COLLEGE STREET USING’ ERR REIT 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.

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. \EtV RURAL ROUTE BEGINS FROM HERE On July 1st, rural route No 7 will be established and the people in the east ern section of the county will be better supplied with mail than ever before.
