THE BIGGEST WE COULD USE.

Senator Tillman once suggested that we in
v~estigate and ascertain exactly how a battleship
we would use, then build it. Therefore, we have
the information at last. An 80,000-ton battleship
mounting fifteen 18-inch guns, having a speed OF
Is knots an hour and costing $50, 000,O 900, would
be the largest war craft United States could en-
ploy, according to a report to Congress prepared
by the navy department in response to a request
for specifications Of the biggest fighting craft that
could use the Panama Canal and American har-
bors. The report says such a vessel would have
a length Of 975 feet, a beam of lO8 feet, a Sec
ondary battery of twenty-one 6-inch guns, four
21-inch torpedo tubes, and a 12-000-mile radius Of
action.
"A single such vessel, however" it adds,
would not be of great value to the United States
navy, as it would not be suited to act in unison
with the other major units of our fleets. To de-
velop the value of such a vessel it would be nee
essary to lay down not less than five"
The European war, the report says, has as
yet brought no conclusive answer to the question
Of what types are most desirable, and the general
board is not prepared to recommend so radical a
departure as the S0,o00-ton ship would represent.
The $25, 900, 900 battleships asked for in the pend
ing naval bill represent the greatest increase in
size and power for battleship types in any sim
gle year, but they are to have a displacement Of
AZ, 900 tons, main batteries Of twelve 16-inch guns,
and a speed Of % knots.

COUNCIL HOLDS FINAL
MEETING OF THE YEAR
YEARLY REPORTS OF THE MANY
DEPARTMENTS PRESENTED
ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

When Moyar Bell called for order
at 1880 Saturday night the entire
council with the exception Of the late
! Mr.. Hamilton was present Messrs.
+ Dean, McLendon, Davidson, Morris
and Mathis.
After the minutes of the former
j meeting had been adopted the propo-
sition of a passenger shed at the Cen
/ trail of Georgia station was opened
/ and it was found that Mr.. Flynn, the
| local agent, had the proposition be-
| fore the proper authorities and was
| waiting for report.
Nothing had been accomplished
concerning the chamber of commerce
idea on account of the unsettled con-
ditions of the holidays. However,
mass meetings are to be called in the
immediate future and some action
taken for the council seemed highly
in favor of such an organization.
The Standard Oil Company was
granted the privilege of placing q
drive-in auto filling station on the va
cant lot on the corner of Main and
Seventh avenue.
Mr.. j. B. Pickett was refunded the
taxes on property of value of $3.50,
given in by him on a house which
was burned in 1915, and on some
notes of the same which had been
paid Also Mr.. J. R. MERGERS debt
of 500 for land bought from the
city was Offset by the same amount
being given him as rent for the city's
dumping ground.
After making quite an appropriate
farewell speech Alderman Mathis
asked that the electric wires be ex-
tended about 1000 feet to his home,
which is on the edge of the city on
the Herod road. This request was
granted.
Following this came the customary
and appropriate farewell speeches of
Mayor Bell, Alderman Dean and City
Attorney Marlin.
Here Mr.. Morris, after mentioning
the earnest service given the city by
the late Councilman K. B. Hamilton,
moved that the proper resolutions be
drawn and proper consideration be
given them. This was unanimously
carried and Messrs. Dean and David
son were appointed to draft the
same. The council of nineteen-six-
teen then adjourned by wishing much
success to their successors.
Below are found the yearly re-
ports of the several departments with
the exception of the health which was
made verbally.
Chairman Dean of this committee
showed by statistics the results Of the
healthful and sanitary conditions Of
the community. With population
Of approximately two thousand
whites and only fourteen deaths a
percentage of seventh-tenths of one
per cent. Chairman Dean mentioned
the fact too that no children have
died this year.
