Trustees Not Suited With Bids Made Famous Cement Gravel Will he Put
on Wiring For Electrc Lights and Down on Part Wayne Street to
institution Will do it. i Show Wonderiul Improvement.
Because the five concerns bidding on
the contract did not make suitable prices
for wiring the big buildings of the
Georgia Sanitarium the trustees of the
institution decided Wednesday at their
meeting to do the work with the regular
force employed. The task of wiring
the buildings is a large one and powei
for lights will be obtained from the new
plant of the Oconee River Mills. The
bids entered were as follows:
Athers Engineering Co., $12,385
Deronda Levy, 12,396
.Brjll Electric Co., 12.3G1
Sou. Electric Co., 14.619
Morris Pretzel, 9,692.
INVESTIGATING BOARD
IS AT THE SANITARIUM
I
In order_Jo encourage the improve
ment of the city streets and show what
a wonderful change can bo made by
using cement gravel, Mr. Fred Eve, of
Augusta, representing the Cement and
Gravel Co., of that city will bring a car
of the material to Millcdgeyille early in
July and put it down on part of one of
the business blocks of the city. This
material is the same as that which was
used in constructing the Savannah auto
mobile course and is also used almost,
exclusively by the ciiv of Augusta tn
constructing streets and by Richmond
county.
The gravel in question eliminates the
dust problem and solves the mud ques
tion. A good surface of the gravel is
all that is needed on the foundation
furnished by the soil here and street
construction will be a comparatively
easy matter with this material.
The investigating board appointed by
Gov. Hoke Smith to examine into the
charges preferred against the manage
ment of the state vonitariuin are in Mil-
ledgeville looking into the matter.
Nothing in the wav of a report will be
rendered to the public before it goes
through the hands of the governor in
Atlanta, but It is quite certain the re
port will exonerate tberaanagement in
every instance.
STREET SPRINKLING
BADLY NEEDED HERE
The excessively dusty days of sum
mer makes it quite a necessity that
something be done in Milledgeville to
prevent so'much dust from floating
through the air and there is nothing
that can be done with so much efficiency
as sprinkling the streets. The city of
Milledgeville furnishes water to all
who will use a hose and the connections
are already made at convenient points
Dust conveys many disease and there
is no doubt expressed but that every
body would be doing the proper thing if
they should get to sprinkling the streets
around their premises.

STATE HAS $250,p
FROM NEAR BEER TAX
Special to The Macon News.
Atlanta, Ga., June 16. —Georgia has
$250,000 in the state treasury that can
not be touched until the Georgia legis
lature meets and decides about it. This
sum was collected fromdhe near beer
tax, and through special provision it
cannot be touched for any purpose other
than for the maintenance and support
of the Georgia penitentiary system. Its
specific use is intended ts buy farms,
farm supplies and maintcnce thereof.
Since the mix-up between the governor
and the prison commissior relative to
the Wimberly property in Twiggs, in
which the governor rejected the com
mission’s selection, the commission has
made no move to secure a farm.
Comptroller General Wright thinks
the money accumulated could be used
to excellent advantage in paying the
school teachers of the state, and he so
suggested in discussing Governor-elect
Brown proposition to issue $690,000 in
bonds to be used this wav. He believe?
the state could catch up with its in
debtedness of about $600,000 to teachers
in a few years if this near beer tax was
applied to this purpose.
