HAS THE MAYOR A RIGHT TO VETO THE
ACTIONS OE CITY COUNCIL, EXCEPT ON
APPROPRIATION MATTERS, THE QUESTION
This Very Interesting Proposi
tion to Come up Following
Mayor Hayne’s Announce
ment That He Would Veto
$750 Near Beer License.
WHAT CITY CODE SAYS
WITH REGARD TO VETOES
Council By Vote of Ten Nine
Decides on $7 50 Instead of
SI,OOO. No Statement on
Veto Question Could Be Had
From City Attorney As He is
Out of the City.
Just whnt rights Augusta mayors
have to veto actions of city council
Ware principal topics for discussion In
Augusta Tuesday, following the meet
ing of council, at which the near beer
license was reduced from 11,000 to 1750
and Mayor Hayne announced that he
would veto It. Council Monday night
took up the tax and the business li
cense ordinance for 1016. The finance
committee had recommended thst the
near beer license remain at 11,000 anil
that the other licenses remain prac
tically the same as they are this year.
When the clerk finished reading the
ordinance Councilman Woodward of
the Fifth moved that the near beer li

the license the following is the manner
In which members of council voted:
For reduction: Allen, Hoyle, Boyce,
Vaughan, Kent, McDonald, Barnes,
Harrison, Woodward and Martin 10
Against reduction: Irvin, Jones,
Castleberry, Raworth, Pilcher, Smith,
Cuthbert, Moore and Mayor Hayne -0.
Maj'or Hayne, In announcing his
veto, stated that he had always wanted
to aet in accord with the majority of
members of council; that he was try
ing to discharge the dutleH of his of
fice zealously and conscientiously, and
that he believed It his duty In that In
stance to veto the action of council.
The mayor continued that if the mem
bers of council wished to set aside his
veto it was their privilege,
Mr. Jones of the First ward moved
as a substitute for Mr. Woodward's
motion that the a lion of the finance
committee fixing the license at 11,000
l>e ratified.
Why the Reduction?
Taking the position that Mayor
Hayne did, that Is, that the licenses
should remain SI,OOO, Connell men
Kmlth of the Fifth ward asked why
was there any proposal to reduce.
Mr Woodward retorted that he
thought all business licenses should be
reduced fine-fourth because of the
business depression and that he was
entirely consistent In his efforts for
a reduction of the near beer license
because he did not wish to see the
reduction confined to this branch of
business alone.
Mr. Al’-'ti tat»d that lie was in fa
vor of the reduction proposed by Mr.
Woodward, because of the business
depression, stating that the near beer
dealers were very heavily taxed.
Mr. Kent said that he was In favor
of having all other lleenses remain the
same and fix the near beer license at
$750.
Mr. Jones of the First said he would
favor a S2OO license If nothing but
beer was sold.
The ordinance fixing the license at
SI,OOO, as proposed by the finance com
mittee. together with the general busi
ness license ordinance, failed lo reach
Its second and third rendin.'T on the
objection of five members of council,

The Mayor’* Right.
At to the mayor's right lo veto there
has been, as stated, much discussion
on the streets Tuesday.
An attempt was made to get a state
ment from City Attorney C. Henry
Cohen, hut he left for Atlanta at 7:40
a. m. Tuesday.
Mr. W. H. Barrett, former city at
torney, could not be reached, either,
he also being In Atlanta.
Mayor 1,. C. Hayne Is ill at his home
and could not be reached. Searching
through the city code, investigators
found only two references to the
mayor's veto power. One is in section
631, which says: "The mayor has a
vote on all questions in council or
committee (except upon the question
of the repassage of an ordinance which
he has disapproved), and If his vote,
when given lo the minority, makes
the question equal, the question shall
be lost.”
Section 775 says: "Council has pow
er to repass any appropriation ordi
nance disapproved by the mayor, by
a vote of two-thirds of the members
of council, the mayor not being quali
fied to vote on such repassage.”
The near beer mutter may or may
not tie construed as an appropriation
ordinance. The money from near beer
dealers goes to make up the appro
priations, but the question !h whether
or not this Is a far-fetched construc
tion of the matter.
The outcome of the affair will be
watched with Interest. The advocates
of the $750 license say that they will
have an ordinance drafted with this
provision in it and call meetings of
council to pass it. A statement on
the question from the city attorney
will lie awaited with Interest.
THE HISTORY OF
VETOES, MAYORS
OF AROUSTA
Mayor Walsh Vetoed Ordinance
in 1898. Mayor Allen Last
City Executive to Exercise
Veto Power. Both of These
Involved Appropriations.
The vflto by Mayor Hayne of tho
$750 n«ir boor Hcenso proposition re
call* two vetoes by Augusta mayors
of the past.
On Jan. 8, 1888, Mayor Patrick
Walsh vetoed an ordinance provic’ g
for the offlct> of a city electrician, an
assistant chain gang guard, a keeper
of the locks and a sewer flusher, the
men to fill these positions to pe paid
by the city. The council failed to
carry the matter over the mayor’s
head hy the necessary two-thirds ma
jority and it was dropped.
Mayor Walsh gave as his reasons
for vetoing the ordinance that he a
right because it meant an appropria
tion of money.
The next veto was by Mayor Alien,
lie vetoed an ordinance appropriating
$46,000 for the purchase of a block of

land in front of the union depot. An
attempt was made to carry the or
dinance over the mayor's veto hut
there was a dispute over a fraction of
a vote, one councilman being absent,
and the matter hung fire until Mayor
Dunbar went in when the ordinance
was passed.
Augusta attorneys who were asked
about the question /of the mayor's
veto stated that the original charter
of the city gave him no veto power
and the acts of the legislature of 1878
dealt with the question a,s follows and
they have never been repealed or
amended:
“The mayor shall have revision of
all ordinances appropriating money or
creating any new debt, other than for
ordinary expenses, or for the pay
ment of debts alread Incurred. Every
such ordinance shall he presented to
the mayor, and before it shall take
effect, be approved by him. or being
disproved, shall be re-passed by a
vote of two-thirds of the members of
council.”
SAY COUNCIL WILL
UPHOLD THE MAYOR
Members Declare That Council
Will Reconsider and That the
License Will Remain SI,OOO.
—t
Although the advocates of SI,OOO li
cense seemed to get a temporary set
back in council Monday night, still
members of council on Tuesday wore
willing to bet that the license wou; 1
remain SI,OOO and that Mayor Hayne
and the SI,OOO advocates would pre
vail in the end.
As to whether the mayor has a right
to veto such action was not consid
ered of consequence by these gentle
men, who said that council would re
consider, anyway.

Makes Stubborn Coughs
Vanish in a Hurry
Snrprlalngly Good Coigk Syrap
Easily and Cheaply
Made at Home
If some one in your family has an ob
stinate cough or a bad throat or chest
oold that has been hanging on and refuses
to yield to treatment, t;et from any drug l
store ounces of Pinex and make it
into a pint of cough syrup, and watch
that cough vanish.
Pour the. 2% ounces of Pinex (50
cents worth) into a pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. The total cost is about 54 cents,
and gives you a full pint—a family
supply —of a most effective remedy, at a
safing of $2. A day’s use will usually
overcome a hard cough. Easily prepared
in 5 minutes —full directions with Pinex.
Keeps perfectly and has a pleasant taste.
Children like it.
It’s really remarkable how promptly
and easily it loosens the dry, hoarse or
tight cough and heals the inflamed mem
branes in a painful cough. It also stops
the formation of phlegm in the throat
and bronchial tubes, thus ending the per
sistent loose cough. A splendid remedy
for bronchitis, winter coughs, bronchial
asthma and whooping cough-
I’inex is a special and highly concen
trated compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, rich in guaiacol, which is so
healing to the membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking your
iruggist for ounces of Pinex,”' and
do not accept anything else. A guarantee
as absolute satisfaction goes with this
preparation or money promptly refunded.

What Leads to
Tuberculosis?
lo tho opinion of many medical au
thoritle*, the development of pulmonary
tuberculosis (consumption) It hastened,
If not actually precipitated, by a loss of
Itme from the system. ‘‘Where there Is a
decalclfleatlon, the lime salts must be
supplied medicinally,” says Dr. J. W.
Carhart, of San Antonio, Texas. In the
May, 1913, issue of "Medical Progress.”
To supply these necessary salts has,
In many Instances, proved a difficult
matter, since in some forms they are
not easily assimilable.
In Eckraan’s Alterative, however, cal
cium (Itme) is so combined with other
remedial agents as to be assimilated by
the average person without digestive
disturbance, and to this. In part. Is due
the success of this remedy In the treat
ment of tuberculosis and chronic throat
and bronchial affections.
We make no boastful claims for Eck
man’s Alterative, but a careful record
of results obtained during years of wide
spread use warrants the assertion that
many such cases apparently have yielded
to It.
It contains no opiates, narcotics or
habit-forming drugs, hence its use is not
attended with danger. Your druggist
has it or will order it, or you can send
direct.
