No Opposition to the Bill.

a bill which will be Introduces at
which convenes this month is of much
interest to Brunswick, inasmuch as
this city is among those in the state
seeking commission form of gov
ernment. A committee is now max
ing an investigation into the posi-
bility of adopting the new form of
government and its report will likely
be sui mitted to council at it's next
meeting

provides that all cities in the state
be given the power to adopt the com
mission form of government, provid-
ed, of course, the people of any mu-
nicipality desires a change

save time to those cities which desire
the new form of government For
instance, if Brunswick should decide
this fall that it wanted to be operat-
ed by commission, then It would be
necessary to wait until the next ses-

time after the passage of the bill be-
fore the new form could be adopted
The same condition, Of course, pre-
walls in all other cities. 1t is not ex-
pected that there will lie any oppo-
sition to the bill, as it does not mean

There are many cities in the state
now on the verge of adopting the
new form of government. or rather
making an investigation into it.
Among these are Atlanta, Savannah,
Macon, Columbus, Brunswick and
Waycross. Atlanta seems to be in
dead earnest and 1t has been predict
ed that a change win be made in the
capital within a year In Brunswick
the special committee appointed by
Mayor Butts some time ago has made
a thorough investigation and is about
ready to report It Is believed that
the committee will recommend a
change.

According to reports from the can

oitionists are not satisfied with the
present prohibition law, which MANY
OF them pronounce as a farce. They
want the law amended so as to make

known as near-beer They claim that
the law now in operation prohibits
only the sale of whiskey and the

the people being able to walk into a
saloon and call for the brand of whis-
Key they want, they purchase any
thlng, and as result, they get the
cheapest kind of whiskey.
Whether or not there will be a pro-
hibition fight remains to be seen. but,
the prohibitionists of the state have
been very active here of late, and
considerable literature has been sent
over the state urging all prohibition
lists to join in the fight to stop the
sale of near.beer.
The more conservative citizen. the
one who is neither a prohititionist
a local optionist or an out and out
whiskey man, is saying let well
enough alone, and is making an eff
fort to prevent fight during the ses-
sion of the legislature.
AS Brunswick was one of the few
wet cities in the state before prohi.
bition, more than ordinary interest
is being taken in the various reports
concerning the probable fight.
