The w. w. p. is undoubtedly at
work on scheme to get the
bridge built at the expense of the
public without paying a cent OF
the cost itself. A part of this
scheme is believed to secure this
100000 and the company will use
it's influence in the council to get
the bridge built on its promise to
do something.
With these facts before 1t it is
unlikely the public will vote favor
ably on the proposition to bond
the city. The company evidently
knows this and is trying to have
the council use it's right to bond
the city within certain per cent
of the valuation.
The w. w. P.'s latest scheme in
connection with the Monroe street
bridge and its efforts to wiggle out
of paying a proportion Of the cost
appeared suddenly during the last
few days, coming from no one
seems to know where, and now in
the hands of no one in particular.
1t is a proposition to carry in
terest on 100000 of the bridge
bonds for the balance of the life
of its franchise.
Councilman Baldwin said today
that this matter he understands is
under discussion. Asked II 1t was
under discussion among council
men, he said he did not know, but
that he had knowledge of i. 1t
is safe to say that other council
men have knowledge in like
manner.
The new proposition Council
man Baldwin considers to be a
concession from the original propo-
sition. This was that the w. w. p.
would pay 100000 towards the
cost provided it be granted per-
petual franchise and the city does
not insist on its paying its back
bills for repairs. The matter is
being determined now by suit. The
company's original franchise runs
about 30 years yet.

Another cooling little babe, a girl

CUMSHOE BONDS
If City's Debt Is to Be Increased Let People
Say So in Spring.

The endeavor of certain Inter-
ests to slip through the city coun-
Gil an ordinance bonding the city
for 100000 with which to build
new bridges, is to meet sharp OPP
position from Councilman Baldwin,
who is opposed to bonding the
city in such q manner either to
raise bridge money or money to
take up water warrants.
Mr.. Baldwin said yesterday that
he ia IN favor of waiting until the
spring election. then putting the
matter OF bonding before the peo-
pie and secure their opinion by
ballot.

Interested In the Monroe street
bridge project want to dodge.
There is disposition on the
part of the average taxpayer to
shield the city's credit, especially
in the matter Of building expensive
bridges for streetcar companies.
The city is far enough In debt now.
The tax valuations were raises
by Assessor Galbraith on the sup
position the levy would be CORE

duced materially. Taxes are high
enough. To go farther into debt

rants. 1t will be necessary to
bond the city for 100000 to do
this and make improvements in
the water system. Yet the bridge
bond scheme is stuck on as a rider
to land first.
According to City Engineer Raj
ston's latest plans the Monroe
street bridge can be constructed
Of concrete for $4,000. There Is
still left in the bridge fund about
100000. The city could just as
well use part of this money, and
with the w. w. P. paying just
proportion anT the North Coas,
paying a share, the bridge could be
built without an issue.

Five hundred head of sleek, we'll

shipment of thirty or forty head go
ing few days ago to a south Georgia
town.
The cattle were fattened here,
and in prime condition found quick
sale at good prices.
Mr.. G. w. Riley, general manager
Of the Farmers Oil Co., stated that
only about $50 cattle remained in
the companys pens, and these would
go shortly.
More than six hundred cattle were
thus fattened here.
The Farmers Oil Co. conceived
the idea of buying up hundreds of
lean kline in south Georgia and
Florida, and fattening them here up
on cotton seed hulls and meal, the
best cattle feed in the world, as
everyone will attest.
The company had vast supplies of
meal and hulls at its mills here, and
this was fed layishIy to the hungry
cattle
And the result was gratifying to

BOUNCE The CONDUCTOR
OR STOP HIS SELLING COAL is
WHAT COLUMBUS DEALERS
ASK TO BE DONE.

ATLANTA, Gals it violation
of the interstate commerce law for
railroad conductor to engage in
the coal business and to go on the
road as a coal dealer between runs?
This looks like a question with
out very much sense to it, but it is
a question which the railroad COM
mission of Georgia has referred to
the interstate commerce commission
for an opinion.
A number of coal dealers of Co.
/ lumbus recently made complaint to
the railroad commission that a con-
ductor on the Central of Georgia
Railway, running out of that city,
was engaged in selling coal in COM
petition with them and was travelling
on a pass, which privilege was denied
to their representatives. They con-
sidered it an unjust discrimination
and asked the commission to put a
stop to it.
The commission took the matter
up with the officials of the Central
with the result that they called in the
annual pass which had been given
to the conductor in question because
of his long and faithful service with
the company.
The conductor is still in the SER
vice of the company, but goes out on
the road to sell coal between his runs,
it is said. Now, however, he has to
pay his fare.
There still remained the question,
so the railroad commission consider
ed, as to whether a railroad employe
was forbidden by the interstate COM
MERGE act to engage in business in
competition with others The rail-
road officials did not think there was
any interstate question in it at all,
but the commission, nevertheless,
submitted it to the interstate com
merce commission, from which a re-
/ ply has not yet been received.
