United Baptist
Church to Have Fine
New Pipe Organ

A strong sentiment in favor of the
purchase of a new pipe organ for
the Penney Memorial UAited Baptist
church, crystalized Wednesday
night into an equally strong move
ment in that direction, when a COM
mittee was appointed to investigate
the cost and desirability of various
makes and the 100 members of the
church who were present, voted to
purchase a suitable organ for the
church.
The meeting was held immediate
~ after the usual Wednesday even
ing prayer meeting and was well at
tended. The committee which has
this matter in charge and will re-
port at a later meeting consists of
Charles T. Penney. chairman. RAN
som Palmer. John E. Kelley, Mrs.
Alice Sullivan and Leo K. An
drews.
1t is the intention of the commit
tee to procure fine instrument.
which shall be as large as the space
which can be used for 1t. and capa-
city of the church will allow. 1t will
be thoroughly up-to-date in every
respect. The one now in use Is at
least 80 years old and while. when
it was first installed 1t was probably
the finest instrument in the city. 1t
is at the present time entirely out
of date. It was first installed in the
old Free Baptist church and when
the Penney Memorial church was
constructed wa removed to that
church.

TAXI DRIVERS OBJECT
TO PROPOSAL
RULE THEIR CARS
OFF BUSINESS STREET

;, A recommendation that the parking
limit on Water street be extended to
one nour and that the public cars
should be removed from Water street
70 some stand that might be- equipped
with telephone. was discussed at
some length Wednesday evening at the
nearing conducted by the members of
the traffic committee of the city rov-
eminent at the council chambers.
Mayor Ernest l.. Mclean presided at
the meeting and there were about rs
present.
herbert A. Folsom. secretary Of the
augusta Chamber of Commerce, pre-
sented resolution of the Merchants
bureau dated March 81. 1924, in which
large number Of the car-ownine mer.
chants express their willingness to
Keep their cars of Water street as far
as possible. 1t was recommended to
the traffic committee that the limit
should be extended and the public cars
removed. as outlined above. Mr.. Fol-
som stated that the members of the
Merchants Bureau felt that their Gus
toners and the trucks which deliver
their goods should be able to stop by
the store doors. Several stores have
already complained.
Henry Roy, taxi driver, said that
he had driven for II years and that to
remove the taxi drivers from Water
street was like asking a storekeeper to
remove his store from the street. The
taxi men get the walking people for
their trade by being upon the street
where they can be seen. It Is not a
telephone business as they must be
where they can be seen to get the bust
ness.
William II. Austin, another public
car driver, suggested that an ordinance
requiring the public cars to park at
least so feet apart would care for the
situation.
Mr.. Roy further said that 1t Is only
a four months question each year and
at the same time they pay dues for the
full year. To force them all to park
in one placewould put from 10 to Is
out Of business. Several other taxi
drivers also expressed similar views.
The traffic committee took the rec
concentrations Of the Merchants Blu
reau and Of the public car drivers I'M
der advisement for a period Of observa-
ton. The strict enforcement Of all
present traffic ordinances was urged by
the committee.

at the intersection of these roads, stat
cd that he was just going into his

ments of the attorneys will be heard
