Nigel had been one of the first to
answer his country's call, and since
then every one had been so good to
her. They had all taken it for grant

parting with him; they had all been
so sorry for her.
That had been the hardest part of
it all-the having to pretend, to eter-

the horrible truth that Nigel had

CONSOLIDATION
BILL APPROVED
House Committee Recommends
Passage of Measure to Com
solidate Tax Offices

ATLANTA, July 24.-On Tues
day afternoon the committee of the
house of representatives on amend
ments to the constitution favorably
recommended, by unanimous vote,
the passage of the bill of Senator
Stephen Pace, of the 18th district,
authorizing the consolidation of the
offices of tax collector and tax re-
ceiver in the several counties of
the state. The bill passed the SEN
ate last summer and will now go
on the house calendar for final ac
ton by that body with every indi-
cation that it win be adopted.
Senator Pace, the author, appear
ed before the house committee in
behalf of the bill; in the course of
his argument he stated that while
it was now costing between six and
eight thousand dollars each year in
his home county of Sumter, by way
of fees, to pay these two officers,
it would be possible to save sew
eral thousand dollars of this eX-
pense by consolidating the two of
fees and placing the officer who
would hold the consolidated office
on a reasonable salary, sufficient
to command a capable and eff
cient man; he showed that there is
no necessity for two separate Of
fees, inasmuch as the tax receiv-
en- does his work in three or four
months in the spring of the year,
and then, when the returns are in
his work is completed and the books
are turned over to the tax collector,
who is busy until next spring when
the tax receivers duties begin
again; it was also shown that it is
left entirely optional with each
county as to whether or not the
two offices shall be consolidated
and the amount to be paid in each
county as salary.
The bill is in the nature Of an
amendment to the constitution OF
the state, and will have to be rati-
fled by the people at the general
election in November.
