of Athens wanted parking meters
he wanted them too. If not, he
had no desire to shove the meters
down their throats.
Not Solution
Alexander Bush, addressing the
members of Counecil, said that
parking meters would not stretch
lthe streets and provide more
parking space. He said that in the
present method, with the police
marking the cars every hour,
that the cars had to move. With
the meters, however, a man could
keep his car in the same place
‘as long as he kept putting coins
in the meter. He said that meters
would only take money from the
citizens of Athens which would
not stay in Athens. He further
contended that if it were a mat
ter of a revenue raising measurec
that there were better ways than
meters to do that.
Council approved a motion by
Alderman Denny that the matter
be referred to the Transportation
and Traffic Committee along with
the Street Committee’ and that
they report back to Council on
their findings,
Article three of the petition
asked that “the Mayor and Coun
cil give serious consideration to
| having made an aerial survey of
the city.” City Engineer Beacham
said that he did not know if any
companies were making thege
surveys now and that the cost of
the survey, if made, would be
‘about $l,lOO. He said that such
a survey was needed in the new
plans being formulated for the
city. Council approved this rec
ommendation.
West Elected
The Mayor reported that James
White had resigned as a member
of the bond commission and that
the commission had met and
nominated Judge Henry H. West
as a member of the commission
to replace Mr. White. Upon a re
quest from Alderman R. T. Dot
tery, the election of Mr. West
was made unanimous., |
Alderman Allgn Wier 'presented
a petition from the residents on
Dougherty street that a certain
portion of that street be curbed
and guttered with the same width
as that on Ward and Thomas
streets. This project was approv
ed and given priority over other
works by Council. :
Alderman read a eommu
nication from the City Clerk,
A. G. Smith, saying that in the

lp:;st it had been the custom to
allow bills for water used by
T. M. Philpot and R. H. Maupin
to accumulate for the three sum
mer months because these resi
dents have swimming pools. The
clerk asked for advice on this
matter. Council approved a mo
tion by Alderman Denny that
these be billed monthly.
Alderman Denny asked that
two 300 candlepower lights, now
in the yards of the Georgia depot
'and of no use in- that spot, be
‘moved to Willard street and
Grove street in whatever locality
they were most needed. Council
approved this action.
Street Resurfacing
Alderman Seagraves reported
that at a call meeting of Council,
City Engineer Beacham had been
authorized to have Chase, Broad
and Oconee streets resurfaced.
He asked that the body ratifyl
that authorization. Council rati
fied the authorization.
Reporting on the matter of the
free water users in the city, Al
derman Williams said that the
expense of installing meters in
these residents would involve
a large amount of nfoney. Coun
cilman Bedgood moved that no

meters be installed in these
places due to the expense it
would incur. He further moved
that a meter be installed in the
resident of Edgar Eberhart on
Oak street. This motion was ap
proved.
Alderman Dottery reported that
in his study of the proposal to
extend and pave a portion of
Chase street, called Prince Place,
recommended that the block be
surveyed to establish the original
lines of the street to determine
who was to pay for the paving.
The matter was referred to a
committee to study it and report
back to Council.
Alderman Wier - asked that];
Steve Turnell be granted a beer
and wine license to operate on
College avenue. A petition, how- |
ever, was read from Rev. Hughi
Eberhart, against any immoral
influences in the vicinity of the
church and schools on College‘{
Rev. Eberhart petitioned that
Council revoke any license for
the selling of beer and wine in
that community. Council approv
ed the petition. ‘
The second paragraph of article
one was opposed by some mem
bers of the body. This section of
the petition- reads: “It is further
recommended that the: City
Council, through the proper au
thorities, work out a schedule for
collecting downtown garbage in
order’ to keep the streets free
from garbage cans, and that the
cleaning the streets within -the
fire limits the water hose be
used under parked automobiles.”
Alderman C. S. Denny asked
that the last' sentence, dealing
with the use of the fire hose in
cleaning the streets beneath park
ed cars, be eliminated from the
petition. He said he did not think
that the streets were in such a
condition that the water hose was
needed to clean them. He con
tinued that there was no need to
use unnecessary water and elec
tric power to please a few peo
ple.-
City Engineer Jack Beacham
said that the fire hose would be
a most unsatisfactory method to
clean the streets. He said that
some cities use a street flusher
with special pumps and nozzles
in ‘cleaning the streets. He con
tinued that he disliked the idea
of abandoning the street sweeper
for street flusher. He did not
favor the idea of using the fire
hose to clean the downtown
streets.
E. E. Lahkin informed the
Council that his committee had
no idea of doing away with the
street sweeper. He said that in
talking with Mr. Beacham, he
had been informed that the street
sweeper could not get under the
cars parked in front of the hotels
all night. He said that the theory
of using the fire hose was ad
vanced as a possible method, but
that his committee was willing
to approve of any method that
could be employed to clean the
streets. .
Garbage Problem
In a discussion of the garbage
problem, referred to in the peti
tion, Alderman Bob Seagraves
said that the garbage of the bus
iness district could not all be
collected at one time because
some of the garbage had to be
used in burning the rest of the
garbage. He said that if all the
‘garbage were collected together
it would necessitate buying coal
to burn the garbage.
Davis Questions
Consolidation
Of City Offices
(Continued Nvis page one.)
‘may authorize for school and
other purposes, and' to obviate
court action against such bond
issues that might be instituted be
cause of the Mayor and Council
overstepping their authority in re
gard to the city finance office.
The legal issuance of fi fas is also
involved in this matter.
“1 feel that.it is my duty to
provide the Council with a legal
basis before the consolidation of
these offices is finally consumated
by the election of an officer to
perform the duties, and a formal
opinion by you can becorme a part
of the city record.”
The City Attorney, in his written
opinion, stated: “The Clerk of
Council and Ex-Officio Treasurer,
is combined by Act of the Legis
lature, and must remain so, until
an amendment of the City Charter
is had, authorizing the Mayor and
Council to make a change.
“The Acts of the Legislature,
Acts of 1872, created the officer
of Clerk of Council-Ex-Officio
Treasurer and as above stated the
Mayor and Council has no right
or authority to make any change
in this office except by authority
from the legislature.
Doubts Wisdom
“In my opinion the office of
City Marshal cannot be consoli
dated with the office of City
Clerk-Ex-Officio Treasurer. The
Marshal’s office is very important,
permanent and far reaching in its
operations, covering every phase
of the City’'s finances, the cbllec
tion of taxes, issuing of fi-fas,
selling property, etc., under fore
closures, taking deeds to real
estate, many details herein too
numerous to mention, therefore
making this office extremely im
portant and essential.
“I doubt the good judgment and
wisdom of the Mayor and Council
in. consolidating: i‘fi ‘office with
Clerk of Council, - Ex-Officio-
Treasurer, as a permanent matter
until the City Charter is amended
authorizing the Mayor and Council
to do so. Many controversial mat
ters could arise, thereby causing
us more trouble than we* might
'gain by the consolidation before
an amendment to the Charter
authorizing the same. Our main
thought and purpose is to protect
the City’s finances with as little
jeopardy as possible.
