iCity Council Appropriates
$12,500.00 to Be Used in
Erecting fee and Cold Stor
age Plant.
The city council on last Thursday
made an appropriation of $12,500 to
be used in constructing an ice plant
In Louisville. This appropriation was
made under the condition that the
Louisville & Wadley R. R. would
extend spur track to the ice plant.
The proposed plant is to be con
structed near the city Electric Light
plant, which site will be made cxccs
sable by the building of anew dirt
rpad as a continuation of Greene
Street, this engineering project has
already been wonsed out and the
cost of building the road will not be
a part of the sum set aside for the
construction of ice plant. Louis
ville has long needed an ice plant
with cold storage rooms in connec
tion and every effort is being
brought to bear on the railroad au
thorities. It appears just now that
there will be no doubt about the
M Tajuisville & Wadley consenting to
extend their track since they have
already planned to extend a spur
track down to the lumber dry kiln
■ which is one of Louisville's recent
industrial developments, owned and
operated by Mr. S. E. Jones. If the
railroad authorities comply with the
t request of the cit ycouncil, Louis
* vflle will have one of the very best
ice plants in middle Georgia.
Mr. Nesbit Wingfield, an engineer
of wide experience and limitless abil
ity has been employed to manage
the project and with his assitance
the local council intends leaving no
stone unturned in erecting a plant
that will be serviceable, durable, and
economical.
i The daily capacity of the proposed
plant is to be eight tone, two tons
of which will be used in the cold
storage plant. The cold storage plant
is to have a capacity of fifty thou
sand pounds.
If this project is put through it
. will mean n\ore to the farmers and
townsmen in this section than any
improvement we have ever made.
The advantages of having an ice
plant with cold storage in connec
tion, are countless, but to the local
citizens the most interesting thought
is—the reduced price in ice and to
opr farmers the outstanding feature
will he the making it possible for
them to kill their hogs in summer or
winter and be assured of saving
every pound of their meat at a cost
|o small for consideration.

new kiln has a capacity of eighteen
thousand feet per day. In other
words the kiln is so managed that
eight thousand feet of lumber is
taken out each day- The kiln holds
three and one-half cars of lumber

U. D. C/S To Have Controll
Of Old Slave Market
Many Improvements Planned
The Louisville chapter of the Uni
tde Daughters of the Confederacy
have taken possession of the Slave
Market and plan many improvements
which will not only add to the at
tractiveness of the South's most val
uable relic but will improve the
looks of Louisville's business sec
tion.
Work has already started and
when completed the market will be
surrounded by a circular copiug of
same material as copings which have
recently been constructed around tile
center parks of Rroad Street. The
coping will exactly circle the eave
lines of the market and in so doing
will leave four half moon shaped
plots which will be filled with ever
greens and flowers. The present
weather boarding which extends up
ward from the ground about four
feet will be removed leaving only the
original four <jorner post. Around
each of these post will be planted
white and lavender wisteria. The
floor of the market will be concrete
and in the center of the market the
old bell which was used in 1758, will
be embedded in the concrete. .On
the side toward Mulberry Street a
section will f>e cut off and fitted
out for a ladies rest room. This
feature will add much to the attrac
tiveness of the old relic in that a
rest room for tourist and visitors
is much needed here.
A concrete walk will be laid on
each of the other three sides, mak
ing entrance frqm the north, south
and west sides of Broad Streett.
On each corner of side cupilo there
will be a bright light which will illu
minate the entire block. A veat and
and unusual fixture which be be al
together in keeping with the old
market has been selected, the fix
tures are to be the old carriage lan
tern type.
Several generations have lived and
gone and have permitted this valua
ble old relic to stand as an eye sore
rather than an attraction in the cen
ter of our business section, and in
deed it is very gratifying to think
that at lats a generation has come
into control that is progressive
enough to give tour Stare Market the
prominence and care that it tie
serves.

PRISONERS ATTEMPT TO
BREAK LOUISVILLE JAIL
On last Wednesday night Sheriff
Thomas heard an unusual noise in
the jail and rushed up stairs to find
some of the prisoners out of their
cells and in the run way where they
were chopping desperately on the
hrick wall with a chop hatchet. When
the sheriff reached the scene the
prisoners had just about made an
opening in the wall through which
they were to make their escape. It
is not known how the prisoners se
cured the hatched but it is generally
thought that some visitor had smug
gled it through to them. It seems
that the negro boy who attends the
jail had failed to turn the combina
tion on the cell lock and this en
abled the prisoners to make their
entrance to the hall way. There were
only five prisoners in jail and only
two of this number were actively
connected with the atempted jail
breaking. The sheriff states that A
ton Welch held in jail for trial for
stealing an automobile and Young
Hatcher who is to be tried for break
ing in a negroes smoke house, were
both in the run way and at work
with the hatchet, when he approach
ed. Both prisoners returned to their
cells without resistance.

ment. Over two car loads of iron
piping were used in building this
kiln, the piping being used to cir
culate the steam which drys the
lumber.
The plant is said to cost upward
of ?5,(>00. The big boiler used in
connection with the kiln is kept un

new enterprise will be profitable to
the owners. It is a certainty that it
will prove of much help to the
lumber industry here.

MOVEMENT STARTED
AMONG HAIL UNIONS
FOR WAGE INCREASE
Action Expected by U. S.
Railroad Labor Board Mem
bers to Become General by
Middle of Summer.
Chicago, April 17—One railroad
union, following close on the heels
of announcements of wage increases
among steel and packing house
workers has started the movement
among rail unions for higher wages
which is expected by the ITiitcd
States railroad labor hoard members
to become genera! by the middle of
summer. The railway and steamship
clerks, freight handlers and express
and station employes, numbering
about 200,000 and affecting about
50.000 more is completing negotia
tions to ask the carriers for a re-
turn of rates in pay effect prior
to July 1, 1921 an increase of ap
proximately $80,000,000 annually
over the present rates.
Meetings have been held in the
east and a final meeting will be
held here Thursday. when the
plans of the union will assume a
more definite shape. If the carriers
refuse this, officials plan placing
the request before the labor hoard
without delay. Other rail unions
reported to be in the movement for
higher wages denied today through
their officials that any concerted
movement was under way for high
er pay at present.
The maintenance ot way anion,
the telegraphers, signalmen and dis
patchers organizations are not hack
ing any demand for increased wages,
officials of these unions said to
day. At the same time, they ex
pressed the private opinion that in
creased costs of living which they
expect to be increased by the pas
raised in other industries, may force
the rail unions to go after higher
rates of pay.
Whatever activity for higher pay
that may be encountered among the
railroad employes must come from
the unions outside the “big four
brotherhoods,* agreements covering
wages having been concluded by
them with the roads several mouths
ago. and these agreements are ex
pected to stand throughout the year.

• budget is a.together good unless!
it includes a general customs tariff]
on manufacturers and agricultural
produce, nevertheless thinks that tlui
public will receive the budget gratc-|
fully. The moderate conservatn cjj

debt redemption and relief from*
taxation and sees little ground foil
fault finding.
Sound and Statesmanlike
The imperialist Daily Mirror pro
nounces the budget sound and states
manlike and thinks it should enable
the government to recover some of
the ground it has .lost. The inde
pendent Express calls it a model
budget, while the moderate liberal
Westminister Gazette says it is
mainly honest and far seeing and
will probably he popular.
The Daily News, of Asquitliian lib
eral convictions, considers it fairly
honest and thinks that Stanley Bald
win is entitled to praise for his ad
herence to sound financial princi
ples.
In several comments, however,
considerable regret is expressed that
the chancellor did not reduce the
sugar duty. Some writers also point
out that lie neglected the tea duty,
these two points are among those
against which most of the criticism
is directed.
The Daily Herald, labor's organ,
vehemently attacks it is a rich man’s
budget “all for the rich, nothing
for the poor,**.and announces that
the laborites will submit drastic
amendments. The Chronicle regard
ed as Mr. Lloyd George's mouth
piece, says the liberals consider the
budget will cause profound disap
pointment.
