WHAT COUNCIL WILLJWORK ON At Its Regular Meeting Tonight—An nexation and th# Poplar 8tre*t Park Matteri The meeting of the mayor and coun cil tonight will be one of Importance Tha transcript from the records of Bibb superior court a* to the annexa tlon will be received, and an ordinance In conformity therewith will probably be passed,.to be followed by a proc lamation by Mayor Miller announcing the fact that the new territory Ja now a part and parcel of Macon. Another Important matter will be the motion to reconsider the acMoo of the last meeting In reference to tho parka on Poplar street. At the la*t meeting Alderman Mayer gave notice that he would make such a motion, which. If carried will place thepark matter Just where it waa before the (parka were before the report of Uie committee on' public property was adopted. It therefore depends on what the council will do in the event the motion to reconsider Is carried. It la said that a motion to postpone any action until the first of May will be made, and with a prospect of Its being carried. On the other hand it la said that some of the members of council think the matter should b« disposed of new, one way or the other. They say If the grassing of the parks Is left until May, there will be a further postponement and the parks will be grfissed. Then there are some who think the council should say right out that the parks will remain as they are so that the country people will not be frightened off and not come to Ma con. At any rate, it Is likely that some kind of action will be taken. The finance committee have beer* wrestling with the telephone frrvt- chlse ordinance, and It Is said that an agreement between the city and the tolephono people Is near at hand; the difference now being whether th city should Insert In the franchise the max imum prlc*' to ho charged f-<r Me- phoncs. Whether or not the report will bo ready foe tonight la not known. These, It Is understood, are the prin cipal matters to be acted on tonight. GOING AFTER POSSUMS TWO LADIES BADLYJURNED Mrs. Ed.
