State Delegation is RigidIy In

MACON, May pa. B. Jack

Peach Growers exchange; ]. G.

made for the opening of the cooper
alive shipping inspection service on
Georgia peaches.
This move is Of importance to
every grower and shipper of Geor-
gia peaches, and other perishabld
products" said Mr.. Jackson. every
factor handling Georgia peaches is
DESTROYS of giving to the buying
trade the very best quality both on
grade and pack that has ever left
the state. To date growers have
made special effort through eff
Iicient cultural operations to pro-
duce such peach, and it is their
intention to inspect at shipping
points by disinterested and an
prejudiced inspector. No grower
cares to load peaches that will not
come up to the standard set by the
inspection"
"All inspections will be made at
the packing houses of the different
growers. The inspector will advise
the grower or his representative
when ever his peaches are graded
wrongly. This service will assist
the whole section in making uni
form grade and pack. The grade
condition and quality will be given
on a certificate and placed in the
hands of the sales manager. What
the grower receives for his car Of
peaches will depend naturally upon
how well he has packed and graded
them"

Operating Income and Expen-

Eight Months Detailed
REPORT ON THE WATER
Chlorine Must Still be Used
Detailed Statement of
Plant Cost Is Given

The city commission, in meeting
last night, received report on the
financial experience of the water
plant, under city ownership, for the
eight months ending on August /.
The report showed operating prof
it of $20,63O.92 for this period. The
water plant acquisition and new
building was financed by a bond is
sue and special assessment war
rants. The bond issue of $460,000
necessitates an interest payment of
$25,35O year or $4,000 for eight
months. The special assessment
warrants total $2OO,O75.OO, the in
terest charge being $13,5O5.06 per
year. The estimated amount Of the
IS percent reduction in rates made
by the city is $4,000 per year.
The net income of the water plant,
based upon the rates charged when
the water plant was under private
ownership, would exceed the total
interest charges by few thousand
dollars. The report on the oper-
ating expenses of the plant does
not include any charge for depreci-
alton, included for private plants
The profit is not enough to take
care of this figure.

HAIL HITS
NEAR M0FFIT'
Considerable Damage Done to
Strip Through There

i A hail storm in the vicinity of
Moffit yesterday afternoon about a
o'clock did damage to crops on many
farms, according to reports today.
States Attorney Allen, who was
about three miles east Of Motif, said
there was a bad hail storm which
caused heavy loss in that vicinity.
The extent of the storm, which ap-
parentIy covered fairly narrow
strip, could not be ascertained.
The 500 line agent at Moffit re-
ported to division headquarters here
today that there was hail storm
around Moffit but reported the DAM
age was not extensive.
Hail storms reported to the state
hail insurance department in the
last few days include:
Jason Hoover and L. F. Bunker,
farmers living five miles south of
Brittin and about five miles west of
Moffit, reported total loss frabn
hail last evening about 6 o'clock.
Adolph Geovononi, living about two
miles west of them, reported fifty
percent loss. The storm, it Us be-
lieved, struck about Geovononi's place
and went on southeast beyond Motif.
Hail STORMS reported to the state
hail insurance department in the last
few days include: near Mott, near
Manning, Dunn county; north of
Arena, Burleigh county; in Towner
county, in southeastern Dickey coun-
ty. Not many total losses were re-
ported.
Last night, according to reports to
the 500 line, there was heavy wind
and rain from Drake to Max, but
there was no hail.

DELINQUENT
TAKES SHOWN
Report Made to City Commits
sion Shows Over $4,000
Due

The question of delinquent per-
sonal taxes was raised again last
night at the city commission meet
ing, when City Assessor Falconer,
who had been directed to collect de-
linquent road and school poll tax,
presented statement of delinquent
personal tax.
The commission on motion of Com
missioner Thompson directed the city
attorney: to take steps to see that
proper authorities make an effort to
collect the taxes due.
A considerable portion of the per-
sonal property tax, according to Mr..
Falconer, could have been collected
had the proper authorities made a
prompt effort to do so. Some of it
is lost, some of those owing having
left the city or the firms having
gone out of business.
The delinquent personal property
tax for the years 1918 to 1922, for the
city Of Bismarck, was shown as fol-
lows: road and school poll $4,333.0O;
state taxes $3,524.79; county's share,
$10,612.55; city of Bismarck share
$17,467.29; Bismarck schools $19,-
.35-total $55, 382.98.
There has been some dispute as to
the proper authority to enforce col
lection of taxes, the city taking the
position it is the duty of the county
treasurer while the treasurer helds
it is the duty of the county auditor
and commissioners and sheriff.
