CITY'SDEBT CUT
$4,000 YEAR..
MAYOR REPORTS
Council Informally Told of I'M
provement When Budget For
1922 Is Presented

Americas collected $739 in 1921 in
excess of thes estimated revenue as
itemized in the first budget, formu-
lated and adopted year ago, Mayor
Sheppard informed the city council
last night in presenting the second
annual budget. At the same time
The informally told the council that
the city's indebtedness had been re-
duced during the year approximately
$27, 600, the bonded debt being cut
from $257, 900 to $246,000; the float
ing debt from something over $92,-
600 to .$83,164.18; and the unpaid
vouchers from over $4,000 to $t3,-
|256.43.
The budget for, 1922 showed an
I'estimated revenue of $97, ,451.65, and
estimated expenditures of $93,665.-
These figures, it is believed, are ac-
curate, having been made up from
the experiences of last year in every
case. The discrepancies in the first
budget were surprisingly small, it was
reported, and the new estimates are
regarded as safe in every item.
Cuts have been made in several de-
partments ass result of the lower
price of commodities, such as feed
for mules and supplies and the drop
in the price of labor. In no case,
said Mayor Sheppard, had service
been curtailed by the decreases.
In addition, several items of per-
manent improvement appear, among
them a $4,000 item in the water de-
partment estimate to cover the cost.
of replacing the 4-inch water main
on McGarrah street, which is too
small, with 6-inch pipe. This i'm
provement must be made at once be-
cause of the county's next rural paw
ling program beginning on this street
and extending out the Ellaville road.

session by stating the split of the
treaty was fundamental and irrevoca-

CREATORS in RADIO
FIELD FAILED TO
PROTECT PATENTS
Crude Construction Of
Early Sets Led to
Many Suits.
RECENT RULINGS
Courts Decide Damages Can
Be Collected in Cases
Of Infringements.

1t is said more infringements on
patents have been made in the radio
field than in any other line of activ-
ity. Because of the crude construc-
tion of early sets, which embodied
the same principles governing the
construction of more elaborate radio
sets, inventors were seldom protect
ed on their original devices It is
possible, however. to recover an
infringement as explained in the
following cases.
In equity the rule for recover
ing for infringement of a patent is
that where the net profits earned
by reason of the infringement do
not sufficiently compensate the
owner of the patent for its infringe
ment, there may, in a proper case,
be awarded damages in addition to
the ascertained net profits, and puni-
tive damages may be awarded in
the courts discretion. but ordinari-
ly, the pecuniary gains arising from
sales Of an infringing article dis
close the. usefulness and CONNER
cial value OF the thing invented, as
well as its disadvantages, and may
well constitute a guide to the true
measure of damages. (Phila. Rub
Der Works Co. VS.. u. S. Rubber Re-
claiming Works. 276 F. 6O0)
1t is a well-established principle
of law that the issuance of a later
patent is, prima facia. a presumption
of a patentable difference between
it and an earlier patent. as laid
down in a number of decisions of
the Supreme Court of the United
Eagle Mfg. Co. G51 U. S., 1860. Re-
lying on this decision and others,
the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. in
Western Well Works. Inc. VS.. Layne
& Bowler Corporation (276 F. 465),
again expressed the rule that the
issuance of a later patent raises
a presumption that the invention
claimed is different from that of
an earlier patent. and the burden of
proof rests upon the complainant
to esta ablish infringement. 1t must
nevertheless be remembered that
despite this presumption it is quite
possible for a patent to be infringed
by a machine or an article which
itself may be covered by one or
more perfectly valid. later patents,
and the question involved is not
one of actual infringement but
merely of the burden of proof of
such infringement.
