the council, fl it keeps up at the present rate, might as well be known as a board of complaints and petitions instead of a Board of Aldermen.
 One matter that attracted considerable attention was the statement made by Un dertaker Kennedy. in which he stated that he had buried more people than the city physician had reported as dying dur ing the month of January. It is under stood that Dr. George Waller did not like the statement at all, and he took the mat ter up with MT Kennedy today. It is not known what will come of it, but at the present time it apepars to be pretty badly mixed up.
 With regard to the statement made by MT Mitchell about the special water con tracts that he said he had been informed were held by several of the aldermen, John r, Gammon superintendent of the plant in this city. stated this afternoon that there were several of the so-called special contracts in the city, but he sight ed one instance where party that had had special contract ever since Janu- ary, 1906. had saved just 60 cents during the two years that it has been in force.

BELL SYSTEM
 FOR SAVANNA
Purchase of Georgia Tele- phone Company Solves
 Amazing Problem
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 Savannah, Ga, February 13.-(Spe- cial. .J-The order of the state railroad commission auth orizing the purchase of the Georgia Telephone company of Sa- vannah by the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company was the final step in the efforts to give this city one telephone system
 Negotiations for the purchase of the Georgia company by the Southern Bell company had been pending for some time, having crystallized from a strong public sentiment which favored only one telephone system. Business men and merchants had petitioned both com panies to effect some arrangement whereby Savannah would have only one teleph one system, and negotiations were entered into by representatives of the two companies.
 The two companies reach ed an agree ment several weeks ago whereby the Bell company would purchase the phys ical property of the Georgia company and discontinue the exchange, ser wing ali patrons from the Southern Bell ex- change, provided the arrangement met the approval of the public generally, the mayor and board of aldermen and the state railroad commission.
 The necessary ordinances were in- troduced in council and were accom- panied by petitions by the leading mer- chants, bank CTS, railroads, steamship lines and the chamber of commerce, re- duesting that council ratify the deal. Council unanimously passed the ordi- nances and also resolution requesting the state railroad commission to au- thorize tho purchase of the Georgia company by the Bell company and dis continuance of business by the Georgia company.
 The rates to be charged are practi- cally the same as charged by the Bell company in other cities of similar size, and a certified copy of the agree ment with the city was filed with the railroad commission.
 Practically all the former subscrib- CTS to the Georgia company will take Bell telephones, and the business men and merchants who have heretofore used both systems will not now be an- noyed with two different telephones operating through separate systems, and the cost will be considerably less for one telephone than it was for two.
 With the action of the railroad com- mission yesterday all that now re- mains to be done is for the Georgia company to turn it's property over to Bell company and receive in money the i price agreed upon.

ANOTHER FALSE ALARM

Bessemer, February 19.-(Special)- )-1t is understood that from this time one any citizen who is desirous of roasting the City Council or the government shall be required to put his complaint in writing and present 1T to the clerk to be read. After 1t is read the citizen who presents t can then get up and explain anything in conneenon with t that might be neees- sary.
 It is believed that this will be good thing for the council and every one in general, since it seems to be the universal opinion that lhe council has more argu- ments than most anything else, and when they are concluded every one is too tired to transact much business. The council kept in session last night from s to Il o'clock. and it was certainly hard mat ter for them to get down to business.
