rell this morning. He also said
the wires are all being repaired
of new lines may*have to be put
temporarily and a complete set
of new lines may have to be put
up in the next few weeks.
Wires between Athens and El
berton and between here and
Gainesville are the only-onesg even
in fair condition, Men are work
ing between here and Atlanta to
day to try and restore satisfacto
ry service. Mr. Jarrell said he
appreciated the considerate man
ner in which the people of Athens
looked upon the situation. “I re
gret the situation very much and
[ am doing all in my pomto re
store communications to peo
ple of Athens as soon as possi
ble,” Mr. Jarrell said this morn
ing.
While private cars and ecahs
were having their troble, reports
from the two local bus stations
gsaid that bus service had come
almost to a standstill, with the
glassy roads much to slick for safe
travel.
In most instances the buses
ceased to try to make schedules
until conditions improved, and of
ficials said that it would takec
rain to make the roads safe
enough to travel on.
At one station the bus from Au
gusta arrived here an hour late
and was tied up until further no
tice from the Atlanta office, where
mu.ters are in an even worse
shape. The second depot reported
that two buses had left here this
morning, but that none had arriv
ed. This station, however, said
that the bus going south to F‘.lorJ‘
ida was able to make schedule. |
Train service was not tim‘lingl
the difficulty road traffc was ex-‘
periencing, due to the fact the lo
comotives all carry supplies of
sand to supply traction on the
slippery rails. Railway stations
reported service as usual.
Automobiles found going hard
on the slick streets here this
morning, and as a result wrecker
services warned car owners of
several “danger” spots.
. Attempts of numerous motorists
to scale Lumpkin Hill proved to
no avail, while the intersection of
Broad and Lumpkin streets was
branded as a bad spot.
Likewise Barberville Hill, going
from Athens, turned back the at
tempts of many motor vehicles
especially trucks, and wreckers
saw plenty of service at that spot
Although' one or two wrecke:
services reported quiet days, oth
ers said that they were doing ¢
rush business as motorists tried
in vain te conquer icey roadways.
The highway leading out of
Athens to Atlanta was a menace
to many automobiles and buses
this morning. ! Yesterday the
pavement was scraped by county
employees in an attempt to clear
the snow fromn the road so that
transportation would be safe.
Last night and early this morn
ing a slow rain had fallen on the
pavement and formed a surface
of ice. Five automobiles and onc
truck were fforced to stop mear
Mitchell’'s bridge. Several auto
mobiles had skidded over the
sides of the road but no serious
accidents were reported. :
The fire department was callel
to the old Athens Manufacturing
company warehouse at Baldwir
and Mitchell streets this morning
where a sprinkler had broken.

The distribution system of the
water-works department remained
practically thke same with the ex
ception of a main laid on Clover
hurst avenue by the McWhorter
Bstate and one on a portion of
Nicholson street by C. M. Snell
ing. The city installeq short
mains on Pinecrest Drive and
Nicholson street. .
The total expenditures of the
water-works department during the
year were $33,211.58, Water re
ceopts received from Clerk James
C. Barrow amounted to $84,682.60
leaving a profit of $51,371.02 from
water-works.
This is an increase in profits of
38.5 percent of the average prof
its of 1983 and 1934, and has aid
ed materially in financing the
construction of the mnew plant,
Mr. Beacham said in his report.
rilter Plant
During the past year, Mr. '
Beachdm pointed out in his report
Athenians voted a $75,000 bond is
sue to be used in the construc-)
tion of a mew filter plant. Mayori
and council voted to make appli- |
ation to the Public Works Admin- |
istration for a grant of approxi-l
mtaely $45,000. The federal gov
ernment granted $42,759 for the |
purpose of erecting a new water-l
works plant. On October 10, Bur- |
ford, Hall and Smith received thel
contract for installing the filter
equipment and pipe work, whiltl
R. A. Bowen received the con«{
tract to build the super-structure
of the new plant.
To date, $42,008.63 has been
spent by the city, and it is esti
mated that approximately SIO,OOO ;
more will pay the rest of the city’s
part in the project. The total
cost of the new planthwill be $148,-
591.10. !
In commenting on the report |
Mr. Beacham said he helieved
more money had been spent in
Athens for building purposes than
in the past ten years. !
~ “All PWA work, which includes
paving Lumpkin street and huild- |
‘ing the Legion swimming pool, is!
not included in "the report of
puilding permits,” Mr. Beacham |
pointed out. e |
All in all, the waterworks, t
building and street department en- {
joyed a most successful year——one]
during which much worthwhile |
work was done. It'ls only hoped;
by Mr. Beacham and city and|
council that the marg established!
during 19385 can be equalled during |
lthe coming year- ;
1935 is expected to be sufficient to
operate all aepartments of the
state except the judicial depart
ment for at least six weeks. How
ever, there is nothing available for!
the judges of the supreme court, |
court ¢, appeals, or the superiori
court judges all over Georgia, wWho!

Athens Skiiman Is
Kept Idle By Lack
Of Snow Over N.Y.
s L e e
A red-nosed postman, carefully
picking his way over the jsnow
and ice today brought a letter
from Emilio Pucedl, ' Italian ex
change student at the University
of Georgia, who is in Lake Placid,
N. Y., trying for a place on the
United States Olympic ski team,
‘When Mr, Pucel left for Lake
Placid, the Ranner-Herald asked
him to keep it informed as to his
progress in the try-outs,
Hig letter this morning said that
due to the scarcity of snow
which left rocks and stick pro
truding, he had had little skiing
practice hecause lack of snow
makes the already dangerous
spart even more dangerous.
Mr. Pucci concluded his letter
with the statements
“Will do my best to be among
the good ones.
Hail for Georgla, _
Cordially,
EMILIO PUCCL.”
You probably guessed the letter
that went to Mr. Pucei, high up
in the Adirondack mountaina in
New York. !
It contained the suggestion
that perhaps the try-outs had
best be transfered to Athens.
