SEEKS TO ESTABLISH
COMMISSION AT ONCE
Water Works Will Be Put
in Its Charge
Preparatory to Further
Move for Municipal
Lighting Plant.

If Alderman Aliens plans go
through, and there is apparently no
reason to believe that they will not,
the Americus Water Works will soon
be taken out of the hands of the City
Council and put under the charge of
commission.
Alderman Allen brought the matter
up at the last meeting of Council on
Wednesday night.
The alderman stated that he was
more than convinced of the advisa-
bility of the city putting in it's own
lighting plant The Council, he sad.
was committed to such policy, and tc
the establishment of a commission that
would have entire charge of the plant.
But he did not see that there was any
necessity of waiting for the erection
of the lighting plant before the crea-
ton of a commission. The Water
Works were owned by the city, and
they, too, should be transferred to a
commission. This commission should
be created as quickly as possible, the
water works transferred to its control
and then when the lighting plant came
it would likewise go under the COM
missions jurisdiction.
After expressing his views along
this line Alderman Allen moved that
the city attorney be instructed to
prepare a written report, to be pre-
sented at the next meeting of the
Council stating whether Council could
create such. a commission by resolu-
ton or ordinance or if it would be
necessary to secure the passage of a
bill through the legislature creating
the commission.
The resolution was adopted and at
the next meeting City Attorney Lane
will advise Council as to the course it
is necessary for it to pursue 1t is
understood that in any event legisla-
ton viii be sought in order to ensure
the permanence of the commission
that it is sought to establish.

DOG QUESTION AN ISSUE
IN CAMPAIGN IN STATE
Dollar Tax is Being Resisted By
Poodle Owners.

Americus dog owners are interest
ed in the enforcement of the state
tax on poodles, pointers and like pets,
which bids fair to become an issue in
the state campaigns, according to all
accounts. Tax collectors are writing
the controller general about it, telling
him their troubles and asking what
they must do. One tax collector
wrote asking for a letter of positive
instructions as he anticipated some
trouble in getting dog owners to
make the return. He wants to know
what he is to do. The law provides
that the unreturned dog is to be levied
on and sold. If he does not bring
enough to pay the tax he is to be
killed But the manner of the exc
cution is not set forth.

MAYOR AND AID. ALLEN
HAVE ANOTHER SPAI
Things Looked SquaIIy in
Council Meeting.
All Over the Unpaid Bill
for Municipal Light
ing Plant.

The treasury of the Southern Print
ers Company is still minus the $14 the
city owes it for printing the pamphlet
| containing the specifications for the
| proposed municipal lighting plant.
The bill came up before Council
again on Wednesday night, a sort of
first annual anniversary re-appear-
ance Of the bill, as it were, and pro-
voked a lively disturbance. The
waters were considerably ruffled, the
temperature went up ten to twenty
degrees, and the spectators were al
most on tip-toes awaiting for a sensa-
tional denouement
The bill was put in along with the
other regular bills. When the reading
of them was completed the Mayor
quietly took that of the Southern
Printers, laid it aside, and quietly re,
marked: This one will not be paid
Alderman Allen was on his feet IN
moment with an angry countenance
and war in his voice
This bill is just one, your honor"
said the thoroughly aroused alderman.
THE work was honestly done and that
bill should be paid / made that bill
as chairman of the lighting commit
tee, acting under authority of Council
and | insist that it be paid. These
people have been kept out of their
money for more than a year. 1t is an
outrage"
THE city has no right to pay such
i'll. The court has SO ruled" quiet
ly remarked the Mayor.
The court has not so ruled" said
Alderman Allen 81 know of no such
opinion; there has been no such
opinion"
"Oh, yes there has" said the Mayor.
Il insist that | be not interrupted
in this fashion, emphatically insisted
Alderman Allen. q remind you of the
.ru-es of Council that say an alderman
shall not be Interrupted when speak
ing have the floor, and | don't in
tend that you shall interrupt me in
this fashion"
The alderman's face was flushed.
the mayors face was a little strained
looking. Everybody wondered what
was coming next
Il rule you out of order" said the
Mayor
Il appeal from such a ruling"
The appeal was put to the vote Of
Council. That body overruled the
Mayor probably unanimously. But
Alderman Bolton quietly added as the
vote was uttered, But l want the ar
gument to be in d respectful manner"
Alderman Allen flushed even a
deeper red at this. Il am always
courteous" be declared, courteous
to everyone; that is my desire; but
wish my rights as alderman to be pro-
tected."
Alderman Allen then made warm
plea for the payment of the bill. II
the mayor would not sign the bill, then
he declared, he would appeal to Coun-
Gil to order it paid without regard so
the mayor.
But suppose they do sustain your
appeal said the mayor, Il will re-
fuse to let the bill be paid. What VIII
you do them"
IF the printers do not sue the city
I will pay the bill myself" declared
the alderman. What they should do
is to sue and make you pay it."
The bill is still unpaid. 1t will come
up again, of course, and then there
will be more discussion. 1t is good
for quite a number of newspaper
stories yet, apparently.
