officer in the world war and went

The American people owe a great

IN the trenches on the battiefields of

American uniform is fully aware of the

the Salvation Army is an organiza-

American people.
THE service of the Salvation Army
during the war is but an example of
the noble work these men and women

campaign the Army is to put on at an

You may rest assured that when
ever you find an ex-service man you
find friend of the Salvation Army.
There were several organizations that

COUNCIL REFUSES
REQUEST OF MAYOR
WILL NOT AUTHORIZE EMPLOY
MENT OF SECRET DETECTIVE.
MAY RAISE LIGHT RATES.

The February meeting of the city
council was of more than usual inter
est.
Mayor McNulty requested that he
be authorized, as was done by the
council of last year, to spend such an
amount as he might deem advisable
to employ a man for secret detective
or police work whenever he desired
to do so. The mayors request met
with opposition at once, and when put
to a vote was defeated. Councilmen
Pace, Weaver and Lowrey voted
against it, and Councilmen Dozier
and McLendon voted to give the
money and authority that were re-
quested. Councilman Worthy was
absent, and did not vote.
A matter which affects practically
every family in Dawson was a propo-
sition to increase the light and water
rates of the city because of the in
creased cost of operating the city's
water and light plant. No action
was taken, but City Attorney Marlin
was instructed to investigate as to
what steps it would be necessary to
take to increase the charges to con-
sumers for this service. Mr.. Marlin
wrote to the state railroad commission
in regard to the matter, and that
body replied that it has no jurisdic-
ton over municipal utilities. Mr..
Marlin is looking up the law on the

meeting of the council.
Messrs. W. B. Parks and W. Il:
Locke appeared before the council
and asked that steps be taken look
ing to the installation of white
way before street paving is begun,
so as not to have to disturb the paw
ing to install pipes for the lamps.
Superintendent Peddy of the water
and light plant also was present,
and said the laying of pipes for
white may would not interfere with
the paving in the least.
The salaries of the firemen were
increased from SIS to SIS month,
and now are: For six months of ser
vice $65 per month, after six months
$75 per month and after twelve
months $85. The chief of the de-
partment was allowed in addition to
his salary $500 per month for gas
and oil used in going to and from
his meals and in making inspections
Negro residents presented mum
erously signed petition asking that
the light and water systems be ex-
tended to the outskirts of the city
Not having sufficient funds to make
