the 100000 Agricultural College at
Athens will to all intent and purpos-
es be decided at a meeting of the
Senate Committee on General Agri-
culture on Wednesday, when that

elect Dudley M. Hughes, it is under
stood, will be present to make a plea
for the passage of the bill
These colleges are supported solely
from the funds ACQUIRING from the
sale of fertilizer tags. At the present
price this is not enough to support
the schools, and unless more funds
are raised the schools will have to be
closed and cannot open in September.
1t is stated that there will be op-
position to the bill and a great de-
bate on the subject is expected The
bill has already passed the House and

Report of City Engineer.

From the vOluminOus but explicit
report of City Engineer Poe, covering
both the streets and water depart
department. is given a clear insight
into that very important part of the
city's main utilities, more especially
that of the water department.
Something like $4,000 was expend-
ed during the past twelve months in
street improvement, and the result is
that Americus has fine streets and
well paved walks.
During the year there was a total
of 215,588,471 gallons of water pump
ed for the city at a cost of .377 cts
per thousand gallons.
The expenditures in the water de-
partment total $17,324 Cash collect
ed from consumers totaled $13,285,
while free water for the city, for
churches and charities, is charged to
expense at 1925. The total credit to
the department is $23,S99
The net amount thus credited is
$6,565.
OF water consumers 231 have met
ers while 672 have a flat rate; a to-
tai of 9O3 consumers. The use of
meters is recommended in all instanc-
es where motors are in service for
supplying power, etc.
The expense account herein given
includes the cost of boring the last
artesian well-$6,609 This well has
a depth of $50 feet and a flow of 25O
gallons per minute, or 100000 gal
Ions daily. The city owns four fine
arteSian wells.

covers in detail every matter of i'm
