Enactment of the ordinance ‘was by unanimous vote. A committee of dentists attend ed the meeting of council’ to urge passage of the ordinance, but it was not necessary for them to speak, inasmuch as it was prompt ly passed following a reading by the clerk. The ordinance is similar to those adopted by several Georgia cities, with Macon leading, and 20 states. Oregen was the first state to adopt such a law. Its provis jons have been upheld by the United States Supreme court. It “prohibits the practice of dentis try within the city limits of Ath ens, by any person, firm, associa tion, and, or agents of the same without first having obtained a license therefor” from the state board of dental examiners. In ad dition, the law strictly regulates the practice of dentistry in other ways, including a prohibiton of advertising. 3 Text of Caption The caption pof the ordinance follows: “An ordinance of the city of Athens to prohibit the practice of dentistry within the city limits (Continued On Page F;ve) HIGHWAY MONEY 15 RELEASED TOSTATE Controversy Between the State and Federal Gov ernment Finally Ended ATLANTA — (#) — The Geor gia highway board, at last in ac cord with Washington on require ments for release of itg $19,000,- 000 share of work-relief road funds, will submit its first federal pro jects to contractors September 21 in a $2,000,000 letting. Chairman W. K. Wilburn an nounced the highway board’'s con currence on federal stipulations last night in making public a letter from Acting Secretary of Agricul ture Rexford G. Tugwell. The note paved the way for end ing Georgia’'s strained relations with the federal government and releasing the road money. The September 21 letting under the federal program will be the largest in the history of the state. Georgia's share of the federal road money was impounded some time ago when Secretary Wallace announced the State Highway de partment. would have to meet Cer tain specifications including “com petency and efficiency” in its en gieering forceg before further fed eral-aid projects would be approv ed. “State’s Rights” { The highway board and Governor Talmadge charged an attempt was being made to upset “state’s rights” and that the real reason or im pounding the Georgia funds was the state department’s refusal to initiate the Ball's Ferry bridge pro ject which the Federal Roads Bur eau had desired. This project was not mentioned in the letter that brought settlement of he contro versy. Governor Talmadge, just return= ed from a Labor Day speech fur ther criticizing the federal admin istration at Sioux Falls, 8. D., said he was “immensely pleased” with the settlement. Now that the matter has been concluded “satisfactorily for Geor gia and apparently satisfactorily for the Federal Bureau of Public Roads and to Secretary Tugwell,” Talmadge said, the state of Geor gia ‘“is going to see more roads pbuilt than ever before, He added (Contfnued On Page Five) New Superintendent For Sunday School B R S BB S '§é3fifff?s¢:l:'»;’:~ B R R O e S P R & R B R B : PR e R R SN 5 S F R 5 SR 3 s : s s R S [ % :;;'& BAR . we S B R 23 R R . g .

The Associated Press reported from Washington that the Athens grant is one of three Georgia ap ‘plications approved today, and represents 45 percent of the total cost of the waterworks. The city applied for the grant several weeks ago and it was for warded to Washington with the approval of the state PWA offices. ) The Banner-Herald announced two weeks ago that the city offi cials were expecting approval of the application and - that it had atready reached Washington with the state PWA's endorsement. The state PWA has also for | warded to Washington, with its lapproval«. a request by the city of | Athens for aid in a street paving program here costing about SBO,- 000. The waterworks appropriation is an outright grant, the city fur nishing 55 percent of the cost of construction, which is provided for by sale of $75,000 worth of city bonds, authorized some time ago | in an election for that porpose. { The Associated Press dispatch Ifrom Washington to the Banner- IHerald said the $42,750 grant is { for.construction of super-structure for new water filtration plant and ‘pumping station of 3,000,000 gal lons daily capacity with connect ing pipe lines to new water supply and distribution system and river | pumping station.

Many tons of rock were blasted out of the hill side where the plant is being c.n- Structed. * When it is completed the new lwaterworks building will overlook the Oconee river from a hillside in a pine grove. The location of the new plant is regarded as ad; mirable by waterworks engineers. The grant by the federal gov ernment makes it possible for the city to build a plant which will be suitable for future growth of che city and to equip it with machin ery which will give Athens a water system second to none of any city lits size anywhere, it is declared.
