1919 Dog Taxes

? The FALCON made enquiry this week,
at the Office Of Trustee j. 7. Jordan
about sthe 1919 Dog Taxes in this
county and found that there are now in
the Trustees hands about 81, 500 of this
fund. losses having been paid for eight
sheep killed by dogs during the year. 1t
was also learned that County Assessor
). K. Bradsher has not yet turned in his
report from the districts he collected the
dog tax personally, the amount in the
bands of the Trustee coming from dis
trlcts 10 the central and eastern part
OF the county where deputies collected
the tax. II was stated that MIR. Brad
sher has about SO. 900 in hand which he
has collected, and which is yet to be
turned into the Trustees office. The
year is not out until May, that is trans
fer OF the residue of this fund to the
county school fund does not take place
till May !, but it ls safely estimated
that the Dog Tax for 1919 viii produce
around $1,000 school money, and that
If close campaign Is made for 1920 an
evan larger amount can be collected for
this fund. The losses from sheep kill.
ed By dogs are considerably lessened
because 80 many worthless rowing dogs
are killed aud that 10 the KIDD of dog
that does most Of sheep killing.
The Dog Tax was fairly we'll collect

entire msmbsfship Of The court ex-
pressed themselves e. favOring the pur.
chase and It wss informally agreed that
the codes were to be shipped the JUS
tees AZ once and the application prop
erly 6Ied With the court for action at
the next term OF court. The number
to be purchased was fixed at SO, one for
each member. and to cost S25 each. q
total Of $500.
W. 7. Scott Esq. of Macon offered
his resignation and 1t was accepted.
This makes three vacancies now 10 the
court, the corporation magistrate at
LaGrangs and another vacancy in the
thirteenth district. and the place Of
Esq. Scott.
The docket being unusually short, it
was disposed of quickly, the new and
miscellaneous business taking more of
the courts time than did the docket.
