TAXES LOWER IN
ONLYFIVESTATES
THANINGEORGIA
ATLANTA, May 30.—The tax com
mission appointed by the last legisla
ture to formulate and submit a revis-,
ion of the tax laws of the state, held
their last public session in the senate
chamber of the capitol Thursday. The
moating was marked by the absence of
Seaborn Wright, of Floyd, who was
expected to present his minority re
port and urge its substitution for the
majority opinion. In his absence, his
views were read by the secretary. John
N. Holder and Clifford Walker, pros-
pective candidates for governor, were
interested spectators at the hearing.
1 Senator H. R. DeJarnette, the prin
cipal speaker, declared that seventy
flxe per cent, of the property of Geor
, gia escapes taxation under the present
system. He showed that the • state
revenue is inadequate to meet current
expenses, and that a floating debt of
$3,000,000 has accumulated from time
to time. He explains the proposition
to reclassify property which has been
adopted by the commission, pointing
to it as a remedy for the existing evils. I
Georgia, he stated, cannot claim an'
over-burden of taxation. The tax pay- I
ments are at the rate of $2.55 per cap- ;
ita while that of the nations is an aver-1
age of $5.09 per capita; only five states i
in the union, he said, have a lower I
tax rate than the state of Georgia. The
meeting was largely attended by capi
talists and business men of Atlanta.

Gainesville|to Build
Concrete Highway
GAINESVILLE. May 30.—Within
the next’ few months Gainesville will
enjoy the distinction of being the
first town in Georgia with a population
of less than 25,000 to have a concrete
road. On May 3 a special appropria
tion of $50,000 was made by the city
council for the building of a three
mile concrete road, extending from
the outskirts of the city to the
edge of Gwinnett county. A like sum
will be given by the government for
the building of the road.
O n the same date a bond issue of
$600,000 was passed for the improve
ment of Hall county roads, but the
appropriation of $50,000 was a sepa
rate issue, that amount being left over
from the county treasury from 1918.
Surveying of the new road route has
begun and the actual construction
will begin in June .
