LESS THAN THIRD
CITY TAXES PAID
Penalties Will Be Heavy After
Sept. 1--Corporations May
Possibly Escape.

Only s955, ,oS257 Of the practically
$3,O00,OO0 due the city OF Memphis for
1919 city taxes had been collected by
Jack Hessen, city treasurer, at the
close Of business Friday night. And
city taxes become delinquent on Sept
], 1919
Instead Of getting better as the date
Of delinquency approaches the tax col
lectlons are coming In slower, accord
Ing to Mr.. Hessen, Only s27, 900 was
collected Friday, and one $40 bill OF that
was counterfeit.
Warning az to delinquency, and the
penalty attached thereto, was sounded
Saturday by Mr. Hessen Persons who
do not pay their taxes In the city be-
fore Sept. l are subject to, and will
have to pay, an additional per cent,
plus "a Of ! per cent interest, for the
first month they are deliquent And
the penalty Is increased with every
month the taxes go unpaid
In the absence Of assessments against
public service corporations from the
state public utilities commission, the
city commission, before Sept !, will au-
thorize the city treasurer to collect
taxes from all such corporations on the
basis |of the assessment for 1918. In
event Of an Increase In assessment. the
public service corporation must pay the
Increased tax on boosted valuation, but
In event of decrease in assessment, a
refund will be made by the city. This
would place the big corporations on a
par with the small home owner, who,
under old plans would be swatted for
the penalty II he did not kick in
promptly, while the big fellow would
escape, provided the big corporations
did not hold back on the ground that
the state commission alone could fix its
assessment and that II could not be
made to pay until after the state board
should haye certified Its assessment.

AUTOS COME BY
THEIR OWN POWER
Agents Solve Gar Shortage by
Driving Through From
Detroit Factory.

Unable to get delivery on automo-
biles IN sufficient numbers to meet
their demands on account of the freight
car shortage, w H. Ciaypool. manager
Of the Memphis Motor Car company,
will leave with 16 men for Detroit,
Mich, Sunday to drive back a consign-
ment OF new cars At least one indus
try is not at the mercy of the failure
in railroad transportation. During the
quired for the handling of war sup
plies the automobile concerns proved
that overland delivery Of cars and
trucks was practicable, but 1t was not
believed that 1t would be necessary to
resort to that method under peace con-
ditions.
The suggestion has been made to the
lumber concerns who are threatened
with shutdown of their mills unless
they can solve the problem Of getting
flat cars to haul in their logs, that
they roll their logs in, but the lumber
men are not taking kindly to the sug-
gestion.
Delivery of gravel is said to be about
so per cent of normal and II the situa-
tion does not improve with respect to
getting more gravel cars, serious de-
lay threatens the work on the hun
dreds of miles of good roads that are
under construction in West Tennessee,
Arkansas and mississippi. Some gravel
is moving, but the pits are not able to
get cars In sufficient numbers to handle
their output, not to meet the insistent
demands of road contractors.
Railway men say that the lumber
industry is largely to blame for the
situation that confronts 1t for not
hauling in the logs promptly while traf-
fic was slack
