Chief Batner Files a Communication Through His Attorneys—Roifeulllet in Possession — Chief Jones Re elected Fire Chief. The anxious seats were filled in the council chuinlber last night. Six o’etoek U the reguiar hour for meeting, but when the hour hand pc»ln|cd to 0 there was not a member of council in sight. It was well understood by all present that Chief Butucr was to be removed. The chief himself, was coguizant of it, and sat awaiting the fall of the official axe, wfth a serene countenance. The tip was also Aut aa to his successor, and to those on the inside the announcement of the now chief hi the after proceedings caused no surprise. The crowd, however, ^l illletl all the available space in the ooaioil chamber outside of the rail wag Uneasy. It was expected that there vjiouM be a whole sale slaughter of tie innocents, and who would be called tl fill the vacancies was what a good many wanted to know. Mr. Claud Fites of the firm of Katas & Jones, Chief Burner's attorneys, had sought a oonferenoo wJ(h. the council, and it was whiskered afttnut that somctliiug might hapjien to block tb* prearranged plan of procedure. I At 6:5f> p. m. tho members of council fih‘d into the council chamber and took their aeais after (being in- caucus for 55 minutes. Mayor Price announced that the meet ing was <in adjourned meeting, and its object was to consider certain matters relative to the city government, under the amended charier. He said the city was without heads to 4U police ami lire departments, as the people at the recent election had abolished the commbeions, and all offices that their existence to the commissions. It^ ame noeestti- ry, therefore, for council to act at once, in order to provide for the proper man agement Of these departments. Alderman Pearson caught the eye of the mayor, according to programme, and sent up to the clerk's desk a joint reso lution from tho police and fire commit tees. Clerk Smith announced that he had a communication, which the mayor direct ed him to r°ad fins!. It proved to Ik? from CJhlef Butncr. and is ns follows: “To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Macon—Gentlemen: I see in the city papers, Maud have heard through citizens thatl it is the purpose of some of your Ibojy to declare the office of chief of po|ce-of the city of Macon vacant, and to electjiu incumbent for the «arae. I have . pf(-S serveil with no notice of any charges against me, nor -have I had any opportunity of be ing heard on the question- as to a va cancy in the office or the election of a successor, “I am now filling the office of chief of police of the city of Macon, to which position I was regularly elected or ap pointed by tho proper ‘authority for the term of two years from December, 1895. My term of office, therefore, does not expire regularly until December, 1897, and I claim the right to eonllmie in the office until my term expires, unless I should be sooner removed for cause, af ter due notice and hearing. “My contention is based upon several good and sufficient reasons, only one of which It is sufficient for me to mon ition In this connection-; and that is that no election was regularly called or held, nor was any registration had of voters for an election to raltfy or reject the provision of the act of the general as sembly amending the charter approved Dec. 11, 1896. Said net having become a law only tho day before tho election, and after the books for the registration of voters had closed; and there was no no tice given to voter* that such a ques tion would be passed on in the notice calling said election; nor until after the registration books had closed, if at all. Therefore, my office or portion. Is not affected by such legislation. Trusting yon will give the matter due consider ation, I am. Very truly yours, “T. M". Butner, Chief of Police." The .communication was listened to closely by the member* of coun cil and the audience, t and it was clearly recognized as a well defined hint of lit igation over the legality of the amended charter, as foretold in- previous issues of the Telegraph. After the reading of the communica tion from Chief Butner had been con cluded, on motion of Alderman Pearpon it was received. The joint resolution, which proved to l)e a double, self-acting bouncer, was then read by Clerk Smith. Tho following is the full text, and 1t 1b virtually the legal presentation of the mayor and coun cil, of their side of the case, and upon which their defense will be based in case of litigation: Whereas, There was nn act passed by the legislature of the erate of Georgia, approved Nov. 21, 1893, the same being "An act entitled au act to create a new barter for the city of Macon, to consol idate the actrt relating to the rights and powers of sold corporation and for oth er purpose; and Whereas, Section 29 of said charter provided for the creation of a board of police commissioner*, consisting of three eltlze.ns of the city of Macon, and which also defined their terms of office, pow ers, etc.; and Whereas, flection 30 of said charter prescribed the oath to be taken by each member of enid board before entering uj>on the discharge of his duties as such commissioner; and Where:!*, flection 31 of said charter prescribed the time of the meetings of said l»oard, election of a clerk, etc.; and W-horen*, fleefion 32 of an id charter pr^tihribed that the police force of said city should consist or certain officers and men therein mentioned, the ’term for which said officers ehotild he elected, the manner in -which they should be paid, and also providing for their remov al, ete.; and Whereas, flection 33 of nald charter provided certain duties to be performed by the chief of police, upon notice given ! to bint In writing, etc.; and 1 Whereas, flection 34 of said charter ] provided that the chief of police should | give bond, and also provided a® to the manner such office should be filled in of hi* death, removal ot diF-ability, I ^ Dec. u, iM#b, and aa id teat mentioned vact having failed to provide the manner riii which officers of the police and fre 'departments should be elected, and that /under aald amended act all of the of fices in both of said departments have become and are now hereby declared vacant; and, Whereas, the act of the legislature above referred to and approved Nov. 21, lMW, In reference to the aforementioned sections, having in itself bet n repealed, tho act of the legislature of the state of Georgia, approved Sept. 12, 1881, in reference to the election of officers of the police department of the city of Macon, and all laws and ordinances of the dty of Maoon in reference to the fire department and which were passed prior to the repeal of the sections above referred to, became and are now of full force and effect; and, Whereas, By said act of Dec. 11, 1898, all the power <to elect and appoint nil officers and men of the police force, including its chief and to elect the chief* of the fire department and nil other officers and men thereof, was delegated to the mayor and council of the city of Macon; and, Whereas, It is vital to the good order and government of the city of Macon, and the protection of her citizens and their property, that the police force and fire department of «ald city should at once bo perfected by tho election of officers required -by the charter of the city of Macon for tho police and fire departments of said city. Be It therefore Resolved by the mayor fend council of the city of Mncon, That this oouncil immediately proceed to elect tho following officers for the pqllce and fire departments to serve for the term of two years each from Dec. 17, 1896: First—A chief of police. Second—Chief of the Maoon fire de partment. The resolution wns put on It* pass age and every member of.council voted aye except Alderman Williams. John T. Bolfeulllet was then put In nomination for chief of the police de partment and elected. L. M. Jones was put In nomination for chief of the fire department and elected. Alderman Winshfp offered tho follow ing resolution, which was adopted: Whereas, Hon. John T. Bolfeulllet has been duly elected chief of police of tho city of Macon, therefore be it. Resolved, That tho eaid John T. Bolfeulllet take charge of the police force Of the city of Macon at once, nml that ithe lieutenants and men of the police force report to him for or ders, and nro hereby Instructed to obey all orders given by him. Thus ended the se.mcc, as tho mayor announced that ho would confer with the chiefs before making any nomina tions for other positions, ami that oth er nominations would de reported to council Tuesday night. There will bo a number of vacancies and it is crt*tnin that tho successors of some who have been removed have been decided upon. Members of council have friends to be oared for and there is no civil service act to bar the way. etc.; and Whereas, flection 35 of said charter pro vided for a board of fire oonunlsrionerH to consist of three .members, dosIgn.Ming the names of such members, defining their ellglbllty, term of office, and os to the manner that vacancies shoul 1 be filled; and Whereas flection 36 of said charter provided the oath that such member of said earn mission should take before, en tering upon the discharge of hi* duties ns such, the general duties of the said j commissioners, etc., and • Whereas, Under an net of the Iegisla-| tore of the state of Georgia nppr *ved | Dee. ii t 1S96, said chartop ot the city of Macon wa* nmeml/d m as to strike therefrom all of said/se**?ions 29, go. 31, 32, 33 34, 35 and 36, and repealing under certain conditions each and every o*ie of *:»ld seetio!:**, the manner of su<-l. -r^n*al being that the s.muo should lie submitted to the qua lifted voters of the city of Mft- | con at an *>h- # tion ■so b* held on the 12Mi day of December, 1896: and Whereat, At said election so held on tb- 12th dyy of December, 1896, a major ity of the, quail fled voters of the city of . 1 ^ Tjirort adopted th<^ conditions heimsed >' act. and by rea**! thereof the , -mendraeatk to s*W chart r be«'.un- ..oor- :md effective, and suH **<-tbu \ on WHY THEY AIIE HAPPY. President K, Y. Mallory, Cashier J. J. Cobb and tho Rimo Savings Hank* Just a little over two years ago there was started in this city, without any fuss or blow, an institution which in that brief period has grown Into one of the htrongcat in the city. Its growth hnH been so quiet that few have realized Its full value and meaning. Fortunately tho facts and figures are at hand, and at can be seen. The report of the Dime Savings Bank made at the close of business December 30th, 1895, showed, loans and discounts, $07,772.80; deposit accounts, $42,852.69; surplus, $5,000, and net undivided profit*, $5,211.58. The report of this splendid Institution printed this morn ing show the same items at tho close of business December 30th, JSOlhnH fol lows: Loans and discounts, $109,489.82; deposit account, $76,037.21; surplus, $10,- 000, and net.undivided profits, $8.25-1.92. This)means that the loans and dis counts have increased $41,717.02, tho de posit account $33,084.52, tho surplus $5,000, and the net undivided profits $3,043.34, all during the past year, other words, the Dime Savings during the year Just ended has paid all ex penses and dividends, doubled its sur plus, largely Increased its deposit ac count, and still has nn Increased sum to carry over to profit account. It is to be doubted If any other in stitution In the state can make a bet ter showing. Such a record acldevod during a season of unusual business de pression show* beyond question what, prudence, sagacity and straightforward methods will do. No bank in the state can show a cleaner business. Said President E. Y. Mnllary and Caehler J. J. Cobb yesterday: “The Dime Savings Bank attributes Its pros perity to the fuct that it has been sat isfied to keep within safe and reasona ble bounds and to transact only legiti mate buFlness. Nothing has tempted us beyond this course, and to It is largely due the fact that wc have sus tained no losses, and have been at all times confident and hopeful. With an expense account that is nominal, and largely increased financial facilities, we are In a position to do a safe and pros perous business this year, and will fol low to that end the same conservative lines.” Nothing could add strength to the comparative figures given above, or pt we a higher indorsement of tho able management the Institution has re ceived. Certainly the two statements afford ample guarantee for the future and Invoke the Dime Having* and It* officers a happy and prosperous New Year. The fllinker* Do Their Duty. "If a m.m discover* a valuable medi cine," said Horace Greeley, ”U is his duty to advertise It?’ Yes, and at once; for Buffering demands the ttpeodtest re lief possible. But let the man first be sure, fluttering had better wait than be deluded by falae hois-s. Medicine, like surgery, must often Hwm cruel in order to be really klnff? On this principle, the Blinkers of M. Lebanon, N. Y„ withheld their great Indigestion and dyspepsia remedy from the public for several years.
