SENT THE PETITION
TO THE COMMITTEE
But Aid. Allen Fought Hard
Against It.
Will City Make a Con
tract For Lighting
For One Year.
Just before the City Council closed
its interesting session on Wednesday
night the clerk read the following pe
tition:
January 5, 1910.
To the Mayor and City Council of
Americus, Americus, Ga.:
Gentlemen—As you all no doubt
know, this company is lighting the
streets of Americus without any con
tract at all other than a verbal one
running from month to month.
We have already installed, for dem
onstration purposes, twelve magnetite
arc lamps. These lamps are of the
very highest efficiency and the most
recent type in use. We have on hand
and ready for installation sixty-eight
more of these lamps and are extreme
ly anxious to put them in service at
once, believing as we do that the im
proved service would be of great bene
fit ot your city and highly pleasing to
your citizens.
We would therefore ask that the
street lighting question and the mak
ing of a contract for one year with
this company be taken up by your
honorable body for immediate action,
and assure you that we will do all in
our power to make an agreement with
you which will be mutually satisfac
tory. Respectfully yours.
AMERICUS LIGHT & RAILWAY CO.
The clerk had barely completed the
reading of the signature before Aider
man Allen was on his feet.
“I move that the communication be
tabled,” said he somewhat sharply.
Alderman Bolton quietly remarked
that he really could see no harm in
letting it follow the uual course of
petitions, referring it to the lighting
committee, to which it would natur
ally go. she committee would have
to refer it back to Council for final
action, he said.
Alderman Allen did not take kindly
to such a proposition. He insisted
that the proper way was to table the
petition at once and be through with
it. “This is a very insidious docu
ment,” declared Alderman Allen some
what vehemently. Alderman Allen in
sisted that it was playing with fire to
fool with the petition at all.
-Alderman Bolton again remarked
that be begged to differ with
alderman. If the comrnun-
Tcation was referred to the committee
on lighting the committee would have
to refer it back to Council to take ac
tion. “I cannot see any harm in in
vestigating the proposition,” said he.
Alderman Brown brought the mat
ter to a head by moving the commit
ting of the petition to the committee
on lighting. Alderman Bolton second
ed this.
Alderman Allen continued in oppo
sition. “All of this Council,” he de
clared, “were elected, except Mr.
Brown, on a municipal ownership
platform, and we have no right to
consider a contract with these peo
ple.”
Alderman Allen’s views failed to
prevail, three of the aldermen present
believing that it was clearly within
the province of Council to receive the
petition, consider it in committee, and
then in a regular meeting of Council.
The vote that sent the petition to
the committee on lighting was as fol
lows: Ayes, Aldermen Bolton, Poole
and Brown; nays, Aldermen Allen
and Hawkins. Absent, Alderman Clark.

ENTIRE BATCH BANK NOTES
FOUND IN LOST PACKAGE.
Careful Examination Reveals AIL Se
curites There.
The story told in the Times- Re
corder yesterday of the finding of the
package of notes and securities miss
ing from the Ellaville Bank for a year
and a half, was read with greatest in
terest in Americus, as in the little
town where the discovery of the lost
notes and papers, concealed in the
old court house since August, 1908,
created no little excitement. As stated
yesterday, the notes are now in pos
session of the Bank of Southwestern
Georgia, to which institution they be
longed. Officials of the bank made a
careful examination of the lost notes
yesterday morning and the statement
was given out that, so far as could be
ascertained, all of the long-lost notes
are in the package. About $15,000 of
the lost notes are still unpaid, but
collectable, and the bank will doubt
less proceed to collect the outstand
ing obligations in due time.

Farming Lands in Sum

Fine Prices
Another large farm in the 28th dis
trict, a few miles east of Americus,
was sold yesterday at the round price
of $17,500, this being the second sale
of farm lands in the locality effected
this week. The place thus sold yes
terday consists of 1,442 acres, and is
generally known as the Hicks, or
Westbrook place. The purchaser was
Benjamin J. Conyers of Atlanta, who
bought it at the round price of $17,500.
Mr. Conyers made the purchase as an
investment and it will doubtless prove
a very profitable one, as lands in that
locality are enhancing rapidly in
value. Only two days ago the Hogg
plantation in the same district sold for
the round price of $9,000, an outside
investor taking it. The two sales in
that locality thus total $26,500, and the
lands are by no means high even at
the price.

stated. His throat and mouth were
severely burned by the acid, but the
consequences are not at all serious

TAFT RECOMMENDS
MANY CHANGES.
To Better Control Great
Corporations.
Favors Many Amend
ments to Present In
ter-State Com
merce Act.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Washington, Jan. 7.—President
Taft’s special message, dealing with
the amendment of the interstate com
merce laws, looking;more effec
tive federal supervision of railroads,
and conveying liis recommendations
for passage of the federal corpora
tion act, was transmitted to congress
today and read in the house, the sen
ate not being in session. The message
followed closely the forecasts that
have been made from time to time, and
its suggested legislation as to rail
roads embodies all of the suggestions
the president has made from time vo
time in speeches on the subject.
Among other reforms, President
Taft recommends dissolution of hold
ing corporations: laws preventing the
watering of corporation stock; the
formation of a court of commerce to
insure more complete control of rail
roads; new features for employes’ lia
bility law; federal control of corpora
tions; that railroads be forbid
to control competitors; national
charters for corporations; to foster
the advance and continuance of indus
trial efficiency and to prevent abuses;
granting of federal charters to combi
nations manufacturing and sell
ing in interstate and foreign com
merce; complete reports of federal
corporations to the department of
commerce and labor; give shippers the .
right to select a through route; em
power the commission to investigate'
all rates on its own initial, and to pass
on classification of commodities for
fixing rates; to prohibit the issuance
of capital stock or bonds without pre
vious or simultaneous payment of is
suing company of not less than their
par value or of reasonable market
value. * t
CONDITION OF MR. BIVINS
CRITICAL IN THE EXTREME
Reports received yesterday from Ma
con regarding the condition of Mr, Ar
thur C. Bivins, who has been ill there
with pneumonia for a week, were such
as to cause gravest apprehension
among his friends here. The morning
reports were to the effect that his ill
ness had assumed the gravest form
and life hung as by a thread. A later
report at 6 p. m. was to the effect
that while the crisis had not passed,
his condition had become no worse
during the day. His sister, Mrs. John
A. Cobb, and brother, H. T. Bivins, are
at his bedside.
RETURNS TO AMERICUS TO
LOOK AFTER HIS INTERESTS,
Mr. D. W. Ebaugh of Greenville,
S. C., is in the city, arriving yester
day for a stay of several days here.
Mr. Ebaugh, it will he recalled, recent
ly purchaser the Rylander plantation
near Americus for $50,000, and it is
to look after that splendid property
and the contemplated large investment
there that brings him here again.

~ i much a part, of the city water
* equipment as the pipes or the pumping
I plant. A gas company or an electric
[ lighting company does not force the
users to buy and put in meters, and
he does not believe the city should do
so either.
The matter was brought up again
at the last meeting of the city council
when the mayor called for a report
from the committee on water, to which
had been referred the securing of fig
ures on meters and otherwise the gen
era] investigation of the question.
The committee was not prepared to
report and the mayor urged that the
new committee take the matter up and
push it. He expressed his views in
favor of the city buying the meters
and installing them. As he viewed
it, it would pay the city even to borrow
the money for that purpose if that step
were necessary.
Alderman Allen opposed the mayor’s
views in the matter. Alderman Allen
stated that he was opposed to the
city incurring any such new obliga
tions until the money had been pro
vided for the municipal lighting plant
and that he would object to any such
plan at the present time on that score
if no other.
The mayor held that one way to get
money for a lighting plant, or any
other city purposes, would be to cut
down the expenses of operating the
waterworks, and that inasmuch as the
meter system would do this it was
good public policy to get the meters.
They would soon pay for themselves,
he held, and then the profits from op
erating the waterworks would become
apparent and could be used for a
lighting plant or any other desired
purpose.
Nothing was done save to exchange
views along these lines. It is not im
probable, though, that the new water
committee will take up the matter
and report at an early meeting. Then
there will doubtless be some animated
discussion as to the advisability of the
city buying and installing meters. The
question will probably provoke a very
sharp debate when it does come up.
!BOARD'S ORDER HAS
BEEN COMPLIED WIIH
All Children in Public
Schools Are Vaccinated
All of the school children have been
vaccinated in accordance with the re
cent order of the Board of Education
to Superintendent Miller to see to it
that the rule adopted some years ago
was rigidly enforced.
At first it was thought that there
would he some trouble in enforcing
the order. Some of the older pupils
had not been vaccinated, and among
some few parents there was an incli
nation to resist having their small
children vaccinated on their entrance
into the schools.
All in all there were probably not
over fifty children out of the thousand
or more in the schools who had not
complied with the old rule of the
hoard.
Superintendent Miller at once made
an investigation, obtained the names of
all unvaccinated children, and prompt-,
ly notified their parents that it was a
case of vaccinate or withdraw from
the schools.
This had the desired effect. Physi
cians’ certificates or bodily evidence
, in the shape of scars have been forth
coming and now it is an established
fact that no child is in the schools
who has not taken this precautionary
measure.
From now on there will be no devi
ation from the rule that is universal
in this country.
It will pay yon to buy a Stein-Bloch
Suit or Overcoat, the kind we are sell
ing at half price, even if yon do not
use them until next year. See and

to the city staff
will probably draw
of a police officer, that is.
month, will increase the city’s
Kpense account for the year 1910 by
over $2,000.
In the police department the
changes in salaries do not go into ef
fect until April, so that there will he
but nine month increase there. Ex
actly what will be done with regard
to the chief’s salary, who will proba
bly be relieved of the duties of mar
shal, is not yet known. At present
the chief only receives $75 a month as
the head of the police department, and
$25 additional for performing the mar
shal’s duties. It is intimated that the
salary will be retained at SIOO a
month when t,he offices are made sep
arate.
The increases for the year will he:
as follows:
Lieutenant of police $58.50
Four officers, at $54 216.00
Chief fire department 90.00
Assistant chief 57.00
Five firemen at S6O each 300.00

Sexton negro cemetery 30.00
Street overseer 72.00
City marshal, at $66 monthly.. 792.00
Total increase in pay r 0115.52,045.50
The increase of SIOO in the license
of a near-beer saloon, of which nine
have taken out licenses, provides S9OO
of this increase. The city marshal
too, it is believed, will make his own
salary good by bringing additional
revenues to the city through his vigi
lance. If this proves so, there re
mains but S4OO additional expense to
come from ordinary revenues, a mere
bagatelle.
The action of the council in raising
wages meets with general commenda
tion. Even now the wages paid by
the city are less than those in Albany,
Athens and other cities i nthe same
class as Americus.
