Macon Citizen Seeks Back Taxes From Mills
In Macon on August 26 a mandamus case challenged the Bibb Manufacturing Company and Macon Knitting Mills for about 70000 in back taxes. Judge Felton signed an order delaying further action until September 30, as counsel reached agreement. The dispute stems from a long running contract with the city council and mayor leaving portions of taxes unpaid. Meanwhile city detective Talley Jenkins heads to Philadelphia to pursue J C Hansen who passed through Macon with a 350 draft fraudulently obtained from C C Foor. Lawyers Haysound and Cutts deny fraud in the Southern Realty and Investment Company matter as their demurrer succeeded on the first charge, with remaining issues to be tried.
