ON PARKS AND
PUB._PROPERTY
Council Committee On Parks And Public
Property Make An Interesting Report
D
of Their Year’s Transactions.
Alderman Brunner, chairman of the
committee on public property, has made
the following report to tho mayor and
council:
Macon, Ga., Dec. 21, 1908.
To tho Hon. Mayor and Council of the
City of Macon.
Gentlemen—Tho committee on public
property und parks submit herewith their
report of the operations of this depart*
meat for the pust twelve months:
Central City Park.
Total appropriation $1,020.00. This In
cludes the keeper’s salary and labor. The
park and grounds have been kept in ex
cellent condition, and fairly within this
appropriation. Wo would recommend
that either tho duties of patk keeper be
enlarged, or tho office of keeper of parks
created, thereby enlurglng his scope of
usefulness, embracing the care of all tho
parks.. This past year the* park keeper,
whose duties hcrctoforo have been con
fined solely to the care of Central City
Park, has very cheerfully looked after
the up-town parks and kept them in
most beautiful order with the assistance
of two helpers, and wo think this idea
should either bo carried out, or tho up
town porks turned over to tho -foreman
of streets, and some industrious man ap
pointed for a nominal salary to look after
Central City Park; our opinion being
that un ordinarily industrious man, with
one inulo and wagon, can keep the park
In perfect order at all times..
Public Buildings.
We carry n total Insurance on all of
the public buildings of $49,150, tho prem
ium being $1,100.50. a Blight- Increase ovci
tho appropriation for this purpose. The
bulk or this Insurance is for a period of
three years, except the building at the
Central City Park, which can only be in
sured for one year. Wo think that an
appropriation of $500.00 will bo amply
sufficient to pay the premiums for the in
coming year. The appropraltlon for re
pairs on public buildings. $1,000.00. We
expended in repairs the sum of $724.47.
Nearly uil of the buildings are sadly In
need of repair. . . •
The contemplated work on the aud!to<
rlum should.be put through at once., as it
is very badly needed. The cost would be
in the neighborhood of $100.
No. 1 engine houso is in very bad
shape. Tho floor of the front porch is
rotten, is leaking badiy tf the rear brick
wall of the building is*cracked and is
settling down, and would recommend
that immediate attention be given to
these needed repairs, and a one-8tory ex
tension on the rear of the building, af
fording more room for tho engine and
heaters, and a proper space for storing
forage and coal, as they have none what
ever for cither of these articles. It Is
estimated it will cost $1,000.00 to mgko
this addition and repairs.
No. 2 engine house is in very bad con
dition with regards to the girders which
support the second floor; ono of them in
particular has only about one-fourth Inch
bearing on its support and is liable to slip
out at any time. Tho roof of this houso
needs some repairs and tho whole ex
terior should bo painted. It will require
an expenditure of about $250.00 to put
this houso in shnpe.
Tho wooden addition to No. 4 engine
house should be removed and replaced by
a brickmnn, somo painting nnd a little
brick work to put this building In condl
lion at an estimated cost of $850/10.
All other buildings owned by tho city
aro in fair condition.
Tho purchasing .agent’s report
shows an expenditure of $9,251.22
Tho appropriation was only 3,020.00
Showing an expenditure In ex
cess of appropriation $6,231.22
Tho following amounts expended were

With these facts and figures It shows
that thin department makes a better
showing than the mcro figures of the
city oleik would indicate, und instead of
the department having seemingly ex
pended three times its appropriation. It
lias in fact remained within the appro
priation, by reason of the authorised ex
penditure of $6,346.12 for improvements
not contemplated at the time of tho ori
ginal appropriation, which deducted'from
the total expenditure of $9,251.22, would
give us a hnlancc of $114.90. not Includ
ing the $1,200.00 in oats nnd hay which
this department turned over to the street
department, nor tho $865.00 collected

THEY WANT TO KNOW
IF GOLD-FISH SLEEP
DRUG CLERKS AT TAYLOR*BAYNE’8
SAY THAT THEY HAVE NEVER
SEEN THE FINNY FELLOW8
WITH THEIR EYE8
CLOSED.
TECH GLEE CLUB AT
Do gold fish sleep?
This is a question that just now is con
siderably worrying Messrs. Alf Mack,
Julian Peacock nnd Jesse Mitchell, the
popular clerks at tho Taylor-Uayne drug
store. They contend that these particu
lar members or the finny tribe never
sleep, even if other fish sometimes do,
but they are anxious to know If tiicy arc
correct in the matter.
There is a largo tank filled with gold
fish nt Taylor-Bayne’s nnd there is quite
a demand for them. Yesterday a pros
pective customer, who had never owned a
gold fish and consequently knew very lit
tle about them, asked Mr. Mack "when
did they sleep." 'He could not answer,
and neither could his confreres. A'
dismissing the mutter at length, they JH
rived at the decision that gold fish, like
Taylor-Bayne’s "never sleep."
Messrs. Mack and Mitchell are on duty
in the day time. They say that they
have never seen a gold fish sleeping, not
even taking a brief nap or dozing. Mr.
Peacock works at night and has plenty
of time to observe tho tank of finny fel
lows. He is equally positive that from
six p. m. to six il m. the fish never
close their eyes. The three drug clerks
are much wrought up over the matter
and have broached it to many of their
friends, co fish dealers, doctors nnd
others. They liavo even consulted the
encyclopedias. And they aro exactly
where they started, not a bit more en
lightened.
It Is stated that perhaps the gold fish
sleep with their eyea open, sines they
are often seen to remain motionless In
the water for two or three minutes at a
time, but never longer than that. Others
declare tliat If the iar or tank Is placed
In a dark room, the fish will rest his
body upon the bottom and sleep the sleep
of the just. But no one can be found
who has ever seen one of them In the
arms of Morpheus.
