 The rapid expansion in commerce and industry in the last 10 years has been natural, but the economic side of the question has been lost sight of, and there has been a growing tendency to extrav- agance.

Athens, March 5.-(SpeciaI)-At a meeting of the city council last night a strong resolution was adopted by the council urging the representative from this county and asking all other repre- sentatives to support the bill now before the legislature increasing the size of the city limits of Athens, taking into the cor porate limits more than 1000 people. These people all enjoy all the benefits of the town and contribute nothing in the way of taxes toward it's support. They even have the benefits of the city schools and yet contribute nothing to their support This additional territory would add very much to the financial income of the town and would also give to the outlying dis trict police protection. The bill is now pending before the legislature, having been introduced at the suggestion and by the request of Mayor Wall and his of- ficial board, Hector D.

Issue Rnnds

1t was decided at a meeting or the city council of Athens to issue bonds for the building of concrete pavements over the towns most prominent streets, and bids will be received at once for their con- struction. Prominent brokers have agreed to take these bonds at par, as they will bear per cent interest. and the work will be paid for as rapidly as completed. This will be paid by the abutting prop erty owners by a 10-year tax unless the property owner desires to pay cash and save the expense of interest. The coun- cl is also seeking bids for the paving of the public square. This will add very much to the looks as well as to the pro- tection of the streets surrounding ,.ie court square.
