CITIZENS GET CHEAPER WATER.

Minimum.


Minimum.
Americas is not quite as large city,
perhaps, as Athens, but the Classic
City can give all other Georgia towns
tip on the score of public utilities.
She pays her city employees better sal
aries than does Ameticus, while her

der compulsory meter system the
minimum rate of so cents to consum-
ers was abolished, and during the past
year large numbers of consumers un
der the meter system have been Sc
curing their water at from 30. to Sc.
per month. At the meeting of coun-
Gil recently it was the unanimous opip :
ion of the memb ers that it was perfect
ly ridiculous to furnish man to read
the meter, to furnish stationery for the
making out of accounts, to furnish an
officer to keep those accounts and one
to collect them, for such small sums;
therefore minimum rate of 25c. per
month has been adopted for the future.
Americus consumers pay So so as a
minimum rate, just ten times the rate
charged in Athens.

WHEN THE HORSE is NO MORE.
There Will be Less Interference With
Street Railway Traffic.

Just at this time, when the urban
public has experienced some of the in
conyeniences caused by the effects OF
exceptional weather upon our trans
portation systems in New York and
elsewhere, it is we'll to call attention
to one serious cause of trouble and
delay.
In his reply to Mayor Lows en-
curry, asking what could be done to
ameliorate the unfortunate conditions
now existing in New York, President
Herbert H. Vreeland spoke OF the
troubles caused by trucks and other
vehicles blockading the tracks OF the
Metropolitan Street Railway company.
In his report to the transportation
committee of Chicago, Mr.. Bion j.
Arnold speaks Of the same matter.
This cause of delay is beyond the
control of the railway companies, and
in Justice to them, it should be borne
in mind whenever the question of bet
ter service is under discussion. This
interference becomes more trouble
some every day. While the railway
companies do not own the streets, the
convenience OF the public requires that
the street cars be given the right OF
way whenever possible. This mat
ter deserves the immediate attention
Of the city officials. If the present
regulations of street traffic are ade-
quate, those in authority should see
to it that they are enforced. If they
are not adequate, the sooner the mat
ter is taken up by those in authority
and suitable regulations enforced the
better.
1t is comforting to think that when
the slow-moving horse is entirely
displaced by the automobile, much OF
this delay will be avoided.
