Americus council debates drainage of Muckalee creek
The September 17 1888 council meeting in Americus Ga discusses a county drainage proposal for Muckalee creek. County declined cooperation citing broader county demands and expenditures. The mayor may hire an engineer for survey and fall analysis while fire department hose purchases and various license and nuisance actions are approved. A city assessor report notes widespread underreporting of personal property and urges itemized returns, praising street cleanliness and recommending extra compensation for clerk Treas Brinson. A separate brief notes a local theft case in Thomasville with a 17.50 fine and three months in jail or gang.
