Hall Charter Bill Amended

MACON. Ca, Aug. 13.-That much-talk-
ed-of j. H. Hall charter amendment bill
which is now in the hands of Governor
Brown. ready to be signed. instead of be-
ing a victory for the person who introduc-
ed 1t is anything but that. The bill was so
cut up and amended that it lost its origi-
nal appearance and in reality it increases
the powers of the police court recorder In
stead of limiting them. 1t Is true that
in the future the recoruer can fine no
one $500 but he may fine them $500 ana
at the same time give them both chain
gang and a police station sentence.
The one point asked for in Mr.. Halls
original bill which was granted, will have
the effect of keeping the Poplar street
park open. When this park is open all
the farmers who come to the city have
a right to use it as q wagon yard and
gives a very provincial touch to that part
of town. In the interests of a better
looking city the aldermanic board wanted
ito keep. 1T closed and did so for several
months Then an Injunction was secured
and 1t is still pending in the court. The
wording of the bill Is not believed 10 be
any too secure and a technicality may
yet be found that will render that clause
of no real use. r.;
The Macon people who. opposed the en-
tire bill feel elated over its outcome and
words of praise are being heard on all
sides for Senator Rutherford who propos-
ed the amendment which was finally
adopted by the senate, the house concur
ring.

There was no use In complaining; her
