Phone 123 Forsyth Street || NEW COUNCIL IN FOR NEW YEAR Committee Assignments Delayed, But New Member Gets Job The old city council died and the new council was born last night at the last meeting of the city body of the old year. But in the change there is only one new face in coun-I cil, R. L. Allison taking the seat of i Reese H. Horton, whose term had I expired and who was not a candidate I for re-election. Mr. Allison and J. , E. Poole, re-elected, were sworn in i by Judge Littlejohn, of the Superior ! Court, who has for years been offi- ‘ dating at this ceremony; V’ E. Tay- 1 lor, also le-elected, was not present and will take the oath of office at a later date. In retiring Mr. Horton made a graceful speech to his collegues. “I fought, bled and died with you rWB four years,” he said, ad dressing the other members of the body, ‘‘and. it is only business rea sons that cause me to leave you now. I have enjoyed my experience here, and it has been a great source of education to me as well, for I have learned things I never would have known had I not been a member of this body. I regret that I cannot AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. serve on, but my work, which is my livelihood, takes me away from Americus a great deal of the time, and I think you all understand that this is the reason why I have been unable to attend more meetings dur ing the past year. I want to thank the council and the other city offi cials for the many kindnesses and courtesies extended to me white I was a member of this body.” Mayor Sheppard responded briefly to Mr. Horton’s farewell, declaring that it was regretted by the council that officials relations with him must cease, assuring him that it was well understood why he had been unable to be present oftener in recent months and extending him best wishes for the future. Following the administering of the oath to Messrs. Poole and Allison, Mayor Sh’eppard announced that he was unprepared to make committee assignments at this meeting, but did State that, at the earnest request of Aiderman Taylor that he be re lived during the coming year of the chairmanship of the streets commit tee, he would appoint Mr. Allison chairman ad interim of this commit tee, to serve until committee desig nations are announced. He also in structed the old ordinance commit tee to prepare and report at the next meeting, which will be on New Year’s night, a special license ordi nance for the coming year.
