Cling with the problem Of how much
profit contractor should make on q

Because it appeared that Contractor
Wilson would make too much money
on an electrolytic sewage disposal plant
for Druid Hills. the sewer committee of
council turned down his bid yesterday
and referred the whole matter TO the
councilman for investigation.
For three years Mr.. Wilson has per
sistentIy endeavored to sell the city one
of the patent plants. The Druid Hills
Company has turned over to the city
$50, 600 for a sewage disposal plant
The sewer committee decided some time
ago to give Mr. Wilson a chance if he
properly would safeguard the city with

Chief Of Construction Clayton esti-
mated that the cost of the plant would
be $4,000. MIR. Wilson's estimate is
that it would be $225O0. 1t was esti-

James Bailey and Oscar Forrest,

In the Atlanta Tower, are locked in
side their cells today after a daring
attempt to break jail instead of hav-

Night Jailer Gilliland had not hap

discovered.
Through a window on the fifth floor
n the south wing, squeezing out of a
narrow opening made by the cutting Of
one bar, the two men climbed down a
slender cord TO the court yard below.
They we're ready to scale the wall sur
rounding the yard when Gilliland, MAX
ing his rounds, happened to look out
Of the window.
He saw Forrest in the court yard,
seized his pistol and ran down the
stairs. When he called on the moon
sinner to surrender, he showed fight for
moment, but the sight of the jailer's
revolver made him take a second
thought and sulenly went back to his
cell.
