Bank Clearings in
Atlanta Continue
Steady Increase

Atlanta bank clearings for the week
just ended did not break the record
of the big week" a fortnight ago, but
compared to advantage with the last
week in october of 1912. The ratio
of increase was kept up. and it is a
fair surmise that only the absence OF
a first" or a fifteenth" of the month
in the last week kept the figures from
further record breaking.
The clearings for the week were
$11S16,44O.22. or the same week last
year the total was $15,330,2S3.67. The
increase is $2,4S6,15655.
The ciearings for October showed
more plainly the advance. For the
month the clearings amounted to
$91, ,341.61. For October, 1912, the
total was $73, 1855, 62714. The increase
Is SIS 492, 71447.

BANKERS STILL
GRAPP[E WITH
INCOME TAX
Atlanta Clearing House Commit
tee Does Its Best to Explain
New Law.

Saturday found the Atlanta banks
sin wrestling with the problems of
the income tax, and sending out in
formation 10 their correspondent
banks in Georgia, Florida. Alabama
and other States.
The Clearing House committee,
which met Friday. had produced. with
considerable legal aid, circular letters
Of information, and these, with sam
pies Of the five forms of certificate
required by the Government, conSti-
tuted large portion of the outsulng
Saturday mail of the Atlanta banks
and bankers.
The letter stressed the order of the
Government that the certificates.
which are to be attached to all Cou-
pons forwarded for collection must
be of a certain size-eight inches by
three and a fraction-and on certain
grade, weight and texture of paper.
This is no joke. The Government does
not joke about such matters.
What the Five Forms Are.
The five certificates include form
for the use of a first collecting
agency" an individual certificate" a
member of partnership" certificate, a
certificate for corporations, and a
Temporary certificate
The last is for use only until No
Vember 16, and in default of regu-
lar certificate attached to coupons for
Warded fop collection before the pro-
visions of the new law were in effect
or generally understood.
And as to being generally under
stood" Robert F. Maddox, chairman
of the Clearing House committee, said
Saturday morning, Il fear that time
is fairy distant. Honestly. when it
comes to wading through solid para
graphs. pages long, with every now
and then a provided you reach the
end of the sermon and find you have
forgotten the text.
Hard to Understand.
Il don't believe / ever encountered
bit of legislation equal to this in its
capabilities for being misunderstood.

phases Of the thing. 1t will just have
to be worked out By degrees, | sup
pose"
In the meantime. it developed Sat
urday that one of the primary pro-
visions Of the tax act was the eNemp-
ton of all United States bonds, and all
those issued by States counties, mu-
inequalities or taxing districts.
This was a crumb of comfort, but it
was buttered with a measure Of dis
trust. for none of the bankers seemed
at all certain that their income from
| United States bonds, which in many
| cases formed a large part of the
banks total revenue. would be de-
| Quoted from the net income" on
which the new tax was applied.
| So for as the business Of the day
was concerned. the first of the month
passed without any miX-ups over cou-
pons. A good many of the bondhold-
ers were waiting to see what was ex-
! pected of them before presenting the
| coupons for payment or collection.

To Change Name

An election was held last Satur-
day at Samville, on the question of
changing the name of that pro-
gressive and fast growing little
city. The ladies of the conmuni-
ty took an active interest in The
election, casting their votes with
the male population.
Four names, Woodrow, Will
Transport, Woodlong and Sam
vile, were voted upon, the result
being almost unanimously in favor
of Woodrow, the name suggested
in honor of our new democratic
president.
A petition will Immediately be
sent to the post Office department
at Washington for the change of
name, the request, which will also
be made to the A. G. l.. R. R.,
giving to Samville the new name
of Woodrow, no doubt within
very short time.

ENLARGING PLANT
Ice Company Erecting New Building
To Double Capacity

Punta Gorda will soon have one
of the completest and most up-to-
date ice manufacturing and cold
storage plants in the state. The
arrangements have all been made
and work is now under way look
ing to this end. When every
thing is completed, the Punta Cor
da Ice Company will be in a posi-
ton 10 serve every need OF this
and nearby communities for every
thing in it's line.
A brick building is in process of
construction for additional cold
storage facilities. This building
will be Al feet square and Al feet
high. The walls part the way up
are 81 inches and for the remain
der of their height are to be II in
ches through; and on the inside will
have inches of cork insulation.
The old building is to be en-
larged by the construction OF an
addition 3Ox6O feet in floor space
for the accommodation of the ad-
ditional refrigerating machinery
and freezing tanks, these latter
being of thirty tons daily capacity.
E. +. Heckert of Jacksonville, re-
frigerating engineer of the South
ern Utilities Co., is here giving at
tention to details connected with
this part of the work, which when
completed will give the factory a
dailyscapacity of sixty tons.
This proposed installation of
new machinery has made necessary
complete re- arrangement of the
greater part of the interior OF the
present building, and necessitates
putting in another boiler order for
which has been placed.
Eight cars of materials have been
received, and to facilitate the I'M
loading and handling of these a
new side-track from the railroad
has been constructed in the rear Of,
the factory, the former one having
been removed to make room for
the new buildings.
Local Manager j. N. Skies has
personal supervision over practi-
cally everything, and he is employ
ing home men as far as as possible
in the work, it being the policy Of
the company to make the enter
prise of as much value to the COM
munity as possible.
This improvement and under
taking is one of several that be-
speaks the advant ement and de-
velopment that is in prospect for
Punta Gorda.

STATE DIVISION
me absorbing Topic at Tallahassee
Other Legislative News

state Division is a live topic at
tallahassee. During the first
weeks Of the session of the legisla-
lure the proposition to cut off and
form q new state out of West
Florida was treated as huge joke
put many who looked upon it light
iy are beginning to think the mat
Ter over seriously. The bills pre-
pared for introduction into both
the senate and the house contem-
plate cutting off only that terri
tory west of the Suwannee river,
but some Of the legislators who ia
vor division are inclined to wish to
include other counties than those
west of the Suwannee and will
probably contend for more equal
division. At any rate, it seem
that the proposition is up to the
legislature, in this its initial stage
anyway.
A bill making an appropriation
for an industrial department at the
reform school was reported favor
ably to the house and will most
likely pass. Among other mea-
sures before the house for consid-
GRAFTON is a bill to fix the compen-
sation of all county officers and re-
qnire the fees heretofore collect
ed by such officers to be turned
over to the county treasurers.
The,'senate bill relating to for
ests has been up for consideration
again and amended in several re-
spects, but it is not likely to be
passed when it comes up ON third
reading. A bill relating to the
oyster industry. however, in
amended form, will in all proba-
bility pass the. senate.
BY vote Of the house, the reso-
luton submitting the equal suf-
frage amendment was lost, but the
ardent suffragettes of not only
Florida but of other states also,

Circuit Court

The spring term of the circuit
court, in and for DeSoto county,
continues in session at Arcadia.
A number of citizen from here
have been in attendance, chiefly
those feeling an interest in mat
ters coming up; but of the cases
thus far tried, none are of special
local interest. Several criminal
cases still to be taken up will re-
quire the rest of this week, and it
seems likely that another week
will be necessary if much of the
remaining work before the court
is to be cleared up ut this term.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1913-05-08

are in no wise complimentary to
those who opposed the PROPOSE
tion and say that there's yet to be
a fight to the finish in this state.
Bills have been introduced into
the house to provide protection
for the gray squirrel, requiring
railroads to operate express SER
vice independent of the express
companies, protecting game and
birds, prescribe method of capital
punishment, requiring prompt re-
ports by circuit clerks of sales and
redemptions of tax certificates,
prohibiting hunting of wild tur-
keys, quail and other game birds
with dogs until after Nov. /, 1918,
etc.
Among the new bills introduced
into the senate are measures re-
lating to land lines and corners,
prohibiting selling Of cigarettes to
minors, authorizing cities to exer-
else the right of eminent domain,
curing informalities in deeds exc
cuted prior to April LIST, 1918, and
relating to pensions and defining
who are entitled to pensions.
The house has passed more than
fifty bills during the past week,
but the senate has not acted favor
ably upon quite SO many, being
deliberative and cautions appar-
emily. Both branches of the legis-
lature, however, have many bills
on the calendars awaiting action.
Governor Trammell has signed
the bill providing aid for the Con
federate Veterans In erecting a.
monument to Southern women;
also an act prescribing the time of
holding circuit court in several of
the circuits of tbestate, this the 10th
being included; and a number of
other measures, mostly pertaining
to other localities and not being
of general interest.
Thus the Legislative grind goes
on. Less than month remains of
this session, and the prospects are
that time for adjournment will
come with much work still undone,
rs heretofore.
