If you will come in some day and we will tell you all about it. The case of the Fowler-Flemisier Coal Co. vs. the City of Milledgeville, mayor and aldermen for permanent injunction was heard before Judge J. B. Park at the court house, Mon day. ,The case was that of the city hav ing leased a portion of Wilkinson St., adjoining the property of the Fowler -Flemister Coal Co., to Mr. Hugh T. Cline. The Fowler-Flemister Coal Co. filed a petition for injunction to restrain Cline from going into pos session of the portion of Wilkinson street sought to be leased, and to re strain the city from carrying out the terms of its lease contract. The case turned upon the construc tion of the amendment to the city charter of the acts of 1909. Thi s act gave the city the right to sell public streets when in the discretion of the mayor and aldermen it was for the best interests of the city and its in habitants. The mayor and aldermen by the city attorney, Col. Livingston Kenan, contended that under the statute, the sale or lease of the streets was a discretionary power vested in the mayor and aldermen over which the courts had no jurisdiction. The Fow- levFlemister Coal Co., by their at torneys, Messrs. Sibley and Sibley, contended that under this statute the decision of the mayor and aldermen in the leasing of the street of the city, was limited to cases where the public interest was involved, and not the private interests of the individual citizen. The court held with the plaintifTs and issued a permanent re straining order. The case was warmly contested by the attorneys of each side, and con sumed the entire morning. The de cision will probably have an import ant effect upon the control of the streets. NEGROES LOSE LIVES IN THE OCONEE RIVER Ben and Charley Dean Were Drowned Saturday After noon Near City.
