TENNESSEE MAYORS
FOR CONSULTATION
WILL A8K THE LEGISLATURE TO
PA88 A PROPERTY ABUTTING

MAY ASK FOR CHARTER CHANGE
Demand Hat Been Forced on Ac
count of the Increased Expense
In Municipalities. No Gensral
Law Now Applying.
There has been a call for a meeting
of the mayors of the cities of the
state, in Nashville Thursday Jan
uary 16, for the purpose of consider
ing the enactment of a property abut-
ting tax law. Mayor Joe Dedman is
In receipt of one of the calls from
the Nashville Board of Trade, to
gether with a statement of the facts
upon which it is expected to base
the request of the solons, and will
attend the gathering.
The mayor and city recorder look
with favor upon the proposition and
are of the opinion that a general law
should be enacted covering this mat
ter, and if this cannot be done then
the legislature will doubtless be ask
ed to change the charter of the city
granting it special permission t" as
sess the taxes.
The increasing demand for public
improvements in municipalities and
the consequent drain upon the rev
enues of cities, has made it neces
sary for them to husband their re
sourvces to the greatest advantage
to construct all public improvements
necessary without a burdensome tax
rate.
Experience has taught that munici
palities cannot supply the necessary
improvements by the general reven
ues and bond issues. And in ordor to
meet these necessities laws have
ben enacted in many of the states
enabling an abutting poperty assess
ment. These laws relate almost ex
clusively to street paving, guttering
and grains which naturally enhances
the value of the property.
There are no general state laws
In Tennessee applying to this char
acter of assessment, and some of the
cities have found It necessary to se
cure special legislation applying to
their government alone.

STANDING BY THEIR PLEDGES
Regulars Receive No Encouragement
From the Delegation Church, Den
ton and Long Expected to Make
Mark in the Legislature.
Maury county's representatives in
the general assembly to convene at
Nashville next Monday will leave for
the capital city on Saturday morning.
Both representatives Denton and
Long will go up on the accommoda
tion and they will also be joined by
Senator Church. They leave on Sat
urday in order that they may be able
to engage in the conferences and cau
cuses that will be held that night.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Messrs. Church, long and Denton are
recognized men of character and in
tegrity and were elected upon plain
platforms and were known of all men
to be opposed to the domination of
the liquor machine and the back tax
plunderbund, overtures have teen
made to them by representatives of
the special interests. All have re
ceived letters from "regulars" invit
ing them into a "caucus" of alleged
"democrats." And it is even said
that Senator Church has been ap
proached by representatives of the
liquor power who intimated that they
would show him the promised land If
he would yield a willing ear to their
blandishments. Of course Senator
Church and Representatives Long
and Denton have paid no attention
whatever to the siren song of har
mony" and liquor domination, and
there is not a man in Maury county
who knows them, who for an instant
believes that they will do otherwise
than stand true to their platform
pledges.
In fact it would no doubt be a
source of everlasting gratification to
Messrs. Church, Long and Dencon if
they could hear the confidence that Is
every day expressed in them when
the question of the organization of
the legislature Is discuss
ed. "If every county had
elected members as honest, as faith
ful and as true as we did in Maury
county the people could go to sleep
with the assurance that the liquor
power and the back tax plunnderbund
would be forever driven from the

Not so many years ago bank
depositors on the farm and in
the smaller towns were forced

with small institutions Fre
quently they could not even
have the satisfaction of know

New Year Dance at Bethel.

dance at the Bethel House Wednes
day night included a number of out

the occasion was furnished by Pelle

lors and dining room of the Bethel

greens prevailing, while the electric
globes were shaded with a soft crim
