To Push Ducktown
Litigation

Atlanta. Ga. November 80. -

ker is now in consultation with
Attorneys ]. A. Drake and La
mar Hill of Atlanta and Attorney
T. H. Crawford of Blue Ridge,
who were appointed by Governor
Harris as special assistants to
the attorney general in present
ing the states interests in the
litigation with the Ducktown
Sulphur, Copper and Iron COM
pany of Ducktown, Tenn.
Attorney General Walker has
made an exhaustive study of the
situation and litigation and the
interests of Georgians will be
presented, it is believed with
greater strength than ever be-
fore in this case which has been
unsettled for several years.
The litigation grew out of the
complaints of Georgia farmers
that the fumes from the copper
company's plant drifted across
the Tennessee line and did
terrible damages to the crops and
to the forests.
Last April the attorney general
obtained a decree from the
United States supreme court en-
joining the copper company from
discharging more than a stipulat-
ed a mount of its fumes across
into Georgia. but the farmers
say they have experienced no
relief.

Tax Values A
Decrease For Year

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 30.-Tax
values in the state of Georgia Cor
1915 exclusively of railroad and
other public utility values, show a
decrease of $2,S54, 2O4 according
to figures announced yesterday by
the comptroller generals office.
This decrease is considered in
reality good showing, in view of
the general business depression
that prevailed during the greater
part of the year.
Moreover, it is believed more
than two-thirds of the decrease
will be Offset by an lncrerse in
utility values of approximately
81, 100000, the latter figure being
an estimate, as the utility assess
ments are not yet complete.
In spite of the decrease, the
states total revenue from taxes,
exclusive of utility taxes, will be
$13O, 1888 more than last year, ow.
ing to an increase in the tax rate
from 4. to 4.8 miles.
