Crazy Street Clocks
Nuisance That Must
Go, Councilmen Rule

when is a clock not a cIock?" asked
the man.
When it doesn't tell time, promptly
pped the city council
The street committee Of that ancient
and honorable parliamentary institu-
ton met in session yesterday afternoon
and discussed in tones of gravity the
fact that certain well known clocks
about town were not keeping the proper
time There was one for instance,
which said quarter to one when it was
one and a quarter while another kept
its fingers pointed at high noon all day
long.
The committee decided that clock
which kept improper time should be re-
moved from the streets or yelled from
public gaze Such a clock was nui-
sance, was entirely out of harmony with
the public peace, and should be elimi-
mated.

New Bids Asked for
Marietta Street Work;
Other Contracts Let

Because only one bid was submitted
for the contract to pave Marietta street
with asphalt and it was above the cost
limit. the streets committee Of council
has decided ask for new bids again
delaying the paving of this street, The
contract will amount to near $4,000.
Owing to a disagreement between the
property owners and city officials as to
the kind of pavement to be used on the
street the work was delayed for many
months. The property owners finally
won their contention for asphalt rather
than any block pavement But the fail
ute of contractors to submit satisfac-
tory bids may cause a change in the
material
Bids were accepted for the pavement
of the following streets:
North avenue. from Peachtree street
to Williams street, with wood blocks
Fourteenth street, between Peachtree
and West Peachtree streets, with bi-
luminous macadam; 81 charles ave
nue.. between Moreland avenue and the
city limits. with bituminous macadam,
and McLendon avenue, between More
land and Mayson avenues,.with hitumi-
