ND POWER PLANT WITH MB Destructor Company Agrees on Contract With Electricity Clause Eliminated. * Mayor Winn and the finance commit tee of the council and representatives of the New York Destructor Company have agreed upon the terms of the con tract for a garbage disposal plant, but all chance of an electric power plant in conjunction with it had gone glimmer ing. As some of the councilmen only voted to accept the company's bid for a cre matory plant because it also provided for an electric power plant, strong op position to the agreement is certain to develop in the council. If we can’t have an electric plant, why should we pay $276,000 for a gar bage disposal plant'.”' t'ouncilmen Charles W. Smith, Orville H. Hall, Ai dermen John E. McClelland and A. J. Johnson and others have declared. "We should build a cheaper garbage plant." Company to give 5376.G00 Bond. The agreement was reached last night, and, if it is approved by th? council Monday, the Destructor Com pany will sign up and begin work. The company will give a bond for $376.- 000, covering the bid for an electric power plant to be operated by the he,at from the burning garbage. If the city has the money to pay for this $102,000 electric plant or can finance the deal, the company's bond provides that it shall be built any time within the three years. But the Destructor Company was un able to finance the $376,000 proposition, and its representatives failed to get it underwritten so long as It included the electric power plant feature. The city is able to pay only $50,000 cash. The agreement to be recommended to the council is tha’ the company shall retain the title to the plant until it is paid for, and that the city shall have charge of its operation under the su pervision of the company. Demands Title to Property. The company demanded the title to the property, rejecting the city’s moral obligation for the deferred payments, which it agreed to accept when the contract was awarded by council more than a month ago. But the company refused to sign the contract after it had been awarded by the council. The other officials voting for the proposition were Aidermen Spratling. Nutting, Ragsdale and Warren and ('•luncilmen Greer and Knight. Mayor Winn declared that this city cry of the people for better streets would be as a gentle zephyr compared the complaints that would develop if some system of garbage disposal were not adopted.

GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY == Its Aims and Standards - The aim of the college is to make men. Not everv college succeeds, .judging them strictly by their output. A college graduate should be useful. He should, of course, be self-sustaining and in fluential in his community; in fact, PROGRES SIVE. If the college man does not make good, it is partly his own fault, \ ERY OFI EN IHA I OF THE INSTITUTION THAT GRADUATED HIM. (]i It is a well known fact that Ter-b graduates succeed. There are one or two good reasons for this. The instruction at 'l’ech is very thorough. It is said bv those who know that a student can t slip through ’l ech and get a diploma. He must be thor ough. HK MUST KNOW WHAT TIE KNOWS. Then. too. the course of study at Tech is exceed ingly practical. 'There a man’s hand is trained along with his brain. From the handling of pig iron in the foundry on up to the delicate work of the laboratory, the Tech man must daily apply his theories. He must learn to do things. Only this kind of education counts nowadays. €[] ‘''There is no reason." said a leading teacher of the state recently, “why every Georgia boy who wishes a technical training should not get to Geor gia Tech, since each county is entitled to fifteen free scholarships. In addition to these, there are sev eral scholarships which carry a cash consideration of from $125.00 to $200.00 annually, open to young men of merit and ability."
