GEO. H. FIELDS.
Former Americus Citi-
zen, Now Of Balm
bridge, Recognized

BAINBRIDE, Nov. 2.-0ne of the
five out of $4,000 Masons in Geor-
gia to be distinctly honored when the
medal for distinguished service was
awarded by the Grand Lodge of
Georgia in session in Macon last
week was George H. Fields, promi-
nent citizen of cambridge, and For
merly of Americas.
A committee, consisting of the
present grand Officers and the past
grand masters were assigned the
duty of choosing from all the sixty
odd thousand Masons in Georgia five
who were most prominent in serv-
ice for the purpose of awarding them
medals of service.
Mr.. Fields career in Masonry is
one of interest as well as continued
activity. At the ago of 81, while still
in his home town Of Abingdon, Va,
IN 1881, he became a Master Mason,
and was shortly afterwards elected
Worshipful Master, serving in that
nigh capacity at the age of p years.
Mr.. Fields then moved to Americas,
Ga. where he served as Worshipful
Master of the NJ. B. Council Lodge
No. 95 for years He also served
for time as High Priest Of the Am
CIRCUS Chapter r. A. Masons and
was twice Illustrious Master of Cults
Council No. "a, R. & S. N. He was
also Eminent Commander Of DEMO
lay Commandery No. 5, Americas for
A years. He was also Grand Stand
ard Bearer of the Grand Command
cry of Georgia in 190l-02.
Moving to cambridge in 1904,
Mr.. Fields did not let his love for
Masonry wane one trihe, but on the
other hand, his enthusiasm served as
an impetus to one of the oldest LODI
ges in the state, resulting in great
progress and interest in Orion Lodge
No. s, of cambridge.
Mr.. Fields has served ten consecu-
tive years as Master of. Orion Lodge
here and still retains that office. He
is a Past High Priest in cambridge
Chapter No. "a, R. A. M, Past Illus
trious Master in the George H. Fields
Council No. 80, R. & S. NJ, Past
Eminent Commander, Crusader Com
mandery No. IT, cambridge and has
served two terms as Grand Steward
of the Grand Lodge of Georgia.
Mr. Fields is probably one of the
best known men in Masonic circles
in Georgia today. His reputation of
conducting lodge with decorum is
so we'll known that other recognized
leaders in Masonry have travelled for
miles to witness his work. Mr.. Fields
is responsible for the keen interest
in, and the love of Masonry in De-
catur county today.

Wiped Out Old Debt.

which is left in the hands of county
officers.
Wiped Out Old Debt.
In spite of these restrictions, dur
ing the first two years under the
city manager plan, Springfield wiped
out all her old floating debt handed
down from the previous administra-
ton, reduced the tax rate from $3.50
ped S100 to $1.30, motorized her fire
department, made one-third of all
the street and sewer improvements
ever installed in the history of the
city, established the eight-hour day
for city laborers, spent more money
for outdoor relief and Fairgrounds
than ever before, improved street
lighting, whose efficiency was in
creased more than 800 per cent,
while the cost was reduced "a per
cent; increased the revenue of the
water department $40, 799, while in
creasing the operating expense
$270, and reduced the total operat-
ing expense of the city II per cent.
The first year of the war caused
an operating deficit of $31, 900,
which 1918 increased to about
$4,000. Last year, however, this
was kept down to $31, 900, which is
considered a real achievement, since
the receipts from liquor taxes were
reduced three-ffths and salaries and
wages were materially increased
Modern accounting and purchasing
systems which have been installed
account for part of the savings
effected.
A large amount of paving was
done during 1919 at saving of 50
per square yard made by using re-
dressed Medina blocks instead of
purchasing new granite blocks. Five
miles of sewer and three miles of
sidewalk were constructed. Threel
thousand feet of 30-inch sewer, on
which no bids could be secured, were
completed by the city itself under
"free account"
A $4,000 extension of Spring
fields water supply system was be-
gun last September, and when COM
pleted will furnish an adequate sup
ply for many years.
1000 New Meters.
In the past the water system has
received about so per cent of its in
come from metered services, which |
accounted for but about 40 per cent
Of the water pumped, indicating too
large consumntion by the unmeter-
ed customers. Consequently in 1919
The fiat rates were increased about
30 per cent with the result that some
900 new meters were Immediately
purchased, to the city's advantage.
A free venereal clinic has been es
,ablished by the health department
and through cooperation with local
three additional well
ARE nurses have been employed.
These are some of the accomplish
nents Of Springfield during its first
i've years under the city manager
Ian.
