After many speeches, no little heated
argument and thirty-nix ballots, W. Z.
Smith, who for twelve yearn ha* been
connected with the city waterworks de
partment In different capacities, was
elected secretary of the department, to
succeed William Dlmmock, deceased,
at the regular meeting of the water
board Wednesday afternoon.
From start to finish the outcome of
the election was looked forward to with
the greatest Interest. Two things were
positively proved by the outcome of
the race—Atlanta won’t stand for cut
and dried political deals—and the oth
er—cJvlJ service Is gaining Jn strength.
The first ballot was:
For Smith—Stocks, Dorsey, Wood
ward, Harwell. For Kilpatrick—Dun
can, Turner, McCullough. Pace, Rice,
For Lake—Isake.
The last ballot was:
For Smith—-Dorsey, Duncan, Turner,
Pace, Rice, Woodward, Harwell. Fof
Lake—Stocks, Lake, McCullough.
The first ballot showed things were
evenly divided. There were live com
mlssloners for electing an “outsider'
and five for the civil service idea.
Throughout the long afternoon the
votes were varied. W. W. Draper, ex
Alderman LaHatte, U. L. Hearn. G. G.
Hannah and others of the candidates
were voted for.
Because of a difference of opinion
among the commissioners the city
torney was sent for and handed In
opinion on the eligibility of several of
the candidates. It was unanimously
decided that Councilman Draper was
not eligible for the office. But the real
fight came when some of the commis
sioners claimed that Hnxe nnd Smith
» not eligible. City Attorney May
son would not say whether they were
or were not, In his opinion. The opin-
loij he handed down leaned that way,
however. It was based along the line
that no one holding a city position, who
had been elected to the office for a
stipulated length of time, was eligible
for other office until the term of the
le held expired or was resigned.
Mayor Woodward and Aldernmn
Harwell argued that there would be no
Incentive whatever for hard work In
city offices unless the Incumbents
could look forward to higher positions.
“If there was not such a thing ni
promotion we would all be office ooyi
right now,” said Mayor Woodward,
and his words were loudly cheered by
the spectators crowding the water
works of tier.
Mayor Woodward stated that the law
providing that no one should hold two
or more offices at one time In the city
government was legislated so us to
throw out certain men who were at the
time holding three or four offices, nnd
not attending to their duties' In any
one.
The final ballot was taken after
strong speech by Mayor Woodward,
who brought the matter down to per
sonal grounds. He asked whether
there wns anythlrg against either
Smith or Saxe, and declared If there
as ho wanted to know it, and he
ould change his vote. Then he
asked the antl-civll service commis
sioner* whether or not they, ran their
business along civil service lines or held
n man In one place all his life.
' Th evote was culled for. Commls
sinner Storks held to his original vote
for Saxe, Dorsey voted as usual for
Smith; Duncan, one of the opposition,
broke the deadlock by voting for
Smith: Ltfke voted for Saxe; Turner
voted for Smith, following the ex
ample of Duncan. McCullough, Pace
and even President Rice, leader of the
opposition, voted for Smith, nnd, of
course. Mayor Woodward and Alder
man Harwell carried out their origi
nal plan by swelling the majority.
Housing applause met the decision
and Secretary Smith was congratulated
on ull sides.
Mr. Smith was born In Conyers thir
ty-two years ago. He resides at B6
Cherry street. Before entering the
waterworks department twelve and a
half years hack he wns In the city
marshal's office, where he held a posi
tion for three and a half years.
He Is one of the most popular and
efficient men In the department, and
has made a study of the waterworks
business, having been connected with
It In almost every capacity.
