Prohibitive Tax Stirs City on Palm Readers and Phrenologists
A 300 dollar tax was urged on palm readers and phrenologists by the tax committee led by W Smith. An Ashley ordinance banning palm readers in Atlanta was revived under a new name while recent activity by a phrenologist clique was noted. The 1914 tax package also includes 14 dollars on autos and carriages and 40 dollars on pedlars selling produce, poultry or commission goods, with exemptions for Confederate Veterans and farmers selling their own wares.
