not approved by the division engineer,
who recommends that the western
channel be improved and that train
ing bikes be constructed as proposed
by him.
The river and harbor board recon-
mends that the project be modified
so as to provide for an eighteen-foot
channel at an estimated cost of $780,
600 inclusive of the balance of funds
on hand, the improvement to be made
by way of the western channel and to
be accomplished by means of dredg-

Soon to Have the Routes.
Representative Adamson to-day re-
ccived official notice from the Postof-
fee Department that all of the rural
free delivery routes along the north
ern border of Coweta county and the
southern border of Campbell county
have been inspected, and favorable re-
ports have been returned to the de-
partment by the postoffice inspectors.
These routes, it will be recalled, were
the subject of much soicitude by Rep
resentatives Adamson and Livingston
Finally an agreement was reached by
which the two counties were inspect
ed together.
The favorable report insures the ear
ly establishment of the routes rec
commended. Representative Adamson
has been assured by the department
that the work will be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible, and the new
routes will probably be in operation
within the next two or three weeks.
Mr.. Adamson also received the
gratifying intelligence that every pc
tition for the establishment of rural
delivery Offices in Georgia, which has
been on file for one year or more,
will be disposed of within the next
six weeks. The petitions of less than
a years standing will in all probable
ity be disposed of during the present
year.
Rome PostOhice Cases.
Representative Maddox to-day call
ed at the Postoffice Department to
confer with the officials relative to the
two suspensions recently made in the
Rome postoffice. The postoffice in
spectors have caused a suspension OF
Capt. Williamson, a carrier clerk. He
is charged with having opened the
mail of DR.. Nixon, drinking while on
duty. and forcibly entering the post
office building while not on duty to
secure a bottle of liquor.
Judge Maddox says the papers on
file at the Postoffice Department show
that Capt. Williamson admits having
opened a life insurance circular adj
dressed to DIR. Nixon, but adds that he
had authority to do so. Williamson
also admits drinking liquor for medici-
nal purposes, under the advice of his
physician, DR.. Hammond. Williamson
also admits going to the postofiice
building when not on duty to get his
rain coat. He did not enter the build
ing. but an associate entered through
the basement and brought the coat to
him.
This explanation, according to Judge
Maddox, may induce the Postmaster
General to revoke the order of suspen-
sion in Capt. Willamson's case. The
subject is now under consideration.
The charges against Mat Parker, a
negro clerk, who is an active politi-
clan. was arrested for robbing the
mall. Decoys were put out and the
result was that Parker was arrested
with the evidence of guilt found upon
his person Indications are that the
order Of suspension in the Parker case
will not be revoked.
