PAVING HAS Been PRONOUNCED
TO BE IN FIRST CLASS SHAPE
Formally Accepted By the City Yesterday After Thorough
Inspection Had Been Made. Only Few and Slight
Defects We're Found

Accompanied by Mr.. r. NJ. Hudson.
who has supervised the work here for
the paving contractors, Mayor Mathis,
City Engineer Ansley and Assistant
City Engineer Klyce yesterday made
careful inspection of the entire new
ly paved street area 1t was pro-
nounced satisfactory by the city Off
cials and was formally accepted by
them.
All the paved streets of the city
We're included in the inspection tour
that was made by the city officials.
The main Irregularities found were
those on the block of paving along
Lamar street in front of the postoffice
and the Windsor Hotel. This, it was
said, could be readily and satisfacto-
rily remedied, as the chief cause
trouble is in the joints of the paving
where heavy tar mixture is applied
to allow for the expansion of the
blocks.
1t will be recalled that considerable
trouble was experienced with refer
ence to this portion of the paving
very soon after it had been laid, es-
pecially sections of it near the arte-
sian well and just in front of the ho-
tel entrance. These bulges have al
ready largely disappeared, however,
so that it is believed that the max
ing of this part of the paving thor
'oughly satisfactory will not require
much additional effort. Aside from
the defects just noted, there are a
few others that were discovered, but
they are mainly of minor Importance,
SO that there is no vital objection TO
the pavement, even as it stands at
this time.
Il am we'll pleased with the out
come of the paving work." said Mayor
Mathis in speaking of the results of
the inspection tour. 1.-The work has
been carefully supervised from the
very beginning by the city engineer
and his assistant, and | have the ut
most confidence in their report that
it has been well done. The defects
found seem to be very slight, such, in
deed, as are likely to occur in any
paving work, so that they may read
lily be remedied and will leave no
permanently hurtful effects The peo-
pie of Americus have a just reason to
feel proud of their new pavement"
The work of paving the streets
seems to have been carried out as
well as could have been expected.
said City Engineer Ansley. "A careful
inspection has revealed nothing more
than few minor defects in the pave
ment, which are to be remedied be-
fore the paving contractors are re-
lieved of their responsibility. Every
step in the work has been vigilantly
watched, so that the completed work
should be worthy and first class in
every Particular
Mr.. Hudson, who has been super
intending the work, feels sure that
the city will have no cause to COM
plain of either the material used or
the manner in which the paving has
been laid The work that has been
done here, he said, is first class and
the very best that could be done.

of The Times-RecoFder, the third
candidate for the position has entered
the field. AS was shown in Sundays
issue of The Times Recorder, it seem
ed for a time that there would be a
long delay before the third candidate
entered the arena, but Mr. Borums
announcement makes the trio COM
plete.
AS the entrance of candidates into
the race for commissioner, has been
so slow up to date, it is interesting 10
know if there will be further candi-
dates to contest for the place. The
belief is current that there will be
no other candidates to offer for COM
missioner, and it is also a matter Of
general opinion that the contest for
the office of judge of the City court
will lie between the two candidates
who are now in the field
1t is thoroughly possible, however,
that there may be other candidates
for both places, though it is believ-
ed that this is not probable. But there
are times in the development OF
political fortunes that fool the sagest
observers of political conditions, so
that the predictions made by some
that the candidates have all an
nounced may not prove to be true.
Mr.. R. R. Howe also announced yes
terday for county surveyor, which
gives one candidate in the field for

Silver advanced Friday 20 GCs cents an

Thursdays quotation. Predictions are
heard freely that the present upward
movement has not reached the apex yet
although it is never an easy matter to
properly size up any silver situation. The
clearing house for the worlds silver Is
London, and London decides daily what
tho producer ALL over the world shall re-

day for his metal, and what the con-
sumner the world over must pay for his
metal. The price is supposedly based
upon supply and demand. for each day

Authorities agree that there are Two
known factors accounting for the present

@ethcr n good sized supply OF the metal
in the expectation that the Indian gov
