REVENUE RUNS
E. TO BIG FIGURES
COLLECTOR LOWE ESTIMATES
OVER $35 100000 FOR MAN
HAITIAN ISLAND.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-John Il.
Lowe, Jr., internal revenue collector
Of the district comprising the lower
part of Manhattan island, estimated
today that the internal revenue tax
collections from that district for the
year ending June 30 would amount to
$35,000,000 Or possibly $40000,000.
The collections in the district in 1915
were $26,000,000 or 6 1-3 per cent
of the total internal revenue receipts
OF the United States which amounted
to $415,869, ,875f These collections in
clude the corporation and individual
income taxes and the war tax collec-
tons under the emergency act. The
amount annually collected from this
district exceeds the aggregate collect
ed from 81 states.
Mr.. Lowe attributes the prospective
increase of upwards Of $9,000000 in
the collections from this district to
new bond issues Of corporations, trans
fers and the effect of The emergency
act. He regards the increase as d
reliable barometer of business pros
pcrity.

ALBERT SMITH NAMED
SECRETARY OFBOARD
FORMER WELL KNOWN BRUINS.
WIcKIAN ELECTED TO POSI-
TON BY BOARD OF TRADE d.
REcToRs YESTERDAY.

Albert NJ. Smith was yesterday
elected secretary of the Brunswick
Board of Trade at a melting of the
directors of that organization, and
which was held for the purpose of
naming a secretary.
Up to the hour of the meeting the
directors themselves did not know
who was going to be named. The con-
test. however, had narrowed down to
about four candidates, out of list of
some ten or fifteen applicants. The
directors were determined not to fur
ther delay the election, and the full
board attended, ready to vote for their
ballot was taken. The first vote
showed htat the directors We're badly
split, some three of four of the can
didates receiving votes. Other ballots
were taken, and Mr. Smith was soon
elected. Later his election was made
unanimous.
The new secretary is no stranger to
the people of Brunswick; in fact this
is practically his home. He went
through the high school in Brunswick
later engaged in the brokerage busi-
ness, of which he made a success,
selling this business when he was ap-
pointed postmaster here. Mr.. Smith
served as postmaster for three years,
resigning just four years ago to accept
a position in st. Louis. He later re-
turned to Atlanta, and has been re-
siding in that city for the past three
years. For over year Mr.. Smith was
field secretary of the Georgia chamber
of commerce, resigning that position
only a few weeks ago. In that capac-
ity he gained much experience in con-
nectiOn with the work which he will
perform as secretary of the local
Board of Trade.
-Mr- Smith mnquestionably has all of
the qualifications for the pUsttttii0117
and should make the board an eff
cient secretary. He Is young and en-
ergetic. a firm believer in Brunswick,
does not come handicapped by not
knowing the people, understands pret-
ty well the local situation, and all in
all seems just he man for the place.
The directors of the Board of Trade
have been slow in naming a successor
to Mr.. Weatherly. They realized that
the best man possible should be Sc
cured for the position, and with that
idea in view they thoroughly investi-
gated every man who made applica-
tion for the position. And in this con
nection it should be stated that some
of the gentlemen who were aspirants
for the place were highly recon-
mended.
Mr.. Smith will leave this morning
for Atlanta, but will return to the city
the latter part of the week or early
next week and will be ready to assume
the duties of his new position on
March first.
