THE WATERWORKSFROBLEJr.
The General Council and the Board of
Water Commissioners Meet*
The general council and tho board o! water
commissioners are to meet to night.
The meeting will be held in tue committee
room at the city hall and will probably bo
held with closed doors. The meeting was
arranged for during the session of tho city
council yesterday afternoon by
a resolution introduced by Mr.
VanWinkle, of the Fifth ward.
The object of tho contemplated meeting was
not discussed, but it is generally believed that
the meeting was arranged so that the present
condition ot the works could bo considered and
an improvement suggested and discussed.
Every member of tho council realizes tho de
fect in the present council and every member
is anxious to improve it. Mr. Van Winkle is
especially anxious to'do something. He has
given the present system and all its surround
ings a careful consideration and will probably
have a plan to suggest to-night. It is under
stood that the theory is tho building
of several reservoirs in the city. These resor-
b are to be scattered about irt proper places
and the water will be pumped into thorn from
the waterworks. The action of tho joint ses
sion to night will bo watched with interest.

Williams wbrks In & restaurant on Marietta
street, and when the difficulty began was re
turning to the restaurant with a tray of dishes
on his head. He had just passed tho Wein-
meister hotel, when he met Phillips. Phillips
ran against Williams and knocked the
tray of dishes off. Of^ course
the pavement was harder than the dishes, and
the* dishes and not the pavement were bro
ken. Williams, knowing that he would have
the dishes to pay for, called upon Phillips for
the money. Philips’ reply was a hearty laugh.
Williams then threatened to call a policeman,
whereupon Phillip# struck Williams in tbs
mouth. Williams grabbed a sugar bowl,
which was large and heavy, and hit Phillips
over the head. The lick was a hard one, and
downed the dish breaker. The blood flowed
freely, and when Phillips aroee to
hi* feet, he made himself scarce. Williams
was arrested but was released when the facts
were ascertained by the patrolman.

olent Home. *
Atlanta, Ga., January 1, 1W5.—To tho Mayor
ami General Council: In behalf of the board of
trustees of the Atlanta hospital and benevolent
home, ibeg leave to rnako the following report:
During the year just dosed wo have afforded
board, longing, washing fuel, lights, ordinary at
tendance, and, when necessary, nursing and med
ical attendance to two hundred and fifty-six per
sons, inmates of the institution. Besides this, we
Imvo furnished sixty-five nights' lodging and one
hundred and eighty oue rations to pen-ions not
inmates, and whose names are not recorded. In
tlio aggregate, we have furnished nine thousand
cue hundred and fourteen days’ entertainment,
which Is equivalent to the support of one parson
for about twenty-five years. Our present number
of Inmates is thirty-five.
We have had, during this year, thirteen death#.
Fire of these were In almost dying condition
when brought to u>. One of them lived only
twenty-eight hours after he was admi ted.
Our records show the names of all tho Inmates
we have had, with the dates of their entrance and
departure, and a brief account of the history of
ctcb. Wo can also slum the exact number in the
institution for every day in the year.
Our books of account show what moneys we
have received, ami bow every dollar was expen
ded. These books, and also tho records above
spoken of, are subject to your inspection.
Our fare is plain, but wholesome and abundant,
and Is probably belter than most of our Inmates
arc accustomed to. For tho sick we provide luxu
ries whenever they aro needed.
Our rooms ore always open to Inspection. Wo
have no special days for the reception of company,
and we are never.on dress parade; but we are
happy to receive visits from members of tlio city
council, or Indeed from any reputable citizen at
any time, and especially at meal times.

The general council convened in regular
•ession yesterday aiternoon, and transacted a
great deal o£ business.
The first item of generaHnterest considered
by the body was the approximated apportion
ment of the city funds. Clerk Goldsmith pre
sented two balance sheets; one lnadooutby
the council and the qther by the aldermanic
board. Tho two sheets were alike in every
detail except a» to the amounts set aside for
the sewer, the police and the sanitary funds.
The differences in the sheets ns.to these three
funds was caused by tho failure of tho alder-
manic board to concur with tho action of the*
council. Tbs balance sheet presented, by tho
council conformed to the original report of the
finance committee, and gavo to the sowers,
$54,781.19; to tho polfce, $44,797.70, and to
the sanitary, $19,175.40. Tho aldermauic
hoard’s sheet was sewers, $25,781.19; polico,
$54,71*7.70; sanitary, $24,175.40.
UR. REATIB SAY*.
When the sheets had been read Mr. Beatie
moved to non-concur with the board of alder
men, and Mr. Garrett seconded it. Mr. Beatie
then vehemently opposed tho alderinanis
board’s sheet. He said that the indications,
at least the probabilities, are that the city’s in
come this year will bo much smaller than it
wan last year, lie referred to tho shrinkago
in bends and stocks, and asserted that the same
might be looked for in reference to the city’*
property. IIo did not think it right to make
any particular department a pet, as
it were, but that nn equal
attention should be given to all tho depart
ments. Ho then referred to tho burglarios and
petty thefts going on, and declared that more
than half of them were duo to tho negligence
of citizens. Ho thought tlio polico force a
good one, and said that six years ago $26,000
was tho amount appropriated to that depart
ment. Ho referred to General Anderson’s
successful career us chief of police with lim
ited resources and a few men, and said tho cry
for an increase was by no moans a now one.
Ho declared that the city would not liavo near
money enough to carry it through, and said
that the wells and cislerns wero wholly unpro
vided for. lie said that tho uncompleted city
map wanted money, that money would be
needed when suits against tho city were de
cided, and tbnt the schoolhouses wanted
paint.
Mr. May said ho would like to hear from
the alderilicn. He thought the sower fund
ought not to bo decreased, but supposed the
aldermen hn«l good reason for thb charge.
THE REASONS GIVEN.
Mr. Stockdell spoke ’lor the board and gave
tho reasons for taking tho $30,000 from tho
sewer and giving $10,000 to tho polico, $5,000
to the sanitary and $15,000 to the contingent.
Mr. McAfee said lie would bo willing to
concur with the aldermen provided they
would take $10,000 of tho $15,000 transferred
to the contingent and carry it back to tho
sewers. IIo mnde a niotiou to that effect. •
Mr. Hutchison declared that tho police
could not be maintained with less than $55,-
000 and said that it ought to bo $85,000. Ho
then recounted tho frequent escape of crimi
nals caused by tlio want of polico.
Mr. Van Winklo thought the city ought to
liavo wore poljcc,-but said that moro men
without uniforms would be n good idea.
Mr. Manguin was in favor of Mr. Van
"Winkle’s idea of working polico without uni
forms, but wbilo he was showing tho advant
age of the system Mayor Hillycr called bin
to order, ullcging that tho uniform of a po
liceman was not under consideration as the
city did not have the uniforms to buy.
air. McAftee’s motion to carry $10,000 back
to the tewer Bind was tabled.
KXTRAVAGANT WORK.
Mr. Mecaslin took occasion, whilo dismiss
ing the question, to assert that he thought the
street co!nmin«Ion*and the city cngincor had
been extravagant in their department.
Mr. Beatie’a motion to non-concur was
called for, and the ayes and nays ordered.
Those voting aye wort! Messrs. McAfco, Mid-
(llebreok, Garrett, Beatio and Kirkpatrick—5.
Naye--Messrs. May, Kutz, Manguin, Von
Winkle and Rice—5. When tho tie was an
pounced, Mayor Hillyer voted yen, and Mr.
licalic’s motion to non-concur with tho aldor-
mens balance sheet prevailed.
Mr. McAfco then moved that a conforenco
committee be appointed, and tho motion pre
vailed. Mayor llillycr named Messrs Kirk
patrick, Middlebrook, Beatio May and Rico
as that committeo.
THE MERGER RUILDINO.
At the last meeting of tho council Mr. Ed.
Mercer presented a petition for tho privilege
of erecting a building on the railroad and
Whitehall street, between his present restaur
ant and the railroad track. In his petition I10

Mr. Garrett said: "I think we can afford to
