Atlanta August 2 Special The Georgia House passed the general tax bill by 101 to 13 after opposing income tax and retaining the Alexander near beer provision. Chairman Reid warned of deficits totaling 880000 by Jan 1 1911 if appropriations rise. The bill largely mirrors the 1908 act aside from a $1.90 dog tax and boosts to non tax items.
