MOVE FOR VIADUCT
AT CENTRAL CITY PARK
ALDERMAN DAMOUR INTRODUCED MEASURE WHICH, IF ADOPTED,
WILL REQUIRE SOUTHERN RAILWAY AND MACON, DUBLIN AND
8AVANNAH TO CONSTRUCT STEEL VIADUCT AT ENTRANCE TO
CENTRAL CITY PARK WITHIN NEXT 8IX MONTHS—ORDINANCE
NOW IN HANDS OF COMMITTEE.
be to commit the affair to their charge.
Alderman .fonea charged that the
rallrond had been eold and all the In
cal stockholders had been left out in
the cold and he believed the property
waa not serving the ends for which it
had been given. At this statement
City Attorney Wimberly asked to be
heard and he spoke of the condition of
the Macon, Dublin and Bavannah at
preaent. He called attention to the
time when the contract had been
drawn, lie waa at the time attorney
for the road nnd could not draw the
contract. He believed the railroad wan
perfect as far as the corporation waa
concerned and aald with the city It had
now come to the point aa to whether
the railroad had direct nnd competing
lines to Bavannah. He said this was
the point of dispute and was purely a
question of law.
Alderman Chealney wanted to know
whether the attorneys communicated
with by Mr. Happ had stated poattlvely
that the city had a case against tha
railroad. Alderman Massee contended
that the cltv had gotten a competing
line to Bavannah out of the contract
and he said that was all the city had
asked. Alderman Jones was up and
wanted the city to go forward with
the case, lie sa<d the railroad had
gotten all for nothing and the elty
ought.to look out for Ita rights.
Alderman Redmond wanted the city
tn send the report of the special coni*
mlttee to the railroad authorities and
allow them 1R days to reply. His mo
tion to this effect was voted down by
eight membera against four. 1
The motion of Alderman Happ waa
then put and was carried. This pro
vided for direction to the attorneys In
which they ar«* to be Instructed to
communicate with the railroad and
say that the dty Is now ready for a
settlement.
Rules for Next Year.
The special committee on rules for
the coming year made a report at the
meeting and the rules were discussed
This required A great deal of time
and the membera of council engaged
in warm discussion of the new ones.
Alderman McKenna waa a member of
thla committee and fought for the
adoption of every rule.
The rulea regarding time of meet
ing and other matters were practi
cally unchanged for the coming year*
It waa upon the new* rules that the
discussion became spirited. Alderman
Massee wanted a member to be re
quired to have two aeconde before he
could call for the yeas and nays upon
a question, but he lost In an effort to
have this added to the rule*. Another
motion requiring a member to have
Alderman C. b. Lnmour Introduce t
an ordinance at t.»o meeting of the ••tty
council last night which If passed will
require the Bnuthern railway an1 t.i*
Macon, Dublin and Bavannah railroad

City Park. The ordinance has beer
under considera*Y,u some time ini *s
a result of his up. r*elation of Ctitttvtl
City Park Alderman Damour has tak
en the present action.
The ordinance was Introduced in* 1
read last night. It was not discussed.
There was a motion from Aldermtn
M-Henna which referred the proposed
ordinance to ’he committee on ordi
nances and resolutions. It Is to be re
ported upon at n future meeting.
The proponed o:finance Is as t 1-
lows:

d«. 1
on* second 1*efore he could cnll for the
yearn and nays was carried.
Alderman Jones wanted to do away
with the method of seconda to mo
tions. A motion to strike tho require
ment of a second to a motion was lost
and a member making a motion will
need a second before he can be heard.
A member cannot apeak more than
five minutes upon *ny measure and
must not speak but once without per
mission of the body. Aldermnn Jones
opposed this rule and fought It strenu
ously, but it {Hissed by a large vote.
The committee had provided that all
votes In election be taken by bnllot,
but the body would not agree upon
this nnd the new rule was stricken.
Alderman Jones wanted to require
the city attorney to iCJend meetings
of council. He said It was neceqsary
In order to keep pos*ed as to the busi
ness of the city. After,some discus
sion this motion wan lost.
There was a strenuous effort to de
feat tho new rule which provides for
the fining of a member of council who
is absent from a meeting without a
good excuse. The new rule was warm
ly discussed nnd a motion to strike
It proved six In favor of its adoption
and six against Its aloptton. This was
not sufficient to strike It and tho
motion was lost. laitcr nnother mo
tion by Alderman Massee to strike
this rule was again lost.
Alderman Jones In referring to the
rules regarding the heads of depart
ments charged that the police depart
ment was In such condition as to make
It necessary to have the whole body
deal with this department. He said
that the gambling was still In prog
ress In this city and that he knew of
an Instance where 100 young men had
been seen In an open gambling room
In the past few days despite the fact
that the grand Jury has been In ses
sion for rome time, lie avid the ques
tion had been put to one of the officials
ns to whether a gambler could be
caught at the present moment and the
official replied that he knew where at
the moment between five nnd nine
could be captured, hut the official said
he had no Instructions to make the
raid and could do nothing.
The rule* regarding the heads of.
departments were not changed. Af
ter a long discussion of the different
new rules, It was decided to lay them
over until the next meeting for final
adoption. In the meantime they are
to bo typewritten and **ach member
of council la to have n sufficient knowl
edge of them to pass upon the whole
number at the next meeting.
Watchman at Crossings.
Alderman Massee Introduced an or
dinance providing for watchmen at
the different railroad crossing* In the
dty Instead of bars or other guards.
This ordinance, tf adopted, will require
ail railroads to keep watchmen at the
crossings where the danger is great
est In the city. It was read and re
ferred to the ordinance committee last
night and will be further considered
at a future meeting.
There was some considerable dis
cussion of a grade which had been
made in front of Mr. Richard Kind- |
lay's property on College street. He I
had complained to council shout the [
condition In which hts residence had j
been left after the grading had been j
done. The matter was finally left to j
the mayor who is to go out and ascer- I
tain what the agreements were at the
time the grade was made. He will I
report the matter at the next meet- I
Ing of coundL
Alderman Jones was at a loss to |
know what ahould be done with the I
garbage of the city. He still complain- I
ed of the trash in the rear of tht 1
rtsces of business and wanted some
thing done. Alderman Sloan was also
urgent upon this matter. There was
no action, however, it being stated that
special arrangements could be mads
till the end of the present year.
There were reports from the clerk
f the market, the board of health, the
ity sexton, and the finance commit*
ee on bills. The** reports vgs road
