SITUATION 1S GRAVE, SAY COMPANIES
Insurance People Are Making Inquiries About Water
Supply for Fire Purposes. Representative of the
Water Company Is Daily Expected in City.
While no action has yet been taken
by the fire insurance companies rep
resented in Dawson in the matter of
an increase in rates consequent to the
order from the city council to the fire
department not to use the public wa
ter supply in case of fire, it is certain
that a decided raise will come unless
the order of the council is soon re
voked or an agreement with the water
works company is effected whereby
the city will have the use of the water
in case of fire.
Messrs. Parks & Bell, representing
the Southeastern Tariff Association in
Dawson, have been asked by a num
ber of insurance compauies to furnish
a full statement of the facts with ref
erence to the present lack of water
supply, which the association pro
nounces a grave situation for both
citizens and companies. This firm
has forwarded a complete statement of
existing conditions, and it is very
likely, unless these are ameliorated
within the next few days, fire insur
ance in Dawson will be a rather costly
proposition.
Tt is believed, however, that an
agreement will shortly be entered into

Keep the bowels regular with Ayer’s

Your Friends, I Yavis~L)avidaoi Lo,
by the city and water company for the
use of the waterworks for fire protec
tion. A representative of the company
was expected to come to Dawson last
week, but he failed to do so, and the
company has advised Mayor Mercer
that an agent will be in the city this
week to look into the matter and dis=
cuss a proposition for a temporary
water supply. He is expected to ar
rive in the city today or tomorrow.
The action which has resulted in the
present condition of affairs was deem
ed necessary by the council in view of
the recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States, which held
the waterworks contract between the
city and the waterworks company to
be illegal, and the officials, in the light
of this verdict and, with a view of
avoiding further complications of any
kind, believed it their duty to issuethe
order to the fire department to discon
tinue the use of the waterworks. .
The old cisterns, dug many years
ago, have been filled with water, and
it is upon this supply that Dawson is
temporarily depending in case of fire.
A satisfactory adjustment of the
matter would be welcomed hy the citi
zens and insurance companies alike.

Only twe members of the board of
county commissioners were re-elected
by the grand jury Monday morning,
they being Hon. S. R. Christie and
Dr. H. A. Cook. Failure to re-elect
Messrs. C. M. Harris and J. I. Rob
erts came to the public as a big sur
prise. They are succeedeC by Messrs.
W. J. Bowen and W. H. Dismuke.
Commissioner W. 1. Pace announced
some time ago that he would retire
from the board at the end of his term,
and Mr. S. W. Denton was elected to
succeed him. /
The only announced and open con
test was between Commissioner S. R.
Christie, the chairman of the board,
and Mr. J. Mercer Bell, one of the
most prominent and popular young
men of the city, and it was in this
fight that all interest was centered.
No one doubted the re-election of
those members of the board who had
not expressed an intention to retire,
and the grand jury’s action therefore
came as an unexpected announcement
and caused much surprise.
Commissioner Christie has for years
been chairman of the county*board,
and his re-election is a tribute to the
long and able service he has rendered
in that capacity. The re-election of
Commissioner Cook will be received
with general satisfaction. He is pop
ular both as a citizen and official.
Mr. Bowen is a resident of Sasser,
aud is one of the county’s most prom
inent farmers and citizens. He will
make a popular and active commis
sioner. Mr. Dismuke is prasident of
the Graves Trading Company, and
besides his jmercantile interests is a
large farmer. He will discharge the
duties of his position with fidelity and
ability. Mr. Denton is a leading eciti
zen of Bronwood, and is held in high
esteem by all whoe know him. He will
muke an #ble and faithful official, and!
