ALL THREE TAX
BILLS PASSED
MEASURE WILL RESTORE To
TAX BOOKS PROPERTY NOW
OFF BY REASON OF TAX
SALES.
Tallahassee Bureau,
Pensacola Journal.

Tallahassee, May 23.--All three tax
bills introduced in the house last week
by the finance and taxation conanit-
tee passed this afternoon, with very
little opposition. Some time was con-
sumed in attempting to amend the
bills in various ways, but no amend
ments making material changes were
accepted. One in particular caused
much debate, and sought to include
franchises of corporations for assess
ment- This was lost. The three bills
will go to the senate tomorrow, and
will probably be made special order
for one day this week.
The first of the bills is the dupli-
cate of the bills introduced and pass
ed by both the senate and house
which was drawn by Senator Jones.
It's purpose is to restore to the tax
books the property now off the books
by reason Of tax sales. The other
two are supplementary, the first viii
enforce the payment of taxes while
the other quiets title and changes
the system of assessment.
Important Legislation.
The passage of these bills is re
garded by legislative leaders as the
most constructive measures to have
been passed at this session. The SEN
ate this afternoon took up Considera-
ton OF house bills and passed d good
number. Most are unimportant, mis-
cellaneous subjects, and passed. with
out opposition ~ debate. The house
committee substitute for Senator
Jones bill, providing for the resigna-
ton of executors and administrators,
passed the senate and becomes law on
signature of the governor. Though it
is a general measure, it has peculiar
interest in Pensacola.
The senate also passed a house bill
providing for the payment of tax as
SCISSORS in installments.
Escambia Gets Three.
A,provisiOn is made in the new re
apportionment bill which was intro
duced in the senate this afternoon
for three representatives for Escam-
bia county in the next legislature.
Under this bill, Duval, Hillsborough
and Escambia would have three each,
eight counties two each. and all 9th
er counties one each. The senatorial
reapportonment has EscamUIa cOun-
tv as the second district. This was
the plan as drafted by Senator Jones,
and for which the Escambia county
delegation has been working. Though
the house bill was drawn giving Es-
Gambia only two, it is believed that
the three will be inserted in the low
er branch also.
