VETERANS HOPE

Minimum OF 20 Needed For Rich
mond Trip-To Lay Plans
Tuesday

The regular meeting of the veter-
ans of Camp Sumter, U. c. v, will
be held at the court house at 10 a.
m. next Tuesday, it was announced
today by Captain H. D. Watts, who is
the camp commander, at which final
plans for attending the coming Rich
mond reunion will be laid. Captain
Watts desires that all veterans attend
so that it may be determined just
how many of them contemplate MAX
ing the trip.
Captain Watts also desires that
any other persons planning to go to
Richmond notify him at once of the
fact. He has been informed by the
railroad that through Pullman car
may be had for party of 20 or
more, and inasmuch as such an ar
rangement would add vastly to the
comfort and convenience of the vet
Grams on the trip, this is highly de-
sirable. For that reason he desires
all who plan to make the trip to so
inform him.

cd that the money arising from
street taxes, fines, forfeitures and
costs in the recorders court shall
first be applied to the payment of
the current expenses of the city
and if these is deficiency, such
deficiency shall be supplied by the
money raised for the said purpose

pitulation or street tax on all male

porations and businesses as is now
authorized by the city or which

sent of two-thirds of the qualified
voters of the city there may be
levied an additional tax of five

his ticket from the managers of
the election and cast his ballot in
the said booth without interefer-
ence from anyone else. All other
elections are conducted similarly
to those now prevailing.
THE RECALL.
There is division of sentiment
among the committee in respect
to whether there should be a re-
call provision in the charter for
the recall of any of the commits
sloners by petition of twenty
five (25) per cent of the qualified
voters, or as to whether there
should be a recall provided subject
to any petition of any number of
qualified voters. Whether this
provision should be in the char
ter will be a subject for discus
sion at the mass meeting.
1t behooves all of the citizens
of Americus who are interested in
this proposed charter or legislation
to be at the city hall Tuesday night
at O'Clock when a more detailed
account will be given of the pro-
posed bill. All persons should be
free to express themselves as to
the measure as whole, or on any
OF its provisions.
