THREE MORE HOUSES
ON HARROLD AVENUE.
Will Finish a yen' Pretty
Block There.
Development Stops on
Account of Lack of
Sewerage.
THEAM&ICUS-vrfaa.Y T1ME3-RECORDER. THURSDAY. JANUARY 6. 1910.
The improvement of Harrold ave
nue is expected to continue during the
coming year and that -gection of
Americus will probably/^wear a far
different aspect twelve months hence
than it does at the present time.
The erection of the two bungalows,
now occupied by Messrs. Clarence
White and A. N. Walker, was the be
ginning of the movement to improve
thiB handsome piece of property south
of. College avenue. Those two pretty
dwellings have attracted much atten
tion and drawn the eyes of Investors
and home seekers to that district as
•ne of the most promising areas for
development as the city grows In pop
ulation.
Now comes the news that three
more pretty homes are to be built
there at once, making as pretty a block
as can bo found in the city when
they are completed.
On the large lot between the two
dwellings now occupied by Messrn.
White and Walker-two homes will be
feullt. One will be a two-story house,
#f thoroughly modern architecture
and equipment This will be the
home of Mrs. L. P. Gartner, who has
bought at 621-2 foot front lot there
and intends to start work in a few
weeks.
The adjoining dwelling will be built
by Mr. Harrold for rent or for sale.
It will be a bungalow of the most ap
proved design and will give a finish to
the scene that will be very pleasant
to the eye.
These two houses will fill in the
space from College avenue to the resi
dence of Mr. Walker. But another lot
has been sold to the south of tho resi
dence occupied by him, Mr. W. M.
Humber being the purchaser, and
there another house of the bungalow
AWe will be erected as soon as pos
sible. '
In the springtime the city
-/ probably be called upon by the resi
dents on the street to put in curbing
In order that sidewalks may be laid.
When this is done n,nd the block side
walks laid Harrold avenue will have
•ne of the prettiest stretches in the
•Ity.
The city will probably also be peti
tioned to put in a street light at the
corner of Harrold avenue and Furlow
street.
Further dwellings would probably
be erected by home builders In that
district were it not for the fact that
in the area beyond the house . Mr.
Humber is to build It Is not possible to
get sewer connections. In other sec
tions of the city there Is the same
trouble. Evidently If Americus Is to
develop as it should the question of
sewerage must speedily receive atten
tion again. The section that is pro
vided with sewer facilities is pretty
closely built up now and measures
must be taken before long for an ex
tension of the sewor system.

TAXES ARE HIGHER ON

Costs More In State Than
Last Year.
Americus corporations and individ

new state tax act are preparing to dig
a hit deeper this year than last, owing
to the Increased rate assessed upon
certain lines of business. These spec

CITY COURT TO START
SESSION ON MONDAY.
Criminal Cases Are Assign
ed First Trial.
r
Judge Charles R. Crisp of the city
court of Americus formally convened
that tribunal Monday morning, but by
consent the trial of cases will be de
ferred until Monday next, 10th. The
bar will meet on Saturday next, when
cases upon the misdemeanor docket
will be assigned for the first week of
the session. The January term of
this court is usually a busy one, and
the forthcoming session will prove .to
exception to the rule. The Jail

and law smashers generally, to say
nothing of the large number of male

Virginia would withdraw the compan

Both of these are fine works of art

being a replica of the plaster figure

A number of amendments and addt
tions were made in the new general
tax act, among the most Important of
which was the increase In the tax on

ar.d $1,000 on wholesalers, Instead of
$500.
There Is also a tax of $1 each
hall.
After the figures were set up by
workmen and the matter of formal
ceremonies in connection therewith
became an acute question. Senator
Daniel took the subject up with the
relatives of General Lee. It was
agreed by them that the formal ac
ceptance of the statues was of little
concern, and they would be content »o
leave them in the hall without further
ceremony.
This probably will be the program
followed, as congress cannot formally
accept the statue of Washington and
refuse that of Lee.
The resolution of acceptance of the
L«e statue probably would pass the
senate, but the leaders believe that 1
the house it would precipitate endless
discussion and possibly fall If It ever
came to a vote.

Hammond, Ind., Dec. 31.—A trial
divorce was granted here today in the
case of William and Mary Wohole by
Judge V. S. Richter of the Circuit
court. He calls It a “limited divorce, 1

After that period, if the couple de

by the usual way—remarriage. If In

The question presents Itself, If dur

to get a divorce after the flve-yoar
period, would they have to get two
divorces to bo legally separated?
The court's decision was evolved to
