The freight yard at the Central
railroad in this city has been com
pleted. The yard has been made most
convenient for thc handling of both
cotton and unloading automobiles,
the work having been done at the
expendiutre of several thousand dol
lars.
The depot was recently remodeled
und the interior mad:- more modern.
Mr. D. M. Rogers, the agent, has
been vigilant in suggesting to and
co-operating with tne Central author
ities to make the depot here one of
the most attractive on the Central
system.
Several new side tracks have beer,
added and a concrete run way made
for thc vehicles handling freight.
Postmaster H. T. Cline has re
ived ar. appropriation from the
»st Office Department which au
thorizes him to employ a special car
rier to deliver parcel post four hours
each day. Thi* will greatly add to the
facilities of handling parcel post
packages and delivering them prompt
ly-
There are large quantities of
packages being received at the Mill-
cdgeville Post Office, andthe addi
tion to the delivery force will more
adequately equip the office for
ipt sun-ice to the public.
The Central of Georgia Railroad
has granted the city of Milledge-
rille he privilege of connecting thc
sewer line of the city to the private
line of the railroad at the depot. This

Pave tothe River Bridge Says
Ckanker of Coaunerce Secre
tary ia PiKitiwg Progress
No matter what line a City claims
as the city limits, from now on, it
is going to be said, that the CITY
BEGINS WHERE THE PAVING
ENDS.
That is not only going to apply to
Milledgeville, hut every other city in
Georgia.
Will we have Milledgcville begin
ning on the East jdde, at Jefferson
Street, or at the river bridge? Han
cock street is one of the main arte
ries of this county, it is traveled
from the centre of the city, to the riv
er bridge as part of a great highway
and carries perhaps as much traffic as
.any other street going out of the
town.
By all means pave thia street to
the river bridge, for I am sure that
the first paved road across the State
of Georgia is coming from Augusta
to Macon, und this stretch is going
to have more traffic than any qthcr
street. We can’t have several blocks
of a red slick hill just as you come
into Milledgeville.
I am calling attention to this mat
ter, whilp our present council, that
has done so much for the pavement
movement, is still in existence, -os
they only have a few weeks in which
to act, and I have not heard of this
section being included in any of their
They have ample authority to do

it is necessary to improve any street,

including or excluding the sidewalks
by paving, repaving, macadamizing,
or otherwise improving, as author
ise provided for in section (3) of this
act.
Section (3) is the one providing
for pavement by a petition from 8
majority of thc land owners, but
this section *ive gives authority to
do it without such a petition, and it
would seem that now is the time while
the paving contractors are here to
