped from each loaf and corners from all meats. Pies were broken open and "cornets" of bread dipped into several places and swallowed by the tasters. Granted the well-being of these tasters, the feast could then proceed.
