Increased appropriation sought by State College of Agriculture

The State College of Agriculture asks the legislature for an extra ten thousand dollars per year to expand maintenance and extension work for farmers. A bulletin on cotton breeding by Prof. R J H DeLoach is being distributed, and President A M Soule argues the funds will support field and classroom education, disease control, and a statewide information campaign. The appeal cites losses from fiber quality, disease, and inefficiencies, urging quick grant approval.

City Makes Many Needed Improvements in Water System

Athens has begun a series of water and sewer improvements to boost city service. A six inch main on Lumpkin Street is finished and a six inch line to Elmwood Manufacturing’s new plant will soon be completed. Plans call for a ten inch main from Prince Avenue and Cobb Street to the State Normal School to replace the six inch line and improve fire service. The city also will install sewers along Barrow and Childs streets to aid residence-area development.
