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.

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.

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 pete* ere doubtless wgtchfng the gtaiRiba and you may expect a it ping advance in rates unless alleged defects are promptly •d. * Hopiug that Conacil will immediate steps in the premis es te remedy the defects and «egii> genes on the part of said Company, I am, gentlemen^ very ^respictfully, Ch’n com. Fire-Dep’f , 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 trolmen, L. D. Goodrum, W. T. Moon, W. D.
