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.

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 comfortably filled up with Chrlstmus crap shooters, pistol luggers, thieves and law smashers generally, to say nothing of the large number of male factors out on bond.

Both of these are fine works of art done in bronze, the Washington statue being a replica of the plaster figure that stood so many years in statuary 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 nenr-beer which is now $300 on re tailers, instead of $200 as formerly, 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.
