new BASIS IN RATE
MAY COST A sum.
Company's Agent is Working
Here Now.
GIVING AMERIcus a RERATINe
Fire Alarm System and Additional
Apparatus Would Put AmericuS in the
First CIasS-The Cost, However,
Would Be Considerable.

Americus can be rated in the "first
class" from an insurance standpoint if
the taxpayers 80 desire, for, while the
benefit accruing therefrom would be
general and lasting the expense of
bringing about this desired end will be
very great at first.
Americus is In the second class of
Georgia cities in fire rating, only the
larger cities with expensive equipment,
paved streets and alarm systems hav-
ing the first class rating.
The change here, il made, would be
at considerable expense.
AmerIcus has q wholly paid fire de-
partment, thoroughly equipped for it's
size, and our record on fires surpasses
that of any city of like size In the south
For all this the rate as now fixed by the
tariff association is not high one, it
is said.
Just now Mr.. Joseph Ralne, repre-
sentlng the Southeastern Tariff Asso
citation, which fixes rates in the South,
is in Americus for the purpose OF
studying the situation and re.rating
the city.
He will be thus engaged here all the
week, quite probably.
For Americus to get into the first
class on an insurance basis it would be
necessary to install an electric fire
alarm system at cost of $1,8OO, and
also add materially to the strength of
the fire department both in the way of
men, horses and fire equipment.
What we have is excellent, Mr..
Raine, says, but there is not enough
of 1t for first class rating.
Our streets are level, firm and suited
to fast running, but they are not paved.
All our fire equipment is in one station,
whereas to obtain a first class rating a
station out in the residence portion of
the city must be erected and fully
equipped as we'll.
When Mr.. Raine's report is made to
the association and the council is in
formed thereof it will be decided what
shall be done, If anything, in the way
of additional improvement.

THE PUBLIC MUCH INTERESTED
In Councils Action in Providing Uni
forms,

IOItuDs
Nothing that has occurred recently
has provoked more discussion than the
action of the city council Friday in
voting to furnish free uniforms for the
city street overseer, and the lively de-
bate in council which this rather un.
usual action brought about.
The Tsmes-Recorder told the story in
It's columns Sunday.
This was from the standpoint of AL
derman Pinkston, who vigorously op-
posed uniforming the street overseer,
or for that matter. voting for any fur
ther like expenditures.
Some of the counciImen who favored
the proposition Friday night, and vo.
ted for it, think Mr.. Pinkston a bit
Inc onsistent in the position taken. A
majority of the council, they say, held
a caucus in January, slated all the en-
ployes and fixed their salaries.
This alleged combine" of four mem.
bers thus ignoring the three other
members OF council.
Mr.. Pinkston, it is said, was one ot
these four who named the city stree
overseer and fixed his salary. His pay
remained the same, while that of al
other employees was raised
Inasmuch as there was no increase il
tn esalary of that position, these though

by one of the aldermen voting for th

The others have said nothing, SO fa

doubtless they, like the taxpayers, ART
busy in thinking.

Americus Talent is Well Ahead oi
Game

While the fluctuations in cotton quite
recently have been rather violent,
Americus "talent" has played the mar
ket right and many of the boys
can go to Europe this summer if they
wish. Quite recently several cool thou-
sands have been made here, one rather
bold plunger whom no one suspects OF
fooling with futures having taken out
$4,000 within month, while others
pulled down lesser sums ranging from
$500 to $1,000. All told, Americus
plungers are considerably more than
$4,000 ahead of the game. and are
still in it to finish.
