Of the cost of these new roads, each

county pays the balance. Mount Pleas

GOOD ROADS IN GEORGIA.

Between Atlanta and Washington

Talk Of Seven Hundred Mile Road
Between Atlanta and Washington.
The Good Roads club Of Georgia has
started movement for the construc-
ton of an improved highway between
Atlanta and Washington. about 700
miles. The plan is that each Of the
counties in the different states should
agree to maintain the highway after 1t
has been completed The rapid spread
Of interest in automobiles has aroused
the Georgia men to the urgent need Of
lieye that an improved highway from
Atlanta to the national capital would
give great impetus to the good roads
movement all over the south.
1t has been suggested by the project
crs Of the proposed highway that the
authorities Of each G. unity agree to
round up. roll and ditch one Of the cS-
isting connecting roads from border to
border and improve it with 4 macat!:im
surface us soon as possible. 1t is be-
lieved that this plan can be carried ont
SO that motorists will be able to travel
over continuous stretch Of fairly
good roads by the middle of the com
ing summer. 1t IS suggested that the
dirt roads which must be Included In
the highway be kept in condition by
using split log drags similar to the one
devised by D. Ward King Of Missouri
The farmers Of Georgia are just as en-
thusiastic over the plan as the auto.
mnbilistS of the state.

Circular Storms.

Meteorologists are now agreed that
what are called circular storms are not
circular In the proper sense of the
word. There is not merely flow Of
air round, but also conveyance to-
ward a central area. There Is also
large upflow over and near the central
area and also an outflow above and a
descent probably in the outskirts Of the
storm area; hence the motion Is sue
cessively complicated. 1t Is also very
variable, as squalls and gusts OF the
most violent character may alternate
with strong but less destructive winds;
also In the cyclonic storms Of the tenn
perate regions of the northern hemi-
sphere the winds in the same quadrant
Of cyclonic storm and from the same

cent proceedings ID regard 10 LulS question
tn those of two years ago, when as already
entioned, the Excise duty was fixed.
What was lone on that occasion
We find the answer in the official re-
TT published in the Avis of 26 June
OF, from which we quote the following:
The Chairman said, that before pro
oeeding on the matter itself, he buld
under reference to Is of the Rules Of
Business, point out that there are 2 of
the Members here present who have
personal interests in this question, viz
I'D Grown Member (Conrau) aud 3 4
Member for Christiausted (Pretto); the
Chairman took it for granted that the
Council had no objections against those
two Memb8rs remlining in the COun-
ell during the discussions, in ca4o any
special information wore needed, bat
that when the voting comes on, those
2 Members would have to yacate their
seats temporarily.
''2nd Grown Member (C0nra0 said il
must surely be owing to a mistake.
when it is supposed that he has any
personal interest in the prices Of Rum
or the excise thereon; Government has
given q Syndicate in Frederiksted u
License to sell Ram for the benefit of a
Samaritan Institution, and for the ben
eft OF the public; he (Conraul puts his
honour in being one of the Syndicate
conducting the business, bat personal
interests of uny kind that could in1u-
ence his vote in regard to this ques-
ton, he has not. There is therefore
no consideration whatever that could
necessitate his Withdrawal when this
matter comes to the vote.
'e3rdMemberf for Christians PrettO)
said, as R~umshopkeeper he must un-
avoidably have an interest il the matter,
and would therefore leave when the
voting comes ON.
"The Chairman said that he thought
it stands to reason, that as the honour
able Crownmember (Conrau) has, as
admitted by him, the control etc. of q
Rumshop, even if it be only for the be-
ueft of others. then the honorable
Member must certainly have interest in
the rate in which the Excise duty is
fixed. The Bird Member (Pretto) has
no objections to retire, but as regards
End Orownmember (Oonrau), who de-
murs, it will be necessary to put before
the Council in accordance VITA Rules
of Business 5 Is, the question
whether 2ud Orownmom Der (Conrau(
shall yacate his seat in the Council
when the question of the amount Of
Excise Duty on Rum comes to the vote
81 tho Council.
There were 8 votes against End
Grown Member (Conrau) remaining in
Council and 5 votes for his remaining;
Conrau abstained from voting.

Communication will 60 to Government.

We see. then, that in two meetings OF
virtually the same Council, with the same
Chairman, only two years apart, quite OPP
posite views were advanced on the point IN
question. Do we mean to reproach any
one with this ? Certainly not. If the
Chairman found reason to change his view OF
the matter he had an undoubted right to do so,
and if Member Pretto found it right to yield
on the first occasion and right to hold out
on the second occasion nobody can object.
Our object in calling attention to the mat
ser is something quite different.
We are looking forwards rather than back
wards. We remember that before the pres
ent financial year expires, the Council will
again have to decide what the Excise Duty
shall be for the following three years, and 1T
seems to Us of very great Importance that
the recent proceedings should not be accept
ed as "a precedent. We find the proper
precedent in the decision of Tune 1907
when the excise was fixed, and when the
personally interested parties did not vote'
It is solely in the hope Of seeing this pre-
cedent followed on the next occasion WREN
the excise is fixed, that we have called
attention to it.

duty is to be charged is fl ed within the
