Lieut.. c. B. Satterlee of st. Phillips

The substance of his report was "devel-

ALDERMAN AND LEGISLATOR. c
A Question whether Capt. screven Can
Be Both at the Same Time.

The fact that Capt. Thomas Screven
Is a member. both of the city council and
the state assembly seems to have escaped
general notice
Since his election as a member Of the
legislature Capt. screven has continued
TO quietly perform his duties as member
of the board of aldermen. The legis-
lature meets a week from next Wednes-
day. Oct "a, however, when he will be
called to Atlanta to perform his duties as
a member of that body. A question has
arisen as to whether he can occupy the
dual position of alderman and represent
alive. Capt. Screven was asked if he in
tended resigning from council He re-
piled that he had sought legal advice on
the subject and had been informed that
there was no legal objection to his contin-
uing in the performance of his duties as
q member of both bodies.
1T makes very little difference one yyav
or the other he said. "The session of
the legislature is only fifty days, and as
council only meets every two weeks. I
could easily run down to Savannah to at
tend the meetings of council if there
should be any necessity for doing So
That is, if the members Of the legislature

The rate on the latter which is fourth

double first class, it is $1.Aa per hundred
