There was an adjourned meet
ing of the city council Wednes-
day night, the most important
matter to come up being the
much discussed COW law ques-
tion, which was finally disposed of
by the passage of motion
authorizing the mayor to issue a
notice to the owners of COWS to
the effect that they must noS be
permitted to run at large on the
streets after June 10th, next.
In regard to the purchase of an
incandescent dynamo for the
waterworks, Councilman Gardner
reported that he thought a suit
able one could be purchased for
about $4,000, and the water
committee was instructed to Sc
cure bids and report at next reg
ular meeting of the council.
The purchase Of curtains for
the new fire hall was referred to
the fire committee with power to
act.
On motion, the fire committee
was instructed to secure bids for
the erection Of a calaboOse with
power to act. 1t is probable that
the house in which the Lurline
fire engine was formerly kept
will be remodeled and used as a
calaboose.
A motion was passed author
izing the street commissioner
to trim all trees where property
owners did not keep them pro-
perly trimmed, and the city at
torneys were instructed to draw
up an ordinance covering the
ground.
The council met again Friday
night and awarded the contract
for laying the proposed cement
to Messrs. Kelly and
Pope at 10 cents per square foot.
Both sides of Main, Market and
College streets and one side of
Third avenue, north will be paw

That the road now used between

Minutes Of the last regular

The following petition was re-
ceilved.
To the Honorable Board Of
Supervisors, Lowndes County.
We, the undersigned free
holders of Lowndes county, and
interested in the road herein
after propose, respectfully petit
ton your honorable body to open
and work as a public road a
road beginning at a point on the
Columbus and Aberd cen road
where it crosses the line be-
tween the lands of the estate of
Mrs. E. S. Hale and of ]. T, Wood
(formerly Geo. Curry's) about
4 1-2 miles north of Columbus,
running thence in a southwest
erly direction through the land of
Col. j. o. Banks, for about one
mile to q junction with the Lower
Aberdeen or Kelly road near the
Sykes gin house, the said road
lying entirely in Sup. Dist. 1 of
Lowndes county. Your peti-

the proposed road: will nee esSl
tate only one flat bridge, and VI
shorten the road to town. for I
those living on the road more
than five miles from town. Fur
ther, your petitioners represent
that there is a great scarcity Of
hands to work the present road,
and that the replacing of the two
mile stretch between the point Of
beginning and Leigh's Coon farm
by the one mile stretch of new
road, from the point of beginning
to the point where it joins the
Kelly road, which has already
hands assigned to work it, viii
enable the road to be better
worked. Further that even if
the present road is abandoned in
consequence Of the opening of
the proposed road, it will work
no hardship as there is not
single farm animal or vehicle on
the sterch spoken Of. Further.
your petitioners do not think that
the opening Of the proposed
road work any material damage
to the said Wood or Davis as il
will run through no cleared land
Of Davis and only a corner Of
Woods and that such damage as
may be done, would be amply
compensated by the extra faciI-
tiles for reaching town provided.
Your petitioners further request
that your honorable body, or a
com mittee of it, go at the ex-
pence Of your petitioners, and
examine the present and pro-
posed roads, feeling confident
that after an inspection you will
grant this petition.
Respectfully Submitted.
