) SEXTON’'S REPORT
Marietta, Ga. Aug. 4, 1913,
To the Mayor and Council of the
City of Marietta, Ga:
CITY COVMMISSION BILL
PASSED BY LEGISLATUFRE
The bill providing for a change in
the City Government of Marietta to
a board of Commissioners passed the
Senate Wednesday and is now ready
for the signature of Governor Slaton.
This bill has been very carefully
prepared by a large number of Mar
jetta’s citizens. In preparing it they
'have been guided by charters of
!other cities that have had this form
i()f government in force, and the com
'mittee that prepared the bill believes
ithat it has taken the best from the
‘'many bills considered, and feel that
lthe bill for Marietta is near perfect.
! The bill provides for three com
;’missioners. all of whom are to be
elected by the people at an election
fto be called at a later date. One of
‘these commissioners is to have en-i
ftire charge and control of the water
works, electric lights, and sewerage;
one to have entire charge and control
of the streets, parks and cemeteries,
and the other, who is to be chairman,
is to have charge of the fire and po
lice departments, and all other mat
ters that do not come under the head
of the departments mentioned above.
In a sense, the chairman is to be
mayor,
The bill provides for the election
by the Board of Commissioners of
fire chief, police ckief, and superin
tendent of lights and water and pro
vides ?gfiher that after the board
ielects em that the commissioner in
charge is to have complete control
iand be resposible for the department
assigned him. This places INDIVID
UAL RESPONSIBILITY.
The bill provides further that a
certain amount is to be set aside for

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
the next three years to be applied
on the city’'s present indebteduess.
This will enable the three commis
sioners that come in office to have
a reasonable amount of money to
take care of the city in such a man
ner will enable them to get good
results.
The bill provides further for the
consolidation of all clerical work of
all departments in one office and un
der the supervision of one compe
tent accountant who is to be under
a surity bond of not less than
$5000.00 and to be held respon
sible and accountable for the proper
keeping of all records and funds. He
is to be city clerk, city treasurer and
book keeper.
i The bill provides further that dur
ing the early part of each year, the
three commissioners are to set aside
a certain amount that may be ex
pended in the operation of each de
partment, and that no commissioner
can exceed the amount set aside for
his department, without the unani
mous consent of the Board, Under
‘this. plan, there is little likelihood
‘ot the city expenditures exceeding
its revenues,
The bill provides for the referen
dum and recall, so that in the event
that any official proves to be incom
petent, negligent, or unworthy, he
may be recalled, and an election for
ihis successor had within a short
time,
From what we can learn, this bill
has many valuable features, and at
a later date, we will give more fully
the benefits that Marietta shuld de
rive from such government.

He was elected Junior Warden for the
coming year at the Masons Conven
tion at Powder Springs last week.
We believe Glenn will make a good
officer.
SOME WASHINGTON NEWS,
William G. MecAdoo, Secretary of the
Treasury, let a dozen or so disting
iuished visitors wait impatiently in
‘tlw reception room of his private of
ifice recently while he talked and
laughed over old times down in
!(}c\nrgia with “Aunt” Julia Gibson,
his old negro ‘mammy,’ who is
{black as midnight in a dungeon.
, Aunt Julia is the mother of sev
enteen children and still is a resi
]dent of the town in which the secre
tary was born, Marietta, Ga. She
| ;
came all the way to Washington to
'call on “her chile.”
‘l Mr. McAdoo said afterwards the
f\'isit was one of the most pleasant
he has had since he took charge of
affairs in the Treasury.
Aunt Juia told the Secretary that
when he was a youngster he was al
ways doing something he ought not,
and he, in turn, told her how feroc
‘ious she seemed to be at times,
, She also described how she used to
whip Mr. McAdoo's brother, Henry,
for daring to thump the life out of
the Cabinet-officer-to-be.
[ In “Aunt” Julia's handbag was an
jold-fashioned daguerretype of Mr.
:McAdoo's father and mother, and she
;gave it to the Secretary as a memen
,to. Mr. McAdoo was overjoyed to
receive it,
I When “Aunt’ Julia left the Treas
ury she carried an autographed pic
ture of the Secretary and the build
:ing and nearly a hundred new buf-
Ifalo nickels.

For The County.
This story was sent in by a Pow
der Springs Mason after the story on
the front page was ready to print. It
tells something about the dinner
which we are unable to describe.
All we can offer in reply to his
expression of our attendance is that
we were unable to borrow a suit of
clothes from *‘Bill” Frey and we were
afraid that the slender clothes we are
fortunate enough to own would not
stand the size of the dinner.
- Furthermore we were busy mailing
‘out the Journal and business inter
fered with pleasure.
~ The teidth annual meeting of the
Cobb county Masonic Convention
was held with Springville Lodge,
)}No. 153, at Powder Springs, Thurs
day, August 7th inst.
} The convention assembled in Mas
onic Hall for a business meeting.
ißeports for the various lodges of the
county were read and showed each
'ot them in a prosperous condition,
and with a total membership of
about 1.000.
' The next annual meeting is to
‘be with the Lodge at Lost Mountain
‘and on the first Thursday in August
1914,
The officers elected for the ensue
ing year are:- Joseph W. Arnold, W.
M. J. Glenn Giles, J. W. G. D.
Miller; 3. W.: H. .- H. Logan
Secty.-Treas. The other officers are
appointed by the Worshipful Master
and will be announced later.
The business session being ended
the lines were formed and the con
vention proceeded to the Spring
park, where the 3,000 people assem
bled were entertained with address
es by Past Grand Master Thos. H.
Jeffries, Deputy Grand Master H. H.
Ballard, Rev. S. R. Belk, Joseph G.
Camp, and other brethren.
Splendid readings were given by
Miss Ruth Bartlett, of Dallas, Ga.,
and by Misses Lois Bookout, Josie
Vaughn and Lorena Vansant. Mus
ic for the occasion was furnished by
the Marietta band and was much en
joyed by all present.
Nearly every business house in
town was closed during the time
of the convention. This beautiful
tribute of eespect on the part of our
merchants to the grand old order of
Freemasonry is very much appre
ciated by the Masons, and at a meet
ing of the Lodge the following Sat
urday evening a resolution was
?mioptvd and spread on the records
sincerely -thanking those citizens for
their timely kindness and beautiful
tribute paid to the convention.
The people of the town and for
miles around made the ocecasion a
picnic and day of rejoicing, in many
of which families there are no Mas-
ons but came with well fiilled bas
kets and countenances bright with
smiles intent upon helping to enter
tainr our guests, the convention and
worship at the shrines of Freemason
ry.
It was a splendid day, every one
happy and intent upon making ev
ery other one so.
A long board table had been pro
vided in the shade of the large
oaks near the pavilion and was load
ed to its capacity with good things
to eat, just such things as country
people know how to prepare, bruns
wick stew, (must have the stew be
cause of brother Ballard) mutton,
pork, beef, c-h-i-c-k-e-n, biscuit
like our mothers used to make, mod
ern day biscuit, loaf and other bread,
cake, potato pies, apple pies, peach
pies and then pies and pies. Mr. Ed
itor you ought to have been here and
to have seen that table ‘“before and
after.”
God bless the people who so gen
erously went into their hoarded
stock of smiles and other good things
and helped us entertain the im
mense crowd of people assembled on
this occasion.
The writer is proud of the fact
that he is a Mason and feels that
he has been greatly honored by
being admitted to an order that has
for its advocates the Belks, Jeffries,
Camps, Taylors, Myerhardts, Baunks,
Napiers, Rushins, Redwins, Ballards
and thousands of other good true
and tried men.
Quite a number of Masons from
Marietta, Acworth, Kennesaw, Lost
Mountain, Dallas, Douglasville, Lith
ia Springs, Austell and Mableton
were present and helped to make
the occasion one te be remembered.
