Mr. Branch Speaks Mr. Branch said that it was gratl - to reflect upon the promptitude with which the 'anal has been re paired, the work only requiring about ene-thirti the length of time con burned after the flood of I*SS. he referred to the report of Col. King man, in which the author ridiculed Augusta's “paper protection,-’ and added that the same brought a blush of shame to the cheek of every pat riotlc citixeo. ite expressed hl.» hearty approval ot the mayor's plan and urged that "official Augusta" would be as well able to secure ths co-operation of either national. sta*< or county authorities in the work ot providing flood protection as would a commission from any or all com mercial organizations of the city. Mr. Blackshear Objects. After the second reading of the or dinanre Mr. Blackshear was given the floor. He opposed the adoption of Mr Branch's irdlnance, urging at tention to the fact that council was not sufficiently “wide awake" to in augurate n similar movement before certain conimercl.il organizations took the ma'ter actively in hand, and he proposed as a substitute an or dinance providing for the appoint ment of a commission from counril to confer with the voluntary comnits slon already appointed. At this point ho was interrupted by Mayor Dun bar. who stated that he had *hc mat ter of a counclltnanlc commission In mind before act' -n was taken by the Chamber of ' niwrce » "The fact remains however.'" con tinned Mr. Blackshear, "that thu commercial organizations of Augusta did inaugurate the movement " H. railed attention to the fact that this < ommUstnn had not ignored he exi »nce of council, but hat! i*tlttoned heir advice and counsel. He said the appointment of a commission by layer Dunbar would be a slap Ir the us- of this commission from com- Mr Branch at this Juncture de i* d that the major's movement had •i n actuated by any sueh splrl.
