Profiting *ty last Wednesday night s

tinns in the next room.
it was 12,30 when council finally
filed into the council chamber. Aider
man Robinson was about to move for
a recess, when Alderman Cox threw
bombshell in the nature of a reso
lution which seems to have let the
cat out of the bag. Alderman Cox's
resolution provided that before ”
passage of the strachan ordinance
that Mr. Strachan be compelled to
make a special agreement to turn over
to tbe city the present water works
plant of the .Mutual Light and Water
Company at an arbitrated v lue and
that these plans be su .mitt .-d to coun
cil. It also provided that Mr. Stra
chaa put up a certified check fm
$3,000 payable to the city as coon as
the franchise was voted to him, la
addition to the *2,000 chock provided
for is said franchise. The resolution
was a lengthiy one and provided that
Mr. Strachan also submit to council
statements and specifications as to
machinery to be used in his opera
tions; that he fix date for arbitrating
value -o the water ({plant and, in
other words that council be fully ac
quainted with every detail touching

Fox rose to discuss
asked whether or not a motion to
table was debatable and the city at
torney stated that it was not. Alder
; man Cox however, insisted on making
a statement in which he finally called
i ior the aye and nay vote. Alderman
■'A(right said the resolution of Mr.
cox was a reflection on council after
"hat had transpired in the executivt
session. Alderman Cox explained that
M-i.-- v-e of the Strachan franchise was
| no discrimination against the Homan
| proposition, tut he thought under the
( . "instances such a resolution was
iitee.sary. On the aye and nay vote
1 . entire council voted against the

■ nost cordial welcome by his fellow
citizens who were pleased to see him
enjoying splendid health after the* very
long and busy session of congress
which ended on Monday. The session
was a trying one on all of the meiu
niers and was noted for the unusual
large amount of work done. Bo pres
sed was the national legislature for
time in which to enact important legis
lation that it became necessary for
both of its branches to hold sessions
last Sunday, a practice very
resorted to by congress.
I wring the arduous session covering
a period of over three months, Con
gressman iiraulley fins accomplished
sonic very great things lor all sections
ol the Eleventh district, which have
been recorded all over the district
from time to time.
Bo far as 111 unswick is concerned,
ne ha worked miracles as Is best
evidenced by the fact that, ho has se
cui ' and appropriations for the inner and
outer harbor, including a thitry-foot
project fiom docks to sea aggregating
very near a half million of dollars.
Then again, while the senate trimmed
down liis item of $ iu.uijo for the deep
ening of Ciubb and Plantation creeks
to *30,000, that iti-.cu is a sspleudid
piece ol work and has done much to
stimulate river traffic on the AlUwnaha
and Oconee rivers to Brunswick.
The people of lli unswick are deep
ly appreciative of the splendid work
ol their immediate representative in
congress and*WW——fc now arranging
to present him with
ing cup as a testimonial of
teom and appreciation

popular congressman.

Stonewall.
The passage of the resolution, intro
luce 1 by Aiedrman Mann, provides fo.
.ibis street work, occasioned consider
able discussion in council. Alderma:
Robinson was opposed to tile Albe
narle street, work because ho said
,t was in the interest, of certain fac
lories h eated in that section, and that
>e was not in favor of voting for tht
resolution unless it. included Rgmont
street thus facilitating the coming an .
toing of school children in that, sec
tion of tho city.

Mr. Wright has always been an
active member of tho board and his

T. Cann that he appoint Mr. Hohen
6tein as magistrate. Judge Cann dc
( lined without slating his reasons.
Today Hohensteln filed a petition tc
have the judge formally decline ti
act upon the recommendation. Judge
fiiuixi acquisced, and he and Hohen
stein had an interesting dialogue
Judge Onn has never given Iris rea
sons saying he did not want to saj
why do did not want t.o appoint Hob
eustein. Since the latter is going to
take tho matter to the supreme couri
however, tho judge says he will not
hesitate to say why he does not think
Hohensteln should bo appointed.
