Citizen Fined When He
\
Turns on Water After
L d
City Had Cut It Off
i i, }
When the city of Athens cuts
off a citlzen's water supply for
non-payment: of water bill it
means that the water supply must
remain discontinued until the bill
is paid and a city employe cuts
the watér on agaln.g.
The fact was very well empha
sized in Recorder’s court this week
when a citizen was fined $5 for
turning on the water supply to
his home after the city had cut it
off. In the future, more cases of
this nature will be made by the
city to impress the public that
there is an ordinance against such
practice, it is pointed out.

f lnsurgents-Taker Heart in

BY D. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON — (#) — The
Roosevelt leaders sought to rush
up reinforcements today to prevent
insurgents on a senaté committee
from slashing the $4,880,000,000
work and relief bill beyond reco
gnition, -
Beaten by a hair yesterday in
theim attempt to cut the bill down
to a $2,880,000,000 ‘“dole” measure,
the insurgents of the appropria
tions committee were still in fight
ing mood today. .
Their move yesterday had fail
ed because the committee split
evenly, 10 to 10. With the situa
tion thus deadlocked; the adminis
tration leadership counted heavily
on reinforcements to get its bill out
intact.
Three Democratic members of
the committee, were due back in
the city today before it took a final
vote. Leaders Dbelleved two of

The 100,000 men would not be

other would license whisky sellers

sion by county local option,
At the first meeting of the tem

O 422 MLLYS
WASHINGTON — (# . Gov
ernment economists said today
this country’s farmers are assur
ed of government checks for $422,-
230,000 this year. They estimated
the sum may pass half a billion
dollars.
Under the AAA program which
starteq May 12, 1933, more than 10
million checks for $629,614,037 had
been passed out by this largest of
the new government alphabetical
agencies as this month started.
Secretary Wallace estimated 1935
benefit payments for reductions on
five of the basic commodities as
follows
Wheat $102,000,000,
Corn-Hog $165,000,000.
Cotton $94,230,000.
Sugar $47,000,000.
Peanuts $4,000,000.
The corn-hog total may vary
according to the number of sign
ers. An official estimate on tobac
co benefit payments also is delay
ed for this reason. However, re
duction in acreage removal for this
vear indicates the benefit will be
below the 1934 total of $16,962,271
and a conservative rough estimat
is said to be $10,000,000.
