BRANNEN & ANTHONY 3 STORES 102 Whitehall St. 30 Marietta St. 2 E. Mitehall St Liquors for Medicinal | Purposes. 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.
