children to provide sucb a park and

Juncts to a progressive city and during
the present year it should be our
pleasure to aid as far as possible in
any movement that will give to this
city a splendid park and several con-
ure of the mayor and council to pro
vide Improvements in every depart
ment of the city government, so that
all have gone forward serving the
people most efficiently.
Tribute to Col. Snefllng.
That which has been done could
not have been accomplished save by'venlently located play grounds,
the most efficient management of the More Conventions Wanted,
city’s finances, and at this point I i n furthering the intetrest of the
wish to pay tribute to the able, pa- clty there „ no morc potMlt mgency

service as a member of council has city hut hundreds of good people who
Just closed. For six years he has j sce for themselves what Athens is and
labored faithfully as an alderman, and what Athens if doing. No better ad.
much of the advance made by the city
during these years is due to his tire
less and efficient service.
A Year of Opportunity.
The year that lies before us pre
sents many rare opportunities for
good work. It is my desire URat the
council embrace these opportunities
and Improve them to the great ad- The purchas^ of school
vantage of Athens.'"So program Will the parents of the chlldre
be adopted that will carry the city be
yond its ability to promptly meet its
obligations: Improvements will neith
er be planned nor urged that will im
pose burdens upon the people: but
Athens will make no retrograde
movement. Every department of the
government will be kept up to the
highest state of efficiency and will go
forward .along advanced lines when
ever the Interests of the city demand
It.
New Tax-Collecting Plan.
A new ordinance as to the collection
of taxes has been passed by the may
or and council, and under Its pro
visions the tax money will be paid by
the tax payers one-third at a time In
stead'of all at one time as under the
old system. This in my Judgment, is
a wise change. It will be much easier
on the people to pay the smaller pay
ments and much better for the city
government to receive its money at
different time* throughout tip year
thereby saving to the city a consider
able sum that necessarily has to be
paid out as interest on overdrafts.
A Pure Water Supply.
The purity of our city water supply
la a subject to which I desire to call
your attention. The constant analysis
of the filtered water, made by the
City Board of Health, shows that the
citizens of 'Athens are furnished as
pure drinking water as can be found
In any city In the entire country. Yet
to guard against any contamination
whatever I would urge the installa
tion of a plant for the hypochlorite
of lime treatment of tfie w*ter as sug
gested by City Engineer Barnett. This
Is a treatment that has been most ef
fectively used by a large number of
cities In all parts of the country with
unvarying success. The few bacteria
that escape the filters are removed by
this treatment and the water made as
near absolute purity as can be. The
extensfon of the Intake pipe above- the
mouth of I.inton’s creek would still
give the city a water that would have
ta be Altered most thoroughly. The and health.
Installation of the hypochlofite plant Mora Granolithic Sidewalks,
would render our present water sup
ply absolutely pure, and even now it
Is a perfectly healthy drinking water.
The cost of installation of such
vertisement can be given a growing,
hustling, progressive city and the mu
nicipal government should co-operate
in every way possible with the Cham
ber of Commerce In securing as many
of these conventions as possible for
this city, and other organisations.
City to Ball School-Books.
books by
the parents of (he children attending
the schools entails a vast expense. If
these books could be furnished at a
price that would represent a consid
erable saving to the people, If would
be well to bring about such a condi
tion. I believe it perfectly feasible
and practical for the city government
to sell these school books for cash to
the patrons of tho schools, and I am
satisfied that a considerable sum of
money could be saved to the people
by this plan. It has been tried else
where with success and I urge its
adoption In this city.
Prohibition Enforced.
The enforcement of the prohibition
law is one of the duties that devolve*
upon the mayor and council. The rec
ords will show to anyone who cares to
Investigate that our police committee
and police department have been ac
tive and determined In ferreting aft
blind tigers. The mayor of Athens
will In the future give his best efforts
to bring about the suppression of Il
legal liquor traffic as he has done In
the past, and the members of the
council will give him their support in
all that he docs. This much I can
assure the people of Athens on out
part. On their part they can aid the
officers Of the law by building up a
sentiment that will lead to the un
covering and the punishment of these
offenders.
Oiling Macadam 8trest*.
During the year a portion of Han
cock avenue was re-surfaced and oil
ed. This has proved to be the solu
tion of the dust problem on macadam
ized streets and In addition has been
of great benefit in preserving the mac
adam by giving it a better binder and
making it less susceptible to damage
by washing rains. IA11 the macadam
ized streets In the city should be re
surfaced and oiled. Tho expenditure
of money for this purpose would
lengthen the service of the macadam
as a pavement, would settle the dust
problem on those thoroughfares and
would be conducive to both comfort
The extension of tho granolithic
sidewalks on a number of streets is
most desirable. They are the best
sidewalks that can be laid and add

give ample attention to streets and
| sidewalks of this character.
Additional Lights.
Fvrrv -c*r n--w de-inru'« *r„. m-ut*
"ion the city lor the extension of the
lighting facilities. A city cannot be
too well lighted and while Athens
one of the best lighted cities on the
continent, additionsil lights should be
provided as far as the finances of the
city will permit.
Sell City Property.
I again urge the sale of all property
owned by tbs city that is not in use
for municipal purposes. This should
be done at once and the money
converted into thp city treasury.
Publication of Proceedings.
1 repeat my former recommendation
as to the publication of the proceed
ings of the mayor and council. The
people of the city are entitled to
knowledge of what their public ser
vants are doing. The news feature of
each meeting of council will be pub
lished in the future as in the past by
the Athens Banner, without cost to
the city, but I recommend that the
city enter Into a contract with some
other newspaper to publish the pro
ceedings of council exclusive
lengthy and formal ordinances, at as
reasonable a rate as can be secured.
Mere School Facilities.
The necessity for more room in the
city schools la apparent. Some of the
school buildings are now crowded far
beyond their capaolty.' The growth of
the city Is so rapid as to call for more
and more room in the schools if we
accommodate the children who apply
for admission. The city of Athens has
never yet allowed its children to be
turned away from school on account
of a lack of school room or school
facilities. It has almst reached that
point, however, and during the pres
ent year it will In all probability be
one of the problems we will have to
face. I commend this question to the
careful deliberation of the council,
Departments Thsnksd.
Without making special notice of
each and every department, I wish
here and now to compliment all for
the efficient work done in the past
and to assure them of the confidence
of the mayor and council that their
records for 1911 will be still better.
Pisa for Civic Pride.
Every citizen should be proud of his
city. Every citizen should strive to
have at least a share in its upbuilding.
The mayor and council are your
servants. They are striving as hard
as they can to be ip the city and to
thereby help tbe citizens. If a citi
zen has a complaint to make, let him
take it to the mayor and council and
not voice it on the street ebrners. We
will endeavor to remedy any defect
that Is pointed out and will be glad
at all times to receive suggestions as
to steps that may be of advantage to
the city.
Officials Public Servants.
The humblest citizen is interested
in good government gnad we are the
servants of tbe humblest citizen. Let
him feel free to conault with us at all
times and wo will give to all be may
have to say the utmost consideration.
Cooperation on the part of the people
will render much more effective any
effort the mayor and council may
make to advance the interest of tbe
city. This cooperation I ask at the
hands of the people of Athens, and am
confident that it will be given.
Help Every Movement.
I shall enter upon no eulogtum on
Athens. Tho city with its magnificent
record is known throughout tbe entire
country. Let It be our chief pleasure
to contribute as fully as possible to ev
ery movement that looks to the ad
vancement of our city, to the improve
ment of her record and to the better
ment of the interests of every citizen
within her gates.

Yesterday morning when the police
detective force wee busy tracking
down tbe money which was stolen
from tbe safe of Mr. Otbo Brown they
found at the home of the Brewer wo
man, wbo was arretted In connection
with the alleged thievery, a red-stock-

for months. "The gun wae stolen some

. Lynchburg, Ya., Jan. 4.—The glgan-
lie task of building a low grade double
track through the rugged hill country'
f-n which this city rests and across the
ravines which surround It baa Just
been completed by the Southern Rail
way Company which announces that
It expects to begin the operation of
passenger and freight service over
tbe new line very soon after the be
ginning of the New Year.
The extent of this Improvement will
be realized when It Is understood that
there has been an entire change of
line for seven miles from Winessp,
north of this city, to Durmid on the
south, tbe moat Important construc
tion features being the following; a
tunnel 1300 feet long under River-
mont, a suburb of Lynchburg; a tun
nel 120 leet tong under Park avenue;
a steel bridge I860 feet long and 130
feet blgh over the James river; steel
viaducts 600' feet long and 115 high
over Harris' creek, 1.000 feet long and
135 feet high over Blackwater creek,
and 500 feet long and 80 feet blgh
over Fishing- creek; a concrete via
duct 700 feet long carrying Fifth
street over the railroad yards In West
Lynchurg; a concrete viaduct. 150
feet long carrying the' Lynchburg wa
ter aupply, a steel viaduct 150 feet
long carrying spur track of the Nor
folk and Western railroad; and a con
crete bridge 80 feed long carrying
Twelfth street:
The completion of this great work
st Lynchburg which baa been under
way four and a half years, the con
tract having been let on April 2, 1906
and the flh|t work done In May of tbat
year, will be of great interest through
out the south as well as In the adja
cent territory (or tbe reason that the
resulting benefits wilinot be confined
io tbe country Immediately eunround-
Ing this city, but every point ob tbe
Bouthern Railway system, south of
Lynchburg, will be given better, fa
cilities for freljbyoad passenger Ser
vice to and from tbe east.
Tbe old line now In use crosses tbe
river at tbe foot of the bills
and passes through a very restricted
section on the east side of the city) -
The bridge over the James la at a
very low level. Consequently every
Southern freight and passenger train
going out of Lynchburg, north or
south bound, has to climb a very
heavy grade.
By the use of the new line which
runs through the western part at the
city a much higher plane, tbe heavy
grades, north and south of Lynchburg,
which are now sucb an obstacle to
through traffic, will be avoided and
trains will pass through the city with
out baving to climb a grade exceeding
40 feet per mile. This great Improve-'
ment In grade and the substitution of
double track for the present single
track will result In better handling
of freight and pataenger traffic over
this section of the line which it sure
to prove of benefit to tbe patrons of
the Southern Railway.
