So large has been the purchasing movement in
this area Of the island since the beginning Of the
year that it has formed principal feature OF the

SCORE IN THIRD GAME

Hard Knot
Tied two, lost one.


The Champs tied up with the Ce-
dartown visitors again yesterday af-
ternoon with three runs each. In the
fifth it looked like easy money for the
Champs, but in the eighth the visitors
tied it up so hard that neither side
was able to do anything in the follow
ing two innings.
1t was certainly a case of hard luck
for Wilson, who did as much as one
man could be expected to do to win
his game.
1t was in the fifth inning, after By
mum and Peddy had each hit for safe
ties, Peddy going on to second and
Bynum to third on center fielder's
failure to connect with the ball, when
the visitors put Landrum, he of the
no-hit game of Monday, in the box.
Wilson at the bat looked them over.

double play with the assistance Of
Wheatley, stumbling and turning a
somersault in the act of latching onto

With the score to 1 in the fifth It
looked almost too good to tell.
However, in the eighth Burgess pull

WILL THE MAYOR
PAY THE BILL?
SAYS Will First Look Into
Its Legality
Aid. Allen and Clark
Assure Him 1t Is
Legal

I The proposed municipal lighting
plant cropped out again at the meet
ing of the City Council last night, but
| this time in different way from at
any previous meeting. 4 small print
ing bill was the occasion this time
for small debate, not marked by any
hot talk, but merely indicative of the
fact that the lines are still tightly
drawn
The bills had been read by Clerk
Hawkes.
Isn't there another bill that you
haven't read?" asked Alderman Allen.
No. was the clerks reply. The
bill you refer to has not been handed
to me-"
There was a pause. Then Alderman
Eldridge, chairman of the Finance
Committee, arose.
There is a bill here of the South
ern Printers for $14 for printing fifty
plans and specifications for munich
pal lighting plant, said Alderman Ell
bridge, which | have not signed"
THE city authorized the lighting
committee to do this work." said AL
derman Allen, "and the bill is in ac-
cordance with it's instructions. The
work was done satisfactorily by the
printers and the bill should be paid"
Il may be wrong" answered Chair
man Eldridge, "but I don't think we
should pay this bill. l doubt it's le-
gality"
Alderman Allen: Il move that the
bill be paid"
Alderman Eldridge: q decline to
sign it, but the second on the COM
mittee can sign it if he DESIRES"
The bill was handed to Alderman
Hawkins, who promptly affixed his
signature.
Council then pasYsed the bill with
Alderman Eldridgs dissenting.
Then came Mayor Felder's inning.
Il won't say fhat 1 will not sign this
bill" said the/mayor. but I will take
'iiiie " 100 into its legality and on
that will depend my action"
1T ~ perfectly legal, your honor"
said Alderman Allen
perhaps So said the mayor, with a
smile, but I prefer to get the advice
of some other lawyer than you"
There is no question as to it's le-
gality," added Alderman Clarke.
1T was directed by Council before
there was any Injunction" said Alder
man Allen.
But the mayor adhered to his deter
mination to get legal advice before he
would sign the bill and permit its pay
ment.
No bill has ever been presented by
Engineer Davis, who drew the plans
for the proposed plant, and made two
or more trips to Americus for that
purpose. Whatever action the mayor
takes in the matter of the small print
ing bill may govern him in regard to
the large bill whenever it comes be-
fore Council.
The mayor did not say whether he
would take the City Attorneys advice
Or secure that of some other lawyer.
