4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. fkidav. jn.Y y>, i»w BOARD IS SILENT; RUMOR IS ACTIVE AT THEJTY HALL Water Commissioners Will Not Talk About In vestigation. Municipal circles have been awaken' ed to treat Interest b>> the Inveatlga tlon of the water work* books by I special committee appointed at the reg- ular meeting of the water board Wed nesday afternoon. The special committee, composed of J. B. Harwell, D. N. McCullough and J. D. Turner. It Is believed will go over the books In person or have an expert accountant to do the work. This, however, Is only a surmise, as those composing the committee refuse to say what their plans are. The ut most of secrecy Is being maintained. Alderman Harwell stated Friday that Hr. Turner was chairman of the spe cial committee, although It was previ ously understood that Mr. Harwell was chairman of the Investigating commit tee. and that Mr. Turner was chairman of a special committee that reported at the last session of the commissioners. This committee among other things re voked the rule alowlng employees to purchase coal at the pumping stations, reported that a bookkeper was not needed at the pumping station and re voked the rule allowing the officials of the water works free water when stationary gauges are kept In their homes. This latter Is a long-time standing rule and revoking It created some surprise. The report was ac cepted. Mr. Turner stated Friday that he would not make public any of his plans, that his committee had already made an Investigation, and that the report would be presented, but he would not state when. It Is probable that he was speaking of the special committee above mentioned. Because of the secrecy which Is be ing maintained, city hill Is agog with rumors that something is wrong In the department. KNOT STONE Miss Lloyd, of DcKalb County, Badly Hurt iu Runaway.
