"he Government Boat Oconee is
Now Clearing the Ocmulgee
River Preparatory to
sumption of Business.
The steamer Nan Elizabeth, of Ma
con, which has gained some notor
iety of all kinds within the past two
years, is going to resume her trips
to Brunswick in the spuing. The fol'
lowing, (from the Nr ws of
yesterday on the subject, will .be of
interest here:
“Toiling energetically between Ma
con and Hawkinsville 1- • the good
boat Oconee, the govern. ;, ent snag
boat whose duty for the few
weeks will be to clear the Ocmulgee
river of all the snags and other ob
stnrtions that may lie in Its course
The neat sum of 8:10,000 has been
set aside by congress to cover the
cost of Improvements along the
stream rtween tills city and Haw
kinsville and by the beginning of
Operation* by tills boaL the work of
si tiding the ?-:on.y to the' best ad
vantage has been started
Just how long the snag boat will
be kept at work depends entirely on
the number of snags encountered be
tween the two cities named. Some
snags are easily removed from the
but others are found deeply imbed
ded aud many hours are taken in
their removal. Last spring the Oco
nee paid Macon several visits aud at
the close of the summer the river
was practically free from obstruct
ions. Winter freshets, however,
added more obstructions and the
work from now on will be freeing
the stream from them.
Several days ago the Oconee tied
up at the Macon wharf near Central
City park but it is now between ihis
point and Hawkinsvillq. Caplaiirj
Woolvin is in charge of the work.
As soon as he has finished the river
will be made deeper in some places
by dredging. Later in the spring
she trips of the Nan Elizabeth will
he resumed between Macon and
Brunswick.”

COUNCIL REBUKES
USD SISIENi
‘n Future the City Clerk Will not
be Allowed to Censure the
i nutes.
There will be no more censoring
of the minutes of the city council.
►ln fact, in only the actual
doings of the body will he recorded
in the minutes of the proceedings,
iu the past it has been the custom
•:f the city clerk to record generally
all kinds of discussions of the var
ious members of council that is,
when the saw fit to do or not to do,
us the case appeared to his incli
nation.
On several occasions council mem
bers have complained of the fact
that they were being misquoted in
llit proceedings and the matter was
finally brought to a focus at the,
meeting Thursday nlghj when Alder
man Wright, himself to
the St.ra ban contact, was asked by
the city clerk totfput his remarks In
writing fur the minutes. The alder
ii,mii did not llkelthe suggestion and
be proceeded to y so very plainly,
i tie said he was gMling tired of such
business and wanltd a stop put to
i: Alderman with Al
derman Wright and sorted that on
two occasions he had mis
quoted in the official
'Mayor Symons said he didViov
think members should bo quoted at
rlt in the record and that the min
utes should only contain the actual
doings of council without being em
Lellished with various disccfsions,
c-le. Alderman Wright then moved
that in future the city clerk be in-
sfruictsul not, to incorporate any of
the dinrusslon:: of council In thfe
minutes but confine his records to
the actual happenings of the body;
lhe motion was unanimously adopt

This action of council will de
