Ag Engineer Of
ltaly Visits
Experiment Post
Augusta Alfani, Agricultural
Engineer and Agronomist, of Flor
ence, Italy, visited the Southern
Piedmont Conservation Experi
ment Station at Watkinsville on
Thursday and Friday.
Mr. Alfani was sent to the
United States by the Italian Gov
ernment under the auspices of the
ECA. He is studying the work of
the Soil Conservation Service of
the United States Department of
Agriculture to learn how soil and
water conservation practices are
applied to the land in this coun
try.
At Watkinsville, the conserva
tion research work he observed
included runoff plots and rainfall
gauges for measuring runoff and
erosion from several soil condi
tions, slopes and cropping methods.
Cropping and tillage practices
used to reduce erosion and increase
crop yields were observed in de
tail. Results from the Watkins
ville Station are applicable over a
wide area of the Southeast, B. H.
Hendrickson and his staff pointed
out.
Mr. Alfani stated that although
some of the specific practices seen
here might not suit the conditions
in Italy, the principles in use can
' be applied there.

MAYOR GIVES LIONS CLUB A
REPORT ON CITY ACTIVIFIES
In a review of recent activities
of the Athens City government,
given at the Lions Club yesterday,
Mayor Jack R. Wells outlined a
proposed plan of financing exten
‘f;l) of water service to the com
i..unities beyond the municipal
corporate limits.
The Mayor referred to the city
beautification program carried on
by & group of citizens with the aid
of the city government and cited
the need for a permanent division
of the murnicipality to make the
program permanent. He also ci‘ed
the expansion of activities by the
Parks and Recreation Department,
He said, in part:
“The city administration feels
that all rural line water installa
tions should be profitable.
“They should be self-liquidating
and make some money for the city.
“We have worked out a plan
whereby the city can be assured of
this being a reality before any
money will be spent outside the
city.
“A brief outline of the plan is
as follows: In any area of thickly
settled rural people, they can fi
nance this installation by borrow
ing the money from the bank to
pay for the installation of the wa
ter main with the understanding
the city will reimburse them for
the cost of the installation when
the revenue received from the line
by the city amounts to 8 percent
on investment.
“To insure the repayment to the
parties borrowing the money for
this installation, the city would
set up in escrow in the bank an
equal sum of all borrowed money
with a contract between the bank
and the city that it is to be paid
to the ones advancing the money
if the line proves profitable. We
propose to increase the water
rates outside the city limits, mak
ing them 100 percent meocre than
the city rates in lieu of the pres
ent 50 percent.
“This will insure sufficient rev
enue to make these lines self-li
quidating, and will not be any
more expensive to our rural
friends than what they are now
having to pay to maintain their
own private systems.
~_ “It has also been thought by
your administration that possibly
legislation should be passed
whereby the county could partic
ipate in the installation of water
mains and a fire department, so
as to provide fire protection for
‘the rural areas in the county.
Joint Maintenance
} “It is the administration’s be
ilief that this service can be ren
dered more efficiently to all con
cerned by the county joining in
with the city in rendering these
two services, in lieu of the county
endeavoring to undertake to fur
nish them as an individual unit.
“Included in the $600,000.00
certificate issue will be sanitary
sewers for all the thickly popu

“This program necessitated the
construction of a trunk line sewer
up the east side of the Oconee
River which has been practically
completed, and as soon as time
permits, will allow the completion
of the trunk line sewer which will
ultirately serve the new high
school area, together with the
colored section directly west of the
new high school site,
. “The long needed and much
talked -about fire station in the
Five Points section is nearing
completion.
“This station is being erected on
South Lumpkin stieet beyond Five
Points and will serve this thickly
populated section of town.
“The station was erected by the
Mathis Construction Company for
the sum of $25,675.00.
“It will be fully eguipped by
next year. It will be operated,
however, as soon as the alarm sys
tem has been comipleted.
“The Police Department moved
into new quarters on the ground
floor of the City Hall last year. I
belicve Chief Roberts will agree
with me when I say we have the
finest quarters of any city in
Georgia our size for the Police
Department.
“‘ personally feel that we have
the“best operated Police Depart
ment in the State under the cap
able leadership of Chief Roberts
and the fine work done by the de
partment in solving criminal cases
has been recognized many times
by the Federal Bureau of Investi
gation.
“Four new motorcycles, equip
ped with radio, will be delivered
in a few days and will further add
to the efficiency of the department,
; The Health Center
“The grading is practically com
plete for the new high school
building, which is to be located off
Milledge avenue between Baxter,
Waddell and Rockspring streets.
Competitive bids were taken on
this grading and the contract was
awarded to the low bidder.
“Bids will be taken for the erec
tion of the new school as soon as
plans and bid forms are in proper
order.
“A Health Center is going to be
constructed at the corner of Hill
and Pope streets under the Hili-
Burton Act.
“The estimated cost of this
structure will be $146,000 or which
the Federal Government will pay
$88,000; the State $29,000; leaving
$29,000 to be shared equally by
the City and County.
“Preliminary plans have already
been approved for the building,
and final plans have been submit
ted. As soon as these plans are ap
proved, bids will be asked for and
work on the structure commenced.
“A much needed swimming pool
for our colored citizens has been
completed and placed in operation.
“This pool was constructed for
PAGE THREE
the sum of around $26,000 and is
modern in every detail.
“It was possible to build such a
structure for this small amount of
money by utilizing a sedimentation
basin which was abandoned by the
water works in 1936.
“This pool is located between
the Oconee River and the South
ern Railroad on the water works
property and made directly acces
sible by extending Athens avenue
\ to the new recreation area.
“It is aimed that this area will
lultimately be developed for a col
ored park as well as the swimming
| pool.
| “We believe that by giving our
| colored citizens a larger share of
l public benefits that they will be
| come better citizens, more produc~
tive citizens and more useful citi«
lzens.
| “We have in Athens a high type
'of colored citizenry and as they
{share in the public services they
| are showing an increasing disposi
ition to assume their share of the
| cost of furnishing these services to
| them.
i “And they are learning that as
| they share these benefits their re
isponsibilities as citizens increase,
iAnd, of course, as they become
better citizens our community as
' a whole benefits.
| “As your Mayor 1 appreciate
| the cooperation of the citizens that
"is being given to our councilmen,
city employes and members of the
} various municipal boards. I know
they appreciate it, too. If we con
tinue to work together in behalf of
our community we should con
tinue to grow and develop into one
of the best communities in the en
tire world.”
