Public Utility Tax Fight Sparks City Debate
Hoke Smith and Judge George Hillyer defend city interests against H. M. Atkinson backed proposals. They argue Atlanta street railways and electric plants pay only about 20 percent tax on market value while other property pays 40 to 75 percent. They press for ad valorem and occupation taxes plus city oversight if consolidations create monopolies.
