Spirit of Good Fellowship
Pervaded Meeting On
July Fourth.
The 4th of July barbecue at the Wa
terworks park was a great success
from everypoint of view and those who
were fortunate enough to be there
were given a great deal of information
well worth having.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Rev. G. S. Tumlin and the progress
of Marietta for many years back was
reviewed by the following speakers:
Hon. E. H. Clay, Co!l. Blair, Mr. L.
B. Robeson Mayor Black and Dr. Pat
ton.” Judge Morris was on the program
but was ocut of town.
Col. Clay paid a glowing tribute to
Hon. E. P. Dobbs who secured the city
waterworks for Marietta and eulogized
the members of the water board for
their untiring work and highly success
ful manipulation of tha waterworks.
Col. Blair reviewed the history of Ma
rietta’s schools from the time that only
two small private schools existed here
and stressed the need of education and
educational facilities. |
The work of the Board of Lights and
Waterworks was reviewed by - Mr. L.
B. Robeson who brought to light many
facts which were not generaily known
in regard to the property owned by the
city and of the future plans that have
been made for both water and light for
Marietta. His remarks seemed to
sweep the doubt from the minds of
some,who have opposed these improve
ments and his entire speech reflected
the energy, forethought and confidence
with which the water board has per
formed its duties.
The general idea of the meeting was
brought out in the speech of Mayor
Black which is reproduced in full be
low.
Dr. Patton made a very interesting
talk on the natural advantages of Ma
rietta and the Piedmont section of
Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas.
He struck a sympathetic chord when he
spoke of Marietta’s young men. He
said that never before had he seen such
a large number of young men taking
such deep interest in the wellfare and
progress of Marietta and expressed firm
confidence in the future of a city in
which her young men “took such
interest and pride.
Mr. E. L. Stringer was not on the
program for a speech but made a short
talk explaining his reasons for locating
permantly in Marietta. He said that
in his connection with the Western
Union telegraph company he had been
forced to travel all over the United
States and that he found in Mariettta
his ideals of a place to call home.
The speaking was closed with a
prayer by Rev. Duval and the crowd
turned their attention to some of the
best barbecue, Brunswick stew ete,
that a crowd of hung;y men ever
tackled.
MAYOR BLACK’S ADDRESS.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:
The gentlemen who have preceeded
me have shown you the many good
things which our town has been bless
%\\,‘ with the last few years. We now
ave two things which are most essen
ial to healthl Pure water and sewers.
We have one of the best lighted
b awns in the south. Our white way is
\ the envy of all neighboring cijies.
~ Our public schools for the education
of our children cannot be excelled any
where. Onr churches are a credit to &
- city of 25,000 population. Our factories
are known, not only over Georgia, but
the whole of the United States. With
all these advantages, we are still miser
ably behind the times. There are a
few things wé must have and do to get
ourselves going good:
The first is an everlasting, get
to-gether PULL and PUSH for Mar
ietta, and when this is done we can
.accomplish any thing we try for.
We next need cement sidewalks and
paved streets.
The city’s income from taxation is
only 40¢ per hundred, or inother words,
we get about 14000.00 during the year,
from taxation to run every City dep
artment.
The cost of running the City, outside
of street work is $1500.00 per month,
and you can readily sce that there is
net a dollar available for street purp
oses.
{ believe we should have cement
sidewalks on our main streets If we
could get the most important streets
fixed this way, the City would be in
