2 GATE CITY’S WATERWORKS. MOSEY FOR IMPROVING CROINDS BIT NOSE FOR VALfKS. Nearly 115,000 Spent In Itnlldinjx n Summer Hoiino mill Planting Flow era, bat the Water Board Ha* Not Knnnull Money to Make the Neee*- irnry Repair*—Member* of the Board Who Did Not Approve Till* Expenditure. Atlanta. Aug. 9.—Additional interest has oeen aroused in the waterworks situation by the announcement that $4.W> has been fepent for beautifying the pumping sta tion grounds without authority of the water board, while the crying need for new valves could not be supplied on ac count of a lack of funds. Since the expense was incurred by Supt. Park Woodward it has received formal approval from a majority of the members, but two of them—Judge George Hillyer and Commissioner Litt Bloodworth —were not at The meeting when tlie sanction was given. They have endeavored to se cure a reconsideration, but have failed. The item over which a division has arisen in the board amounts to $4,966 for “building and grounds repairs.*’ A sum mer house was erected, terraces laid off and flowers planted. Mr. Bloodworth, in speaking of the af fair to-day, said: “I cannot approve expenditures of the ci'ty’s money for beautifying grounds w'hen there is such a scarcity of funds for our broken machinery. I don't really know how much of this $4,966 was spent for this work, hut I am sure nearly all Of it was. There have been some slight permanent repairs to the buildings out there, but as a matter of fact the sta tion shows little repairs outside of the summer house on the knoll, the terraces and the flowers. “I tried to get an itemized statement from the waterworks office of the expendi ture. but I was told by one of the offi cials that the accounts are kept in such a manner that the various items cannot be ascertained. “Now. I am sure Col. Woodw'ard had the approval of the majority of the board members before he spent the money, but that does not constitute au4hori?y. T think it is due members who object to such expenditures that they be given a chance to record their votes against it. “As long ns I am a member of the loard I will not approve such expenditures un der the circumstances. I will quit the board first.” RFAI I.TS IX TENMS GAMES. Final* to Be Played To-day Will End the Tournament. Atlanta.
