Councilman W. R. Bedgood ! brought up the taxicab regulation i question when he asked for a re | pory from Lamar C. Rucker, city | attorney on what steps council can |and should take to regulate opera tion of the taxicabs to prote¢y the , public. , Mr. Rucker said council can |take either one of two courses, It 'has, authority to reguire that the taxicabs take out public liability !insuranco. or it can requlre. strice spolice supervision of the ta:_(icabs. 'He said if council requires that the taxicabs take out public liability “insurance it will tend to create.a monopoly, pecause many of the persons now operating cabsg can not afford.to pay the cost of in surance protecting the puble, which would: amount to about thirty five cents per day on each cab. J If council does not require the taxicabs to take out liability in-i surance, Mr. Rucker sald, it can impose such police regulations a-l will result in careful iuvestlgationl of the characte, of operators. ana require inspéction of. the antomo-] biles at stateq intervals to prevent operation of cars thay are not lin proper mechanical condltion. Apparently Satisfied The city attorney said that, ap parently, the public is well satis fied with the taxicab service which has been given it, and that a more extensive transportation service is being given now thanp that of the buses operated by the Georgia Power company,. which were sus pended several weeks ago. Bill Brown, a operator of a tax:- cab service, told council that thers are about fifty persons engaged in operating cabs for hire in Ath ens, and that no steps should be taken that would cause an increase ir the present passenger rate, with which the public is satisfied. May or: A, G. Dudley suggested that the question of setting up regulatory measures to control the taxicabs be deferred to another meeting of conecil,. He said that the. taxicabs are operating satisfactorily now. and the public seems to be well ‘ pleased. ~ Counecil, upon a ruling by the city attorney, instructed the city ‘marchal to require that war veter ans who are not as much as fifty per cent disabled must purchase li cense to operate a business in Ath ens. The state law is confusing. Mr. Rucker said, since iy does no? specify just what constitutes dis ability. He said the only fair in terpretation of the law Is to pers mit these. who can show by govern ment certificates that they are fifty pe# cent disabled to operate without a license, while those un der fifty per. cent must pay the license. Two disabled vetrans at the meeting approved .of this in terpretation of the law. Boiler Explodes in Neal (l': Gin; 7 9 ao’ n, : Instantly Ki n ¥ .

Only 27 counties with 64 unit votes are conceded to Mr. Yeomans, and' some of these are conceded only because of lack of complete infor mation regarding them and the inability- through lack of time on the part of Mr. Cobb to visit them. Even by conceding the 26 doubtful eounties to the opposi tion, we have a certain margin of more than two and a half to one in favor of our candidate. We would not be at all surprised to see the margin increase to the extent of his carrying 130 coun ties.” ¢ Mr. Ceobb himself issued a statement saying that he expected to “be attorney general in fact as well as in name.

The total registration in the six white schools was 651 pupils for the first two days, Superinténdent Coiel said, but more are expected every day mnow as work in the fields is being completed. In the one Negro school that is open now in the county, the Training school on the Daniel.sville road, 85 pupils have registered. . Due to the fact that the county schools opened about two weeks earlier than last year, many boys and girls who will go to- school later, could not register at the beginning, because of cotton pick ing. Last year schools in the county opened September 22, with near ly a thousand pupils registering. Superintendent Coile said Satur day that he expects the number by that time this year to be as large, if not larger. Books were changed in the county school system this year, and the new books are proving more satisfactory, both to the pu pils and the teachers, than the ones used last year, Mr. Coie said. J Most of the pupils that have aready registered have received thle books and regular classes are being held daily in all the schools. A banner year is expected in Clarke county schools this year and a much larger enrollment is expected within_the next month, The largest enrollment of any school is at Winterville, where 260 pupils registered and began work Monday. Holly Heights school was the hardest hit by the harvest season, with only 40 en rolling for the first week. At the Joseph M. Hodgson Academy at Whitehall, 106 pupils enroleld and within the next two weeks the number is expected to exceed the 200 mark. Gaines Acodemy registered 100 pupils for the first week and the student body is expected to in crease also within a short time. Seventy-three pupils registered for the first week at Princeton. Hniton-Brown enrolled 72 stu dents for the first week, Mr. Coile said.
