The ordinance, asking for an Invest! gallon, was passed without a dissenting vote. It stated that there are houses of disorderly nature near the school.

After one hour of discussion, during which time Captain Ellis and Mr. Wlm- blsh, of the law firm of Ellis, Wltnblsh A Ellis, were heard from. It was de cided to hold the franchise of the elec tric railway between this city, Griffin and Macon until the next session of council for definite action. Several of the council members stated that they could net vote on ao Important an ordi nance as the one drawn up by city At torney Mayeon, gl company, without slderatlon. It trai lea made and one furnished each of t counctlmen. The feature of the ordinance was tho rate of taxation. It stated that the company musf pay annually 3 per cent of the gross receipts In Atlanta for tho first five years and 5 per cent for tho remaining time of the franchise. This la aside from utfy other taxation that may be levied, and is to be based on u G-cent fare for every person riding In the city. There Is also to be a tax on the gross receipts of express hauled.

Liquor Men May Hire Minors.

The age limit was fixed at 16 years by .the committee, but Councilman Foster suc cessfully fought this down, saying It defeated the very spirit of the ordi nance. The ordinance prohibiting enloon men from selling or giving liquor to members of the police force under a penalty of $100 or 10 days or the revo cation of license was sent back to the ollco board. The situation created •y the ordinance has been unique. When It first came up many of the councllmen spoke for It. Later the members of the police force showed their strong aversion to It, and de clared they would not vote for any one who had voted for It. About half of Its supporters switched. MeyorWood- ward spoke for the measure when It first came up; but, after Its passage, he wrote that the penalty was too heavy. City Attorney Mayeon construed this as a veto and the council failed to pass the ordinance over the mayor's veto. The vote Mondoy stood to to 10, Can't Rellroed Railroad Ordinance.
