ANNUAL Iffl FESTIWL
Beautiful Spectacle Staged Today
at Grammar School by Stu
dents and Faculty
\ beautiful sight was the annual ,
spring festival which was given this j
morning at 9:30 o’clock at Furlow
school, in which the students of the i
grammar school participated. The !
stage was arranged on th'' campus ■
and also seats for the hudreds of
guests that were present.
The little girls were lovely in their |
costumes representing all the spring •
flowers, butterflies and fairies.
In the opening scene ‘‘Winter” en- '
tens and all the flowers dropped their
heads; then comes “Death,” waving
a scythe, and all the flowers are
lulled to sleep, ibut with the com
ing of “Spring” all the flowers are
awakened.
The musical theme was unusually
effective, exemplifying the work
done by the students from the pre
scribed song studies used through
out the year. The pageant was di
rected by Mrs. Walter T. Maynard,
director of music here for the past
five years, who has trained the stu
dents in all lines of music.
With flowers grouped on the
’stage, the following program: was
rendered.

DEMEO Os CITI
Project Underwritten by Civic
Club Subject of Discussion
Before Council
At Wednesday night’s session of
city council City Attorney Lane no-,
titled the members of notice of an
intention to bring suit for $182.20
against the City of Americus by the
Union Metal Manufacturing compa
ny, of Canton, Ohio, the amount be
ing claimed as payment for orna
mental posts placed at the intersec
tion of Lamar and Lee streets. Dis
cussion of the announcement de
veloped that the posts were pur
chased by W. D. Tiedeman, then
city engineer, and that the project
i was underwritten by one of the civic
clubs of ? mericus. That the club
had never been notified of any de
linquency in payment Was ,ial£o
brought out.
In presenting the matter to coun
cil, City Attorney Lane gave as his
opinion that inasmuch as the posts
had been ordered by Mr. Tiedeman
without authority of council, the
suit could be successfully defended
by the city, the only question in
volved being whether or not coun
cil was willing to assume the debt,
the posts being erected upon the
city strets here and adding to the
beauty of the city. Aiderman Witt
said he could not recommend pay
ment of the bill under such circum
stances, and there was much discus
sion of the matter.
Alderman Mize asserted the city
. either should pay for the posts or
return them to the company from
■ which they were purchased, and this
brought out the assertion that the
purchase had been underwritten by
■ an Americus civic club, as well as
certain other features involving
: promises of payment tnade by own
’ ers of abutting property under spe
cified conditions at the time the
> posts were erected. At least a part
of these pledges remain unpaid, it
was said by Alderman Witt,' accord
ing to his best information.
Finally Aiderman Allison moved
that the debt be assumed by the city
and an aye and nay vote was called
for. Aidermen Allison, Harris and
Mize voted to pay the bill, and Al
dermen Witt and Carswell and May
or Poole opposed the motion. The
vote resulting in a tie, it was then
agreed to let the matter go over until
next meeting, when it is hoped Al
derman W .E. Mitchell will be pres
ent and vote upon the proposal.
