BRANNEN & ANTHONY 1 102 Whitehall St. 30 Marietta St. 2 E. Mitchell 8t uststir Purpose. After many speeches, no little heated argument and thirty-six ballots, W. Z. Smith, who for lyrelve years haa been connected with the city waterworka de partment In different capacities, was elected secretary of the department, to succeed William Dlmmock, deceased, at the regular meeting qf 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—civil service Is gaining In strength. The first ballot waa: For Smith—Stocks, Dorsey, Wood ward, Harwell. For Kilpatrick—Dun can, Turner. McCullough, Pace, Rice, For Lake—Lake. The last ballot waa: For Smith—Dorsey, Dunean, Turner, Paee, Rice, Woodward, Harwell. For Lake—Stock., Lake, McCullough. The first ballot showed things wsre evenly divided. There were five com mlssloners for electing an “outsider' and live for the civil service idea. Throughout the long afternoon the vole, were varied, w. W. Draper, ex- Alderman LaHatte, B. L. Hearn, O. O. Hannah and others of the candidate, were voted for. Because of a difference of opinion nrng the commissioners the city at torney was sent for and handed In ai opinion on the eligibility of several o( the candidates, it was unanimously decided that Councilman Draper was not eligible for the office. But the real light came when some of the commis sioners claimed that Saxe and Smith were not eligible. City Attorney Slay- eon would not say whether they were or were not. In his opinion. The opin ion he handed down leaned that way, however. It was based along the lino 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 one held expired or was resigned. Mayor Woodward and Alderman Harwell argued that there would be no Incentive whatever for hard work in “It >• offices unless the incumbents could look forward to hlghnr positions “If there was not such a thing a promotion we would all be office boy right now." aald Mayor Woodward, and his words were loudly cheered by the spectators crowding the water works office. Mayor Woodward stated that .... providing that no one should hold two or more offices at one time In the city government was legislated so as to throw out certain men who were Rt the time holding three or four offices, and not attending to their duties In any one. The final ballot was taken after a strong speech by .Mayor Woodward, who brought the matter down to per sonal grounds. He asked whether there was nnythlrg against either Smith or Saxe, and declared If there was ho wanted to know It. and ho would chnngo his vote. Then he asked the antl-civll service commis sioners whPther nr not they ran their business along civil service lines or held a man In one place all Ids life. Tit evote was called for. Commie sloncr Stocks hold to his original vote for Saxe. Dorsey voted as usual for Smith: Duncan, one of the opposition, broko the deadlock by voting fur Smith: Lake voted for Saxe; Turner voted for Smith, following the ex ample of Duncan. McCullough, Pace and even President Rico,-leader of the opposition, voted for Smith, and, of course. Mayor Woodward and Alder man Harwell carried out their origi nal plan by swelling the majority. Rousing applause met the decision and Secretary Smith won congratulated on all sides. Sir. Smith was bom In Conyers thir ty-two years ago. He resides at 66 t'hprry atreet. Before entering tho waterworks department twelve nnd a half years hack he was 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 tnen In the depnrtmnit, and haa made u study of the waterworks business, having been connected wltti it In almost every capacity.
