BOND MAHERS FULLY DISCUSSED FOR COUNTY FAIR At Meeting of Representative Citizens Hall Monday Evening. Everybody for Bonds I That is the way the situation sizes up in Cedartown. There are some things that the con tinued welfare and progress of the city absolutely demand, and the only way we can get them is by a bond is sue. That is the way we built our schools, our water and light system and our sewerage system, and paved Main street—every issue proving a highly profitable investment. And now the enlargement of our city limits calls for more schools, more sewerage, • and more street work. Several months ago petitions were circulated asking for an extension of our corporate limits with the distinct understanding that an adequate bond issue would be made to provide for these necessary improvements. It was then expected that the bonds would have been issued long ago, but there were so many delays on account of the necessary legal steps connected with the extension of limits and de termination of tax matters that this is the earliest possible time to proceed with it. Mayor H. M. Hall called n mass meeting to be held at the City Hall last Monday evening to present the matter to our people, and it was a representative gathering. Dr. Hail and City Attorney E. S. Ault gave in detail the plan agreed upon by the committees of citizens appointed by the Mayor and Council, and which the latter had unanimously approved. This included the terms of aettlement between the city and the Cedartown Cotton & Export Co. by which the city purchases certain •treet, light and sewerage improve ments made by the company in West End. The title to these improve ments is still vested in the company until paid for, in accordance with tho provisions of the legislative act ex tending our limits, and the fact was brought out that if we did not have the bond issue these improvements would have to be paid for from our general tax, which would greatly crip ple our revenues and embarrass the at City E.v'ng Sheep, Pigs,Corn and Wheat Here Oct. 5th. County Fair Unit is nonr at hand, let. 6th, 7th and 8th b and Rockmnrt the place. There is every indication thnt the 1821 Fair will be the best ever held city financially. The settlement a- greod upon was made liy a committee 1 consisting of Messrs. A. W. Stubbs, I ( ’“ unt y Kllir t:mr is "® ar at hand - J. E. Houseal and C. C. Bunn, and is I 0ct - 6th - 7th and 8th bcin * th * tim * pronounced by all in a position know as being absolutely fair to all. The amount of the proposed bond | issue was stated as *163,000, of in Po,k ' and a11 P arts of thc «°»nty which *60,000 is to go for school ' should unite in making it so.

Adamson.) nnd *65,000 for sewerage extensions. East Cedartown and south of Tan- yard branch must be provided with sewerage, nnd street work there is nn absolute necessity. The extension of the city limits compels the build ing of a school in West End. nnd the enlargement of thc East Cedartown school. Thc College street building is badly .overcrowded, nnd something must be done to relieve the conges tion. Hon. W. W. Mundy, chairman of thc City School Board, made an earn est plea for a larger provision for our schools, nnd thc matter was freely discussed. The fact was developed that no fund ean get from this bond issue ns much as is desired, nnd thnt *163,000 is ull thnt can be issued at this time west of Cedartown bring their corn nnd wheat to the Court House on Wednesday, Oct. 6th, and their pigs nnd sheep to the Crnwford lot near the City Hall. They will be taken from there to Rockmart in trucks, nnd will be cared for there Thursday, Fridny and Saturday, the three days during which thc Fnir will be held.

Rhodes has appointed Wardens or the various counties in thc state, is appointee for Polk being Mr. T. H. ihellman, of Cedartown. Thc sclec- ion is an especially good one. Commissioner Rhodes calls attention o the fact that a law was passed in 920 by the Georgia Legislature re- tricting the hunting or killing of cer- ain fur-bearing animals and, through ome oversight, that law was omitted rom the codification of thc state ;ame laws. Skunk, opossum, musk- at, raccoon, red and gray fox, beaver nink and otter may be killed in Geor- ;ia only between Nov. 20 and March COMMUTATION TAX NOTICE.
