Norcross.
Norcross, Ga., Nov. 6, 1871.
In compliance with a general call,
a large and enthusiastic meeting of
the citizens of Norcross was held at
the New Academy Building this
night for general consultation.
On motion the meeting was organ
ized by calling Hon. James P. Sim.
mcna to the chair, and requesting
J. S.„Peterson to act as Secretary.
On assuming his duties the Hon.
Chairman, in a short but felicitious
and pointed speech announced the
object of the meeting to be to con
sult together, and exchange views
with one another as to the best
measures to be adopted to promote
the interests of this rapidly growing
community, and asking such legisla
tive action as might be necessary to
perfect a municipal organization, and
to confer on the authorities powers
surficiently ample to insure the quick
and complete enforcement of the laws,
and the establishment of a first class
High School, etc.
By request of the Chairman, the
Secretary made a few remaks in re
gard to the great desirableness of
Norcross as a place of residence gen
erally, and particularly as a suburban
residence for persons engaged in bu
siness in Atlanta, on account of the
superior excellence of the water, its
elevation, the salubrity of its atmos
phere, the cheapness and eligibility
of town lots for rsidencos, the ceap
ness of labor, living, and building
materials, and its convenient distance
and accessibility from Atlanta. He
dwelt upon the importance of making
it attractive by the early establish
ment of good schools, and assuming
at once a high tone of morals, and
giving assurance of full security to
person aad property by rigidly enforc
ing law.
Col. J. J. Thrasher then rose and
remarked that it was thought the
charter waa defective in some partic
ulars, and it was believed to be ad
visable to have it amended, and, if
need be strengthened. He concluded
by asking the Chairman to suggeet
needful improvments, whereupon Col.
Simmons stated he had carefully road
and considered the charter, and that
with a few changes it might be regar
ded strong enough to accomplish all
desired ends. He said that with a
provision enabling official incumbents
to bold over until their successors
weie elected and qualified; and by
authorizing the Clerk to issue execu
jons, and empowering the Marshal
to pursue violators of law, and collect
fines beyond the corporate limits; an
other making the Intendant and
each Commissioner, eac officio, a Jus
tice of the Peace; and another author
izing the Marshal to appoint one or
more deputies, the charter would be
as nearly perfect as our present, and
immediate future circumstances would
'require.
Then, on motion of Col. Thrasher,
a committee consisting of Messrs. J.
P. Simmons, J. A. Miller, and J. S.
Peterson, was appointed to draft re
quired arrerdmenU, and secure their
adoption by the Legislature.
On motion ofC. K. Lewis, M. D.,
n commitee, consisting of Mesrs. J. J.
Thrasher, C. K. Lewis, Dr.
Boting, ——— Lively, and Thomas
H. Jones, was appointed to report
to the next meeting the beet and
quickest method of securing
tion of yet more commodious and ex
tended Academy Buildings, and
additional number of experienced
superior instructors, and providing
ways and means for the early accom
plishment of these very infportant obj
jects.
In response to calls a large uumbor
of those present responded in remarks
of the most cheering and hopeful
character respecting Norcross and its
prosperity, which were enthusiastical
ly received aud cheered.
On motion made, all present, by a
rising vote, pledged themselves to
the utmost of their ability in the
enforcement of laws, and preserving
good order, and that the action a J
the majority in future lowu meetings
should be recognized by the citizens
and town authorities as the will of
the people.
It was then moved by Mr. Wigley
that a committee of five be appointed
to inquire into and report to the
next meeting upon the expediency
and practicability of extending our
railroad facilities and connections. —
The motion being unanimously
adopted, the Chairman appointed
Messrs. J. S. Peterson, Wigley,
J. J. Thrasher, McElroy, «nd
Holcombe said committee.
On motion of Mr. Lively :
Resolved, That, until otherwise
determined, the citizens of Norcross
hold town meetings the first Monday
night in each month.
Moved by Mr. George Wallis; and
carried :
That the proceeding of this meet
ing be published in the daily parers
of Atlanta, and iu the Gwinnett Her
ald.
The meeting then adjourned.
