successful. | ED
Need Action Now
At this point Mayor McWhor
ter reminded members of Coun
cil that it would be some time
before either the parking meter
system or parking lot could be
employed to solve the problem,
and that in the meantime some
action is immediately needed to
keep the streets clear in order to
clean them up and keep them
neat.
Frank Betts, a member of the
Civil Service Commission, present
at the meeting with another
meémber, Reese Carnes, arose to
say that the Police Department
will do all it can to eliminate
double parking and said that
Chief Wood would be ordered to
start docketing cases in Recor
der’s Court against any driver
who double parks in the fire lim
its and leaves the car without
someone in it who can move the
wvehicle in order to allow an
other car to pull away from its
parking place at the curb. Messrs.
Betts and Carnes agreed that the
public should be given ample
notice that the cases will be dock
eted in the future and ordered
Chief Wood to instruct his men to
start making cases next Monday
morning. Chief Wood announced
his men will comply with the or
der of the Commissioners.

up the City streets and beautify
ing Athens.
Mr. Denny also said:
“Enforce the present ordinance,
relative to placing waste materials
and waste liquids in the city catch
basins. This would require each!
store that scours its floors to have |
a slop sink to pour its dirty water
into instead of pouring it on the
city streets.
“Enforce the present ordinance,
relative to merchants giving curb
service.
“Prohibit the storing of empty
soft drink bottles, milk bottles and
ice cream containers on the city
streets.
“Prohibit the use of paper cups
and require each soda fountain
and eating place to have adequate
facilities to clean their glasses to
the complete satisfaction of the
Health Department.
“That the city purchase new
garbage cans for the business sec
tion as soon as they are available,
and that the city consider the use
of wire baskets placed at suitable
intervals for the use of consumers

Tear Down Tower
Councilman Denny also recom-'
mended that the waterr tower on
the City Hall lot be “torn down‘
and a larger one be constructed‘
elsewhere.” He called attention to
the “old paved streets in the city,
particularly in the mercantile sec
tion” and recommended that
Council give attention to their re
surfacing.
He called attention to the “fact
that local ordinances, relative to
the handling of meat for our citi
zens require all animals to be
killed and inspected at the Athens
Butchers’ Abattoir, notwithstand
ing the fact that the man on the‘
streets thinks it is the property
of the City.” He recommended |
that the City or the City and
County own and operate an abat-l
toir, for the purpose of slaughter
ing animals, saying, “I think that
our people could be better served”
in that way.
Councilman Denny also recom
mended that “all cars be required
to vacate all of the streets inside
of the fire limits after 2 a. m. Mr.
Hall, the operator of the motor
sweeper has repeatedly counted
the cars down town after 2 a. m.
and it is found that one-third of

the parking space in the business
section is taken up by all<night
parking.” Street Superintendent J.
G. Beacham. has supervision
over the Sanitary Department with
Eugent Lumpkin.
l A. G. Smith, clerk of Mayor
'and Council, said today that the
“scavanger ordinance” to which
Councilman Denny referred is not
availzble on short notice, that he
' would have to go back over min
utes of Council to get it. Clerk
'Smith cited other similar ordi
'nances, which Councilman Denny
- mentioned should be enforced. The
ilClerk said they are police ordi
jnances, enforceable by the police.
Q Delinquent Taxes
As to the collection of delin
quent taxes, Clerk Smtih said, that
jis the duty of the City Marshal’s
office and said that employes ap
[ pointed or elected for that purpose
are answerable to the City Mar
shal. He said Dick Burch is the
eollector. Mr. Smith, who is also
City Marshal, said that the books
show about $50,000 in delinquent
taxes. Councilman Denny said if
back taxes are collected it “should
bring into the City approximately
$30,000.” Councilman Denny also
said that extension of the city
water meters and sanitary sewers
would bring in approximately
$20,000 and SIO,OOO respectively.
’ As to garbage collection, Coun
cilman Denny said that citizens
should be required to put their
garbage cans on the curb on the
days they are scheduled to receive
service and take them back after
they are emptied. He said this
method is practiced by Rome, Co
lumbus and Americus, and if the
present method is continued that
“wherever possible the necessary
steps be taken to open the alleys
that are in the rear of the prop
erty.”

mittee has done anyfaing specificl
and the latter explained that the
committee has held several meet
ings discussing how the city streets
can be cleaned up ana kept clean,
the matter of parking lot and the
canstruction of roadside parks on
the higaways leading into Athens.
L. M. Shadgett told council that
the project to secure a master
plan for improvement is a reces
sary step, saying that unless such
‘action is taken it will be impos
sible to secure funds from various
federal or state agencies jn help
ing carry out tae improvements.
| Mr. Seagraves asked Mr. Williams
as to iust who would furnish an
engineer to draw up such a plan
and Mr. Williams replied that the
Agricultural and Industrial Board
would, as it had done in other
communities. i
The discussion terminated with
council and the two commissioners
present agreeing to send a_ joint
request, al .?‘M
Mr. Seagraves suggested, -
ing the discussion that a central
committee of reliable citizens,
lluch as Blanton Fortson or A. G.
| Dudley, be appointed to study the
matter and report to Council on
{ the conditions in the city and
recommend steps needed for im
. provements.
o 4 believe . the citizens have
* waked up to the fact that they
want to do something for Ath
ens. Now is the time to do some
thing if we ever intend to,” Mr.
Seagraves said.
Alderman Thomas Elder ex
pressed the opinion that “we are
getting away from our objective.”
He said that the purpose of the
meeting was to discuss the future
of Athens and said that “it looks
like we’ve been misunderstood by
the public as far as these meet
ings we have been having are
concerned. You've got to plan for
the future and the Mayor’s idea
is to get an overall plan with!
which to work,” he said. i
“If we.can work out some
plans, it is possible we can se-:
cure government aid. I endorse‘
the Mayor’s plan as set up in the;
paper recently,” he said. 1

these and other city streets have
been in use for forty years and
said Mr. Beacham can now secure
the necessary materials® for re
surfacing. Mr. Beacham also re
quested the work be allowed, say
ing it would cost about $3,000.
Mr. Seagraves said if the portions
of the two streets were re-surfaced
citizens could see the advantages
of such type of street improve
ment,
It was also brought out that the
State Highway Department plans
shortly to re-surface Prince Ave
nue, as a part of the state’s high
