of white hops and malt extracts, the
eighteen prominent druggists who have

Whether or not the ordinance Is
erased from the books the druggists
will have to pay the aggregate sum of
$6,(00 Into the city's coffers, so It has
been ruled by City Attorney Jamts L.
Mayson, who holds that the ordinance
has been violated In the past and Its
removal will only apply to the future.
A similar rase to this one came up
several weeks ago, when Inspector
Ewing was successful in mnklng flv

the city pev a rectifying tax. The tax
was stricken from the books by the
tax committee when the liquor men
appeared before It, but the liquor men

from paying the tax and much Interest
has been awakened In the outcome.

KING OF SERVIA
FEARS A REVOLT
ATLANTA WATER
WILL BE MUDDY
RESTOFSUMME
Filters and Coagulating
Basin Not Equal to the
Demand.
Thirsty Atlanta will have to drink
muddy water during the closing days
of the hot summer months.
The only alternative, so it was stat
ed In the report of Manager Park
Woodward to the wat#£. commlaelon
ere Wednesday afternoon, le to en
laige t ii,. en purity of the fitter* (ltd
the coagulating basin. ■
Tbe report t . niched upon many points
of widespread Interest In a community
which prides itself on Its pure water
and the abundance thereof. It set
forth with numerical proof that, with
tho present equipment and the enorm
ous amount of water being used, ‘
would be impossible to maintain
proper fire pressure throughout an <
t«in I'll ivnilMgiiiti'in. Further It show
ed that water was being forced through
the filters at a rate double their ca.
•city aipl that during the month o_
uly all previous records were broken
by tho amount of alum it was neree-
•-ury m use in the coagulating basins.
Uaing Muoh More Alum.
Tho average amount of alum used Is
1-6 of a grain to a gallon of water.
During July 1.4 grains waa used to
gallon. During the month mentioned
another record was broken when the
gauges showed 100,(49,000 gallons of
water had been consumed In Atlanta.
During July, 1005, there were $86,760,
(00 gallons used. This 15,000,000 gal
ion iiirr.iin.-i' would havo probably
been oven greater had the weather
been normally hot.
Malinger woodward used aa an ex
nmple of the present equipment's ca
pacity, tha fast made by the South'
pastern Tariff Association at the Cand'
lor building July 20. At that time
Mnnager Woodward telephoned to the
pumping station to give the fire pres
sure of 160 pounds. It took half an
hour to get up sufficient steam to work
two of the pumps. It was then found
that tha boilers were not sufficient to
hold up a 100-pound (team pressure.
Seven were fired up. This left only
two as reserve. Even with the seven
boilers running, only a 06-pound steam
pressure could be maintained.
The report states further that had
the test lasted a half hour longer, It
would have been necessary to turn the
muddy water from the reeervolr Into
the clear water basin so as to havo
sufficient water for tho pumps. While
tho teat was being made every filter
In the .filter house was In operation.
that
will soon be Impossible to keep up
with tho amount of water used regu
larly In Atlanta, and that before the
summer Is over it will be found neces
sary to turn the muddy water of the
reservoir Into the clear water basin.

Panama toward American cltlsene
becoming the cause of tension In that
new republic, over which the United
States has undertaken a sort of paren
tal cars.
A Isttsr from Hocas del Torro says
that without notification, without pro
cess ot law and without condemnation,
the Panama government sent survey
ors on the property of Captain George
Fltxgereld, manager of the Baltimore
end Bocae del Torro Fruit and Trans
portation Company, owner of a tract
of land at Boras, cut streets through
It and laid off nineteen lots, which have
been sold te the owner’s tenants. This
deprives the cltlsen of Baltimore of his
Income from rentals, totally destroying
his business.
Captain Pltsgerald's lawyer at Pana
ma says $100,006 must be the cost ot
this ''unwarrantable, clear case of high
way robbery—a clean cut confiscation
of another’s property." This amount
will be sued for.
for the year 1906.
By Mr. Buchanan of Ware: Sixty
dollars for the relief of Drurilla Whit
ley. widow of Perry Whitley, for the
year 1906.
By Mr. Jenkins of Putnam: To pay
the $60 pension to Jasper Deeee for
tbe year 1906.
How can the city be expected to de
anything along placing paving on
Peachtree street unless ths residents of
that thoroughfare know whnt they
want?" asked Mayor Woodward Thurs
day morning. "As long as they fight
between themselves they cannot ex- j
pect the city to do anything; but lf|
they will settle on the kind ot paving;
wanted, then council trill reach a!
speedy decision. In the meantime It#!
hardly Just to criticise tho city." 1
Mayor Woodward, while stating this, I
aeemed to feel that the city Is hems i
done a great Injustice by several of;
the Atlanta papers, which continue to|
harp on the subject, laying the blame,
at the door of the city. !
There ere now two petitions—both,
eo the mayor ashl. legal and both, so *
some one else said, having signal urea!
of a majority of the property holders, i
Although at present It would be Im- j
possible to produce tho money for a'
new paving, still In October a naw [
apportionment sheet will be made up, *
and If a decision has been reached byi
that time the city, authorities wIIIi
doubt leas find ways nnd means of bear-1
Ing the city’s portion of tho expense. j
