WILL AWARD BID ON
NOVEMBER 5
School Committee Will Then
Decide on Contract.

On Friday, November ), bids for
the erection of the new High School
building for Americus will be opened
at the office of the Board of Education
and the contract will then be award
ed
Today the Building Committee be-
gins advertising for bids, which will
be received until o'clock on the af-
ternoon of Thursday, November A.
Plans and specifications will be
available to prospective bidders at
the office of Architect Lockwood, in
Columbus, and the office of Superin-
tendent of Schools Miller in this city.
II is the impression that there will
be some spirited bidding for the con-
tract. Whoever the winner is he will
be expected to begin work as quickly
as possible, as the school authorities
do not wish any more time lost. While
it is hardly probable now, after so
great a loss of time in the prelimina-
hhCS' IioI lllS b1tllul1S can DE conf
pleted in time to make use of it dur
ing the present school year, the Off
cials prefer for work to be pushed
along so that there will be no possi-
bility of any failure on the part of the
contractors to have it ready for the
next school year. If it should be fin
ished before the school year ends next
June it is probable that it would be
occupied at once.
The new building will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000, Some minor
changes have, been made in the speci-
fications, the building committee put
ting much time in a careful study Of
the plans, with a view to remedying
any possible defects before construc-
tion is begun
The additional school facilities are
badly needed and it will be a great re-
lief to the school system when the
building is in readiness for use. Work
is being carried on under many dis
advantages this year in some of the
grades, particularly the lower ones.
After this year there will be no cause
for complaint and the children will be
handled with much greater satisfac-
tion and comfort and probably with
decidedly better results in their
studies

FROM OFFICE TO ATTIC
A FORCE Will MARCH
In Improvement of Hotel
Property,

Beginning at the slate roof high
above the fifth floor aud continuing
the work of Improvement down to the
concrete pavements snrroundfae il.
the Windsor Hotel will be renovated
from top TO bottom. literally to the
end of the making of it one of the
most modern and up-to-date hostel
ries in the entire state.
This is the plan outlined by Mr.. l..
G. Council, who recently purchased
that splendid property, and it will be
his pleasure to make of it a hotel
equal to the best
He has said as much, and what he
says is always to the point.
During recent years the property
was allowed to deteriorate consider
ably, and some time and much expense
will be required to again place it in
high class physical condition. And
Mr.. Council says he will do this.
Slate workers will first go over the
acres of roof and put it in good condi-
tion, preventing all leaks. Plumbers
will put in entirely new plumbing.
while the entire house with its hun
dred rooms, instead a portion of it as
now, will be wired for electric light
ing, an end long desired.
Every portion of the woodwork will
be gone over by painters and decora-
tors, this being the first work done.
A hundred other needed repairs and
improvements will be made.
For the hotel will be a new one.
and even under another name will be
credit to Americus.
The big passenger elevator, which
has not been operated once since the
first week the hotel was opened eigh-
teen years ago, will be given new
life, and patrons will no longer be
required to do mountain climbing and
feats acrobatic in reaching rooms on
the upper floors
Yes" said Mr. Council, the ele-
yator Will run while | own the hotel
The public may count upon that prop
osition."
Mr. Council is highly pleased with
his purchase, despite the necessary
outlay of $4,000 or $4,000 to put il
in the condition required. And its
acquisition by no other man pleases
the general public and the people Of
Americus half so much. They know
what such ownership means.
Already Mr.. Council has received
letters and kilograms from friends in
the state congratulating him upon the
ownership of this splendid property in
Americus.

HALFN MEASURES
WILL NOT Do FOR
PEARL HARBOR

The Washington Star, which is gen
orally credited with being close to the
government in more ways than one,
contains in it's issue of November 10,
the following editorial of immense in
terest locally:
The Presidents decision that Pearl
Harbor in the Hawaiian islands shall
be the chief naval base of the United
States in the Pacific finally puts in
the way of execution a plan the found
ations of which were laid years ago
when the King of Hawaii presented
this valuable concession to the United
States. Long before the annexation
of the islands efforts were made to Sc
cure from Congress appropriations for
the improvement of Pearl Harbor and
its equipment as a naval station. but
without success. The arguments then
advanced by the advocates of a well
equipped naval outpost in the Pacific
involved a contemplation of the very
conditions which arose during the
war of 1898 when our battleships,
cruisers and transports were plying
the Pacific waters between the con-
tinental base and the Philippines 1t
would have seemed that that demon
stration would be sufficient and that
the development of Pearl Harbor as
the central Pacific base would promptly
follow the close of hostilities. But it
has remained until now for a final
decision to be reached to this effect.
In many respects the United States
has neglected Hawaii since the an
nexation, but more serious charges
against the federal government has
been that it has neglected it's own in
in the islands. Circumstances
have given to this country an i'm
valuable outpost in this archi-
pelago for the possession of which in
case of war between the United States
and any other power a mighty strug-
gle would Immediately ensue. Or
binary precaution suggests that the
American navy should have at Pearl |
Harbor base of operations from which |
Z can move in any direction, for the
defense of the mainland, for the sup
port of the distant insular possessions
)r for purposes of attack
Already beginning has been made
1t Pearl Harbor where a large drydock
s being constructed and provisions
lave been made for defensive fortif-
'ations in the future. But owing to
difference of opinion on the part OF
laval officers Of high rank there has
'een a doubt as to the wisdom OF
the chief Pacific base at
his point or in the Philippines. The
residents decision has finally been
endered in favor of the more central
'osition on the ground that from the
hawaiian base the navy can be main
aimed for purposes of mainland de-
ense as well as insular protection.
This conclusion having finally been
cached it should De the policy of the
overnment to proceed vigorously with
he development of Pearl Harbor as the
lost parfectly equipped and securely
ortiied naval base in the world. Half
ray measures are futile and costly.

of an effective outpost
