we wanted.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1913-02-13

Every citizen Of Lee county who
is interested in the development Of
the county in every worthy line will
learn with interest that another
power plant for the county has been
discussed recently. The most re-
cent power site to be brought up for
consideration is that Of the old mil!
on Kinehafoonee creek about a mile
west of Leesburg.
At this point the,e ssgmerly stood
a mill, which was operated success
ully for a long time and only fell
into disuse in comparatively recent
years. Even now the remains Of
the dam used for the mill may be
seen at the site of the old mill. The
place selected is an excellent one for
the plant that is proposed.
On the eastern bank OF hlncila-
foonee creek at the place named the
bank is steep, while on the other
side the reverse is true This-same
condition exists for a good distance
up the creek. This is one Of the
STRONGEST arguments advanced fer
the proposed plant in that praeti
cally all the back-water would con-
on the western side Of the creek,
which belongs for a great distance
up the creek to Mr.. E. B. Martin,
sr.. whose proposal it is to make
use Of the water power OF Kincha-
foonee creek at this place, if the.
proper support Of the plan can be
obtained.
According to Mr.. Martin S survey
Of this site for the purpose Of ascer-.
tanning IFS possIplHIles as 10 wafer
power has already been made with
the result that the report of the en-.
gineers indicated the possibility Of
the development Of tremendous
water power if the proper plant were
constructed. This survey was made
some time ago by a party Of en-
gineers from Albany, who pro-
nounced the plan an excellent one,
plan, in fact, which would pay
splendid dividends on the invest
ment.

Monroe Grand Jury Asks LegisIa-
ton to Save COunty's Cash.

Forsyth, Ga, Feb. II. In the
presentments read just before the
adjournment of the February term
Of Monroe superior court, the grand
jury recommended that the coun-
tvs representative introduce a bill
in the MISUNDERSTANDING the city
court, because Of the little litiaa-
ton and few crimes in Monroe
county; that a bill be introduced
prohibiting the sale Of pistols and
pistol cartridges in Monroe county,
and that the act providing for three
commissioners Of roads and reyen-
ues for the county be repealed and
the county's affairs be placed in the
hands of one man.
The grand jury also recommended
that the county authorities exercise
the most rigid economy in the con
duct Of the county's affairs, and
that the tax rate be reduced to 81
per ST 900. The books Of the coun-
ty officials and their records we're
found in excellent shape, as well as
and that the act providing forthree
commissioners ofroads and revenues
for the county be repealed and the
county's affairs be placed in the
hands Of one man.
The grand jury also recommended
that the county authorities exercise

in all probability require large eapi-
tai to complete the plant. The
formation Of stock company to
carry the matter through has been
suggested, # II could be success

citizen Of the county would be
pleased to see such a development

portions.

Is An Americas Albany
Trolley To Be Built?
Rumored That Trolley Line May Be Constructed

Rurnors Of tile construction Of a
trolley line between Americas and
Albany have been revived. Il such
a trolley line were constructed, it
would be Of great value to Lee
county, as it would pass directly
through the heart Of the county.
Tic following clipping is from
the Americas Times-Recorder:
Recently the rumor Of an interur-
ban trolley line from Americas to
Albany has been revived here.
Though nothing more than the ru-
NOR has been heard, it is, neverthe-
less, interesting.
It will be recalled that several
years ago the construction Of such a
line was very generally discussed
here and in Albany. Since then there
has been but little said Of it as a
general thing.
The revival Of the topic recently
has caused much discussion. Accord
ing to this gossip there is a better
chance of securing the trolley line
between Americas and Albany now
than ever, as the project could be
entered into without reference to the
other lines that were formerly plan
ned in conjunction with the local
line.
The rumor that a power plant or
two will be erected in the vicinity Of
Leesburg during the year has given
new life to the discussion of the pro-
posed trolley line here. The Lee
county power plant, if it is construc-
led, according to those who mention
the trolley line, could be calledinto
service to furnish part Of the power
that would be needed. In this man
ner it is thought that the trolley
line could be made more a matter Of
business and less one Of speculation
