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.

" Without a. national guardsman bayonet in gight the affairs of the state of Georgia went along as usual today. After reaching his office in the capitol Governor Talmadge passea cigars to his visitors and appeared unworried as he faced the problem of operating the state without an appropriation bill.
