NEW ALDERMEN AND MAYOR TO

fourth time. Major Victor 3. Atkins
will tomorrow night havs administer
ed to him the oath of ONCE as mayor
of Selma. II has been many years
II ever before, that the voters OF sell
ma have so signaIly honored efti-
zen and that their confidence has not
been misplaced. has been shown dur
ing the years of his previous admin
istrations
During the years that he has serv-
ed as mayor of Selma, Major Atkins
has seen some OF his fondest hopes
realized. When he took the helm OF
the city government some years ago.
Selma was little better than Q town.
When he takes his oath of ONCE for
bis fourth term, Selma can be classed
an a city In every respect, one which
is growing fast and whose growth IL
most substantial one.
In the first years that he served
VS. mayor OF Selma, Major Atkins ad-
vocated the city ownership Of the
water, and lighting plants. Upon this
matter he worked as few placed In
his position would have worked and
a few years ago through his untiring
efforts the city of Selma became the
owner Of her own water plant The
people deemed II best for Selma not
TO own the lighting plant. so that
matter was dropped. When the water
plant was owned by private individu-
ais 1t paid dividends and since II has
been the property Of Selma .it has
proved paying branch Of the city
government. st
After seeing the city become the
owner of the water plant Major At
kins took UP the question Of the paw
Ing Of the streets Of the city. This
hope has also been realized by him in
the seeing OF this important work well
under Roadway and which, perhaps.
will not be discontinued during his
Ginning administration, and which IL
being pushed forward rapidly.
During the years that he has serv-
ed the people of Selma as mayor. he
has also been instrumental in the
adaptation of many other measures
which have proven good for the citi-
gems and for the growth of the city.
The same course that he has adopted
during the previous years that he has
served as mayor of Selma will guide
his actions through his incoming ad-
fninistration and at the expiration of
his term Selma will be the better for
his serving.
With Mayor Atkins tomorrow night.

council will also take their oath of
