THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. BOLUME 1. NO. 260. It I BUY CAR OF BEAUMONT OIL - THE CITY IS NOW CONSIDERING THE ADVISABILITY * Or IT. Needed for Street Purposes.— §The Question of Heating is HP Like Banquo’s Ghost * Will Not Down. The members of the city council are now considering whether or not they will purchase a car load of oil to be used on the streets of toe city. Some time ago they dadded to pur chase a small amount of this oil to be used as a test, in order to ascertain whether or not it would do wnat was claimed ior it in the manor of solidi fying the streets. They have been advised, however, tnat the smallest quantity .that can bo purchased is one car or about one hundred and fifty barrels. The manu facturers have made a very reasons ble price, and the only obstacle in the way of the purchase is me fact that the city lias no way of heating the oil to the degree necessary for its appliea Don. „ Such a heating apparatus as would life necessary for this purpose would ciwt something like SI,OOO and the cllyj authorities do not feel mat they could expend such a sum as that on an experiment. City Clerk Kussell, however, is now corresponding with a number of of ficials in cities where the oil is being used, in the hope qf gaining some in formation that will obviate the ne cessity of providing the heating ma chinery. If this can be done it is very like.y tnat Lie car of oil will be ordered. FOR A FOUR YEAR TERM. Movement on Foot to Make All Coun ty Officers' Tenure That Period. Sheriffs clerks of the superior court, tax collectors and tax receivers all over the state are now interesting themselves in a movement which, if successful, will give each of these county olliccrs a term of four years instead of Iwo as at present. A hill l*r)vjiliiig for the change is to be in t educed tins year in tho legislature Slid the members of the County Offi cers’ Association of Georgia are call ing to the attention of the senators am! representatives in their respective ,< s' nets and counties the provisions ot the propoicd measure. Captain John W. Nelms of Fulton county, president of the association, has sent communications on tiie sub ject to all tho sheriffs clerks, tax re ceivers and tax collectors in the slate and has received a number of encour aging replies. Tne following is a copy of the let ter sent out by President Nelms: To tho Sheriff: I write you, and through you, the other county offi cers of your county, that yoursen and clerk, tux collector, tax reiver are interested in seeing your senator and representatives and Instruct them to support a bill that will be introduce) at the next sitting of the general as sembly of Georgia, to make an even tenure of office for all county officers in thiij state for four years. Tnis is not only to the interest of each .of you, by saving you the time trouble and expense incident upon these elections every two years, hut it is a great saving to the voters in every county in the loss of time, the trouble they have in being hindered and annoyed by county office seekers. This is not only fair to all, as half of tne county officers, to-wit: or dinaries, county commissioners, judges and solicitors, hold their of fice lor lour years mow, there is no reason why the remainder of me of ficers should not have a four years’ term aiso. But every voter and office holder in the state are directly interested in the passage of tnis hill. Yours truly, JOHN W. NELMS. President of the County Officers’ Association of Georgia. Last, year a hill similar to tfie one referred to was introduced in the sen ate. In addition to county officers it also prov.ded ior a long term for state house officers as well.
