JUDGE ROBERTS RESIGNS.
Gives Up Office He Has Held for the
Past Seven Years. Duties Were
Too Heavy for Him.

Ordinary j. w. Roberts on yester-
day rendered his resignation as treas
urer of the Terrell county dispensary.
The dispensary board was in session,
but at the time The News went to press
the resignation had not been acted
upon and no successor to Judge Rob
erts had been elected.
The act creating the Terrell county
dispensary made the ordinary of the
county treasurer of that institution,
and Judge Roberts has discharged the
duties of the position since that time
He desired to be relieved of this work,
however, as it, in connection with his
duties as ordinary, had become too
great tax upon him, and at the last
session of the Legislature the dispense
ry law was amended so as to permit
the commissioners to elect treasurer
and fix his compensation.
Judge Roberts has been a very val
liable aid to the board in conducting
the affairs of the dispensary.

A CARD FROM DIR. CHEATHAM.
COrrects an Error Made in Statement
About Water Rates.

EDITOR NEWS: In my statement to
you in regard to the contract with the
Waterworks company, l made an
error by saying the water company
under their original contract with the
city could not charge more than 25
cents per 1000 gallons, whereas the
contract reads IS cents per 100 cubic
feet, which is about $50 gallons. |
was misled in this statement by our
present individual contracts reading
25 cents per 1000 gallons.
1 have, always been ready to carry
out my part of the contract, and l
shall insist on the water company
complying with theirs. When the
water company forces a consumer to
sign a contract for more than the
schedule of charges in the original
contract they forfeit all their rights.
