TAX COLLECTIONS
MAY Be SHORT Of
EXPECTED FIGURE
Failure of Public Utilities to
Pay on Amounts Assessed
Is Given as Cause-Large
Amount May Be Tied Up.

Collections of city revenues for
1920 will fall somewhat below the
amount anticipated by the commits
sioners at the beginning Of the year,
according to figures compiled by c.
r. shannon, commissioner of ac-
counts, finance and revenues. The
deficit under expectations, however,
If 1t does actually occur. will be due
to the failure of the Memphis Street
Railway company, the Memphis Gas
and Electric company and the Rock
Island properties in the city to pay
taxes on the full assessment value
and the action OF these companies In
seeking to enjoin the city froc col
lecting on over two thirds valuation.
Commissioner Shannon's figures
show the amount collected for the
first ten months of the year, as com
pared to the amount anticipated at
the beginning of the year when the
citys budget was made up. The
total anticipated from all sources
was placed at $3,272,362. The
amount collected up to and including
Oct. 81 amounted to $2,S19,5760e, or
$3.50, 1851 less,

pretty well collected. But. the shape

Mayor And School
Boards To Confer

A joint meeting Of the old and new
school boards has been called Tor
Friday afternoon in the office OF
Mayor Paine at the courthouse to
discuss the financial problems of the
school board.
Members OF the two boards have
agreed to ask the legislature for au-
thority to issue 100000 of bonds
to be issued at the rate of 100000
year for four years, and an in
crease In the mandatory tax rate
from 80 cents to 10 cents, with an
additional cent for free textbooks
and half a cent for teachers penn
sions.
The mayor has announced that he
will oppose any increase in the tax
rate al this time above the so cents
now mandatory on the city. He in
timated, however, that should the
need be shown he would be willing
for the city to increase the rate
above SO cents, a power granted the
city by the supreme courts inter-
probation OF the law. Regarding the
bond issue, the mayor says that IL
the need can be shown. he may give
his consent TO the issue. but pendt
ing this, he doubts If the amount
asked by the board is needed at this
time. ST.

R1diUn, Rays And
X-Rdys Needed To
Combat Diseases

Rays OF radium are 80 times more
penetrating than %-rays, but the
therapeutical effects Of both are nee
essary in combating malignant dis
eases, according TO DIR. w. s. Law
renee, OF Memphis, in addressing the
Tri- States Medical association In
convention at the Hotel Gayoso, on
Thursday morning.
DR.. Lawrence related an amusing
incident in connection with the in
stallation of radium treatment at the
Baptist hospital here, where he, at
the time was in charge Of the X-ray
department. Although there was but
30 milligrams of radium in the first
supply at the hospital. 1t was placed
in the big iron safe, because OF its
immense value.
Shortly afterward. DR.. Lawrence
found that he could no longer pro-
duCe good X-ray plates at the hos
pital, although those made in his own
office were excellent. 1t was found
on investigation that the entire sup
ply of X-ray plates had been ruined
by the rays of the radium, which had
penetrated the iron walls of the safe
On the other hand. pointed out
Dr. Lawrence, the X-ray has the
same effect upon the skin in six
minutes that the rays of radium take
hours to produce. For Illustration. of
relative strengths of the two ele-
ments he pictured two croquet balls.
into one Of which had been driven
1870 nails. That ball, said DR.. Law
renee, would represent SO milligrams
of radium, the nails being the rays.
The ball representing an X-ray tube
would then, on the same basis, have
to contain 100000 nails.

Of the assessment made by the state
public utilities commission, amounts
to about $4S5,000, or a sum sufficient
to bring the total actually collected
up above the anticipated figures.
However. the action of the street
railway receivers, the gas company
receivers and owners of the railroad
property referred to, bids fair to tie
up probably more than Sl50,000 in
the courts. While the city is san
guine of beating this fight in the
courts, ii is probable that the issue
will not be decided finally in time
for the city to collect the taxes be-
fore the turn of the year Should
the commissioners be fortunate
enough to have the fight determined
in their favor at an early date, and
all other utilities come across at
once, the year will end with actual
collections falling little If any be-
hind the amount anticipated.
