CITY COUNCIL CULLlNGS

Ever since the first of Septem-
Der the city council has been
holding an average of about three
meetings per week for the purpose
of equaIizing the tax rolls and,
incidentally, for the transaction
Of whatever special or routine
business that might come up.
The city is growing SO rapidly
that it requires a great deal of
time to dispose of the ordinary
business that accrues during
each month, and the regular
monthly sessions always have to
be supplemented by number of
adjourned and called meetings.
At the meeting Tuesday night
contract was entered into with
Mr.. T. J. Cady to lay three thou
sand feet of 2-inch water pipe
in the north eastern section of
the city. rms pipe VIII carry
water to the new negro school
house, which is to be erected on
the old Kemp property, which the
council recently purchased for
this purpose.
Mr.. Hunt, the architect who is
to superintend the construction
of the new city hall, is expected
to arrive in the city next Monday.
and during his visit herearrange-
ments will doubtless be made to
advertise for contracts for the
construction of the building.
The council will meet again to-
night for the purpose Of continu-
ing the equalization of the tax
rolls and for the transaction of
such other business as may come
up.

town in the south except for side
walks. why said one Of
them, and the other endorsed it,
''Your walks are a disgrace 10
your city and a reflection upon
the energy and enterprise Of your
people. " Was there ever an Ut
terance more true or a criticism
more deserved? Everybody will
answer No" There are possi-
bly, ten or twelve residences in
the city which have good walks
in front Of them, but ninety eight
per cent. of the side walks are
made up of mess Of broken
brick, roots and small gullies..
They are a disgrace to the city,
and something should be done to
improve them.
