MASS MEETING TOMORROW
AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

Don't forget the big mass meeting
at the Baptist church tomorrow after
noon at o'clock, in which the Sun
day schools and everybody who will,
shall participate in a big Christmas
Offering for the poor.
The first gathering of the kind was
held last year and proved a success
beyond the expectations of those
most interested. But this year every
body is looking forward with keen
interest to the gathering on Sunday
afternoon, and it is doubtful if there
will be much room to spare. Last
year we served about 60 persons this
year we will be in a position to serve
many others.
Think of many who are less forum
ate than you are and come prepared
to make an offering, however small
it may be. You may expect the full
program to appear tomorrow morning

When Judge Conyers refused to
grant 4 permanent injunction to the
st. Simons Transit Co. ct al, yester-
Gay morning, he decided point IN a
case which has been before the .ocal
courts Tor several years and which
has once been to the state supreme
court Tor decision.
After being postponed for halt
dozen times, the injunction i'll ths
case OF the transit company vs. the
mayor and council, seeking to pre-.
vent tne city from collecting taxes
on various passenger steamboats, was
heard yestel day morning, the city be
ing represented by City Attorney J.
L. Colson, and the steamboat inter
ests by Judge D. w. krauss. The
decision OF the court means that ell
passenger steamers, making Bruns
wick their home pert are subject tc
a municipal tax.
History of Case.
In 1905 the city attempted to col
lect municipal tax from j. b. Wright
owner of the steamer HessIe, plyina
between Brunswick, st. lSmons mills
and Darien. The owner claimed tina.
the boat was not subject to mun,cl
lal tax, on the ground that it was
personal property and followed ttt
Gomici.e CT the owner. On the grounC
rnat MIR. Wright was the owner of the
tiessie and he resided on ST Simons
the supreme court ruled that the boat
was not liable TO tax, out the prin
c1pal point involved whether or moi
Bile to a tax, was not decided.
few months ago the city issued
executions against the steamers Hes
sic, Sea Gate and Attaluin, the three
steamers owned by the st Simon
Transit company. The levy was made
Dut before the property could be ad
vertised a temporary injunction was
secured. These steamers were seized
on the ground that they owed the city
taxes for the years 1907 to 1913 inclu
siVe, amounting in all t. something
like $1,000. Mr. Wright removed tC
Brunswick and made this city his
home in 1906, therefore the forme,
plea that the steamers were not due
a municipal tax was not brought into
this case, but the payment was refus
ed on other grounds and at the tria
yesterday Judge krauss contendet
that "a steamboat, plying IRON one
port to another is not subject to {
municipal tax. City Attorney Colsor
argued that the owner of steam
scat should pay taxes on 1t just thu
same as on any other property, ant
Judge Conyers Immediately after the
arguments were concluded, decided II

This means, however, that the cas'

cussed question as to whether or no
steamboat is really subject to {
municipal tax. AS stated, when the
