CAN'T PUBLISH
TAX VALUATIONS
Too Expensive and In
wolves Liability on City
Says Mayor

The proposition to levy $40 an
nual head tax for the support of
Americus' schools was first brought
to the attention of city council at
its regular meeting yesterday. The
matter was presented in resolutions
adopted by the Americus Topographic
cal union, protesting against its en-
actment, and the resolutions Were're-
ceived and ordered to so notify the
officers of that organization. The
suggestion contained in the resolu-
tions that council order all assess
ments made by property owners pub
lished by the city was laid by Mayor
Sheppard to be too expensive, and
impractical because of this feature
He was thereupon asked by R. c.
Moran, an officer of the printers or
ganization, if council would consent
to authorize official publication of
these figures, provided money for de-
fraying the expense be furnished by.
interested parties. This he consid
cred impractical, also saying there
was some danger involved of the city
being sued in the event errors crept
into the published returns, but said
the figures would be made available
to any individual who might want to
review them.
The suggestion in another set of
resolutions that one wage worker
be placed on the board of assessors
was referred to by the mayor. He
said this suggestion had appealed to
him as most practical. and suggested
that inasmuch as the city assessors
are to be chosen at the next meet
ing of council the people be inform
ed that council is favorably consid-
ering placing such a man on the
board. In the discussion that fol
lowed, it was brought out that it
probably would be difficult to secure
a wage worker for this position, ow-
ing to the fact that most of these
find it impossible to get away from
their accustomed work for time suf-
ficient to attend to the duties of the
office. 1t was also said the place
offers an opportunity for service to
the community, and workers having
suggested the placing of such man
on the board should cooperate in the
effort to have one accept the place. |.
Organizations interested in this pro-
posal are requested to take the mat
ters up with Mayor Sheppard, who
will be pleased to receive further sug-
gestions, such as the names of suit
able men who might be secured to
act as assessors.
