AMERICUS, GEORG
COMPETITION IS KEEN
FOR CITY CONTRACTS
Both Sewerage and Paving
Contracts Eagerly Sought
Many are the bids on the paving
and sewerage contracts which have
been submitted to city council since
the call for bids was made a short
time ago. The competition for these
contracts is very keen, as the spirit
ed rivalry shows.
Another feature of the competition
which is interesting is that the num
ber of bids made for the sewerage
contracts is as great as those offered
for the paving contracts, a fact that
is most gratifying as sewerage con
tracts are not usually as eagerly
j sought as the contracts for paving.
This serves to show that the firms
seeking contracts for the civic im
provements here anxious to obtain
these contracts.
About eight or ten bids have been
made on the sewerage improvements
and about an equal number on the
paving improvements, though this
number may be increased before the
time for the closing of the bids to
morrow night. Representatives - f
each of the competing firms are here
to look after the interests of their res
pective companies. Sealed bids Will
be presented in all cases.
To City Engineer Ansley and his as
sistants is due the greatest credit for
securing so many bidders on the con
tracts in so short a time, as it has
been but little more than two weeks
since the decision was made to close
the bids tomorrow night. By sending
out a large number of circular letters
to the principal firms throughout the
country, a large number of responses
have been received, embracing bids
from makers of all the principal kinds
of paving materials.
It is interesting to note that the
competition among the representatives
of the different kinds of paving mate
rials, vitrified brick, wood block, as
phalt and bitulithic. is pretty uniform.
Each of these different firms is repre
sented by two or three bidders, so that J
the rivalry between the firms repre
senting the differnt kinds of paving
materials is keen.
PLEA 18 MADE FOR 1
DURABLE PAVEMENT
Question of Maintenance is
Emphasized
(Vicksburg Evening Post, June29th.)
In view of the fact that the City
Fathers are to receive, on Monday 1
night, bids for the paving of Grove
and Belmont streets, the quesion of
the material with which these streets '
should be paved is again being agitat
ed. Wherever there is a choice to be
made, you will find that there are va
rious opinions, and especially among
those who are not thoroughly conver
sant with the subject. When this sub
ject was formerly under discussion,
various opinions were obtained, sup
porting this or that material.
I wish to call the attention of the
! City Fathers and also that of the
j property owners to the fact that with
]in the last several years, there has
been organized a body of city officials
called the “Organization of City Of
ficials for IStandardizing Paving Spec
ifications.”
In the report to be found on page
45 of the proceedings for the year
1910, the following recommendations
were made with reference to guaran
tees:
“Ist. That all pavements, any por
tion of which is constructed of mute
rials of a perishable nature, among
which we would include asphalt, bitu
litliie or bituminous mncudgin .and
wood block, or other pavement requir
ing special equipment to lay and
maintain, and also such pavements as
are of a patent or proprietary nature,
new or more or less experimental in
character, shall be required to be
maintained for a period of five (5)
years from the first day of July next
| following completion.
“2nd. That all pavements composed
of materials more durable in charact
er, among which we include
stone block, vitrified brick and well
established Portland cement concrete
pavement, shall be required to be
, maintained for a period of one (1)
year from the first day of July next
following the completion.”
It will thus be seen which are and
which are not, the durable pavements.
I ,The above quotation is an unbiased
report of those who are conversant
with the subject. It. goes without say
ing, that neither the city nor the prop
ery owners are in a posiion to get
anything else than a durable pave
| ment. Neither can afford, say, within
ten twelve years, to pay for an-f

HER BIER WAS MADE
Funeral of Mrs. Allen Fort
Saturday
In the presence of a tearful con
course, the numbers attesting the love j
and esteem in which she was held, the j
final tribute was paid Mrs. Allen Fort
yesterday, when hundreds looked upon
the floral bier where rested one who
was beloved of all. ,
The deeply impressive service was
held at First Baptist Church, and was [
conducted by Rev. Walton Callaway, ’
of Macon, and the pastor, Dr. Lansing
Burrow*.
The handsome casket, covered with
magnificent floral emblems, rested
midst a wilderness of beautiful roses,;
ferns, white carnations and lilies of j
the valley, many exquisite designs
coming from friends in Washington
and other cities.
An organ offertory was rendered j
by Miss Florence Mills as the funeral
party entered, followed with an an
them by the choir. A beautiful pray
er was offered by Rev. T. F. Callaway,
after which Dr. Burrows read touch
ing and appropriate scriptural pas
sages.
Tno solo of Miss James Harris, ‘ I
Shall See Him Face to Face,” was
very effectively rendered.
The tribute paid the deceased by
Rev. Walton Callaway was one of the .
most beautiful ever delivered ’ upon .
like occasion here, and In the vast
assemblage of sorrowing friends there
was scarcely a dry eye when the gift
ed young speaker had finished.
The exercises were concluded at Oak
Grove Cemetery, where the body of
this loved one rests beside that of
him whom she loved so well.
ANOTHER 818 WEEK AT
THE OPERA HOUSE
Coronation of King George in
Moving Pictures
Americus will be among the first
cities in this country to put on mov
ing pictures covering the recent coro
nation of England’s new king and
queen. But Manager Dudley is al
ways enterprising, and Americus pic
ture patrons can all “go to the coro
nation” and without crossing the
ocean.
Only cross Forsyth street, and you
will see it <at the opera house just as
it was in London.
There will be no pictures Monday
night, as the opera house will be used
by Bishop Turner for his address in
behalf of a negro hospital in Ameri
cus, but on every other night this
week there will be plenty doing.
Tuesday night, the pictures and
vaudeville will he unusur, y good.
Billy LaCelles comes in a great act,
one that has worked over 200 weeks
in the South, playing return dates :n
every house. Billy LaCelles is a great
song composer, and has a rfeward of
SIOO for any subject he can’t com
pose a song on in two minutes’ time.
The moving pictures will be up to
the high standard, and toward the lat
ter part of the \\Tek the great cele
bration of King GOooge V. of England
will be brown on the screen.

bany is visiting at the home of Mrs.

RYLANDER SHOE CO.,
Telegrams From MaeoYi, Selma and
Other Points Otter Inducements If
Men Wilt Go There—Three Games
With Dothan Here This Week.
Recognizing merit wherever seen,
j; nd willing to pay the price for the
rare gems in the diamond setting, the
league teams have begun a verit ib:e
onslai gli upon the Americus teem
; with the ind in view of securing, if
j possible, a half dozen of the star
twirlers miking up that very excel
lent iggrei £ tion.
The ( yes. of professional balld >m
have rested upon Americus recei lv,
and the money changers want uir
goods But we have nothing we w.rh
jto spare. ,
The Americus team is doing better
j work than any non-league team in the
: state, and quite as good as that >f
many of the league bunches. In fae.,
| Americus is ready and willing to play
any league ball team in Georgia.
But the other fellows are after our
| swatters, and on yesterday overtures
j were made for four of the best men
j on the Americus team to join league
j teams. Telegrams and letters to this
effect came from Selma. Macon and
I other towns where strengthening of
teams is deemed essential by manage
ment and fans.
So far as could be ascertained last
night, there will be no quitters among
the locals, but the strong attempt
made to get them away evidences the
apperciation put upon the Americas
bunch in other baseball towns.
But we have the goods thus far, and
the hope is that we keep the team in
tact for the season.
This week, Americus has three
games—and good ones they will be —
with Dothan, Ala., which boasts the
best bunch in all Alabama. The Doth
anese are eager to try results with
Americus and are coming for games
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
There will be, then, the' niftiest play
ing of the entire season.
No other dates are scheduled for
the week, but these crackajacks will
serve to keep the fans in a perfect
! brainstorm of delight.
I It is proposed to put Wilder in the
box for tomorrow’s game, with Lee
j to do the twirling Tuesday and Baker
on Wednesday. A rou3.'ng crowd
should see these games, for there will
be none better played anywhere.
Mr. Bussell Here.
Mr. Russell, of The Lauer Co., tail
ors, will display his samples at our

every one interested to inspect the
line and be measured for a fall suit.
We guarantee a fit.
