CITY COUNCIL MET
LAST NIGHT.
Wiiti Them Regarding Depot.
Plans Were Submitted in Regard to
the Proposed New Depot Which is
to be .Erected .Here.—Agreement
was Satisfactory and Work May
Begin at Once on Both Depots.
(From Tuesday's Daily.)
Vice President and General Man
ager Parrott and Superintendent O.
M. Grady, of the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad, came down yes
terday afternoon and met with the
mayor and council at the city hall
last night.
The object of the meeting was to
go over Jhe ground carefully in re
gard to the new depot which the
road proposes to build here and also
to examine into the concessions
which the officials*of the road ask of
ths city.
The agreement reached is identi
cal with that agreed upon between
the road and the old council, and
which lacked only legislative approv
al in order to make it effective. As
the road is put in a position where
it must make some arrangements
about depot facilities at once, it was
thought probable tha terms could be
reached that would enable the road
to go on with its work at once.
What the road wanted was the an
nulment of the old ordinance which
THE POSTMASTERSHIP.
A Wrong Impression Regarding the
Contest Corrected.
(From Tuesday’s Daily.)
As was stated in The Times two
or three days ago, it is generally
conceded that Major Varnedoe will
be appointed postmaster at Valdosta
to succeed Postmaster T. M. Ray,
who has held the position for about
eight years.
A wrong impression seems to ob
tain, . however, In certain quarters,
regarding the position of Major Var
nedoe and his attitude toward Mr.
Ray* It is understood that he never
thought of the office until he was in
formed of the strong probability of
Mr.'Ray’s failure to secure the po
sition, and he took no active steps
until informed by a high official that
the department had declined to re
appoint Mr. Ray.
Another error seems to be that
Major Varnedoe attributes his suc
cess, if he is successful, to Influences
other than those which alone are re
garded as potent in the state of Geor
gia. Of course, reference Is had to
the endorsement Of the referees
Without their influence the Major
h£s known all along that he could
not secure the position. This in
fluence came tto him only after they
had been Informed by the depart
ment that Mr. Ray could not be ap
pointed.
Major Varnedoe and Postmaster
Ray are life-long friends and there
is no estrangement between them on
account of the contest for postmas
ter.

and in examining into all of the de

tives C. R. Ashley and E. J. Me-
Ree were also presept and made
many valuable suggestions.
It was finally decided to secure the
consent of the property owners in
that section, or along that street, for
the concessions which he road wants*
The council voted for the concession
and the two representatives pledged
themselves to see that the measure
bcomes a law at the next session of
the legislature. On these pledges,
the officials of the road will probably
go on with the work of building the
depot and making many other im
provements which they contemplate
there.
The railroad officials were asked
if they would not assist in paving
Patterson and Toombs streets
from their depot to the At
lantic Coast Line tracks. They
said that the proposition was
new to them and that they would not
like to commit themse*ves so soon,
as the idea was a little unusual. They
stated, however, that they thought
that good paved streets would be

be gla'J to pay their part on paving

The meeting was a very pleasant
one throughout and-both sides seem'
ed to appreciate the candor with
which the matter was discussed by
each.
Business Meeting of Council.
It was after ten o’clock before the
railroad officials left the city hall aud
before the councilmen took up other
matters that were to come before
them.
About the only matter that was
taken up was the election of a su
perintendent at the water works, Mr.
Dana Griffin being elected to succeed
himself in that capacity.
The election of a chief of the fire
department was put off until the
next regular meeting, owing to the
lateness of the hour. It is under
stood that Chief Varnedoe and for
mer fireman Preston Brooks, are
both applicants for the position.
