ture, making the clerk Of council cleo
tive by the people instead of by com

tention in the city, and it will be one
OF the hardest fought local measures
in the legislature in some time.

passage Of the bill have been circula-
ted for The past week and many names
have been added to both of the peti-
tions. In fact almost every Bruns-

ing written to members Of the IagisIa-
ture by those vino favor it as Well as
those who are opposed to it. and a

tion by passing strong resolutions
against the biu which have ALREADY
been forwarded to Atlanta to differ
ent senators and representatives.
Just when the bill viii come up is
not known 1t has not yet been pre-
sented by Representative Lee. In fact

individual and team playing is ex-
pected to develop and a strong ten

up to compete with like agregations

with the gym ought to prove an
attractive feature when old Sol sets
