Here’s a Case.
Tor six loug, dreary') ears IJ have
been a great suflerer from a com
plaint of my kidneys, which failed
to bc'cured by physician! or adver
tised remedies.
I began to feel I could never se
cure relief, s» I had spent two hun
dred and fifty dollars witout any re
lief.
The disease was so excruciating
that it often prevented me from per
forming my daily duty. I was od-
vised to try the efficacy of B. B. B,
and one single bottle,- costing It,
gsve me more relief than all the
combined treatment I had ever re
ceived.
It, action on the kidneys is limply
wonderful, and any one who needs
a real, speedy and harmless kidney
medicine should not hesitate to give
B. B. B. a trial. One bottle will
convince any one.

PETITIONS.
Of a number ot citizens asking
council to hove the water pipes ex
tended to the north end of Jackson
street Referred to committee oh
fire department to investigate and
report? back to council.
The committee on fire depart
ment made.the.following report in
regard to charges against the water
works company. The report was
recelved atad adopted:
REPORT OF COMMITTER ON FIRE DE
PARTMENT:
Gentlemen: At a special meet
ing of council called to investigate
the charges preferred by Chief
Cohen, of the Athens fire depart
ment, against the Athens city water
works company, the committee
on fire department was appointed
to investigate said charges and re
port at next regular meeting of
council. The committee entered
upon its duties at once, and at
which time the water works com
pany was confronted by witnesses
prepared to prove negligence and
failure to comply with contract on
the part of said company. The
charges were admitted to be true
and the company plead guilty. The
committee would suggest:
I. That the water works com
pany be required to have telephonic
communication with pumping sta
tion at once.
3. The company should have a
competent engineer, who should
stay at the works at all times.
3. The fires should never he al
lowed to go out, under any circum
stances.
4. The Chief Engineer of the fire
department should have a mercury
pressure gunge, so that he could
enow at all times what pressure
was in the mains.
5. The council should provide
some means by which the steamer
of Athens Fire Co. No. 1 could be
promptly put on duty in onoo ot
lire. Its presence at the burning of
Mr. Crane’s dwelling would have
saved a large percentage of the
damage.
6. And most important. Tests
should be made in a systematic
manner, to determine whether the
failure of the company to furnish
the pressure they agree to furnish
i, an inherent defect of the machin
ery, or a local defect in the mains.
When decided, if the machinery
inadequate, the city should at least
stop the rental until remedied. If
work the present month: The total
amohnt expended on streets the
mouth of July i* about $2,$.|o.
About $300 of this amount was ex
pended in building brick sewers and
work of a general character through-
oat the city. The principal work
done in July was macadamizing on>
Clavton street from Lumpkin to'
College avenue and repairing maca
dam on lower Broad. The total
cost pf the macadam on Clayton
street is 13.95, or 57 cent> P er
square yard. This is undoubtedly
the best and cheapest piece of mac-
adam that has been done in the city.
Thu folio wing is a detailed srateraent
of the cost of same:
Estimated cost of macadam on
CUyton. strreet: Hauling, 9475',
Street Commissioner’s salary and
feed for 4 mules, $320; Dynamite,
9345; Smith bills, 97850; Repair,
bills, 949 30; Hutchins’ survey, 9ao;
store accounts, steel, etc., 980.35, la
bor, 9945; total, $2,11395.
A costing of about t,000 yard; of
macadam, six inches thick, was put
in on lower Broad street, in repair-.
ing same. The street fund iz now
exhausted and no further work of a
permanent character can be done
until Council makes some provision
for same. The committee desiies
to say that the money used during
the montWforthe street ac’t has been
expended in permanent improve

By Alderman Gantt—
Resolved, That the Mayor and
Chief Engineer or Assistant Engi
neer of fire department, and such
number of the members of council
as the Mayor may desire, beinstruc

ity with the guarantees of the con
tract between the city and water
works. Adopted.
Alderman McGinty made a ver
bal report on petition of Alderman
Taylor to place a fire plug on Prince
avenue at intersection of Prince
avenue and Franklin street. He
stated that the water works compa
ny would place the plug for the same
charged for other plugs, but nr.ade
no recommendation in the matter.
Alderman Gantt moved that the
plug be put in »* petitioned for.
Adopted.
The question of the disposal of the

found to be due to the mains being
too small in some places, all those
placet should be carefully located
and the difficulty remedied by the
laying of larger or auxiliary mains,
as may be most expedient. It was
publicly asserted two years ago, by
experts, that no machinery could be
made which would do what the
company agrees to do, at certain
places in the city. The mains are
too small, and there are places
where, for that reason, it is impos
sible to fulfill the contract. Surely
it is the part of wisdom and com
mon prudence to correct such de
fects, before some other . citizen’s
property is sacrificed. According
to recent tests, the company en
tirely failed to show the pressure
they are under contract to show.
Inasmuch as the city pays for water
for fire purposes, it would seem to
be all important that -the company
should furnish whst they agree to
furnish, or the people should know
why. While not properly within
the scope of the duties of the com
mittee, we feel it incumbent upon
us to call the attention of council
to the water now furnished by the
water works company to the city
and citizens of Auiens. For more
than 30 days the water furnished
by said company has been impure,
stagnant and unfit for domestic pur
poses. The water works company
guaranteed to furnish pure and
wholesome water, fit for domestic
purposes. This they have failed,
and are now failing to do, and we
suggest that the council take such
steps as will protect the city and
citizens' of Ath.na in this re
spect. The insurance com

, Tha chairman of street committee
made'tbe following'report,.which
was received}
To the Honorable Mayor and
loan them the bell, to be returned at
such time as council saw fit.
On motion of Alderman Gantt,
the matter of disposing of the bell
was referred to committee on fire
department with power to act.
The funds for the street account
being exhausted, and a reduction of
expenses being necessary, the ques
tion of selling three of the city mules,
was, on motion, referred to the
Mayor and street committee,
On motion of Alderman Wood,
the question of providing funds to
meet the bills unprovided for against
street account was referred to finance
committee.
By Alderman Gantt—
. Resolved, That the street com-
missioncr be required to discharge
the duties of a policeman, also to
take a general supervision of the
street work, his salary while dis
charging the duties of t policeman,
to be paid from the police funds.
Adopted
Alderman Gantt then moved that
the police force be reduced to four
patrolmen, chief and lieutenant, and
that council now ballot for the men
to be retained, the reduction to take
effect the 1st day of September next.
Adopted.
Council then proceeded to ballot
for the policemen to be retained,
which ballot resulted as follows:
For lieutenant, E. C. Arnold, pa
