GEORGIA TOWN HAS
TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT
ATLANTA, Jan. 2.3.—Kirkwood, a
suburb of Atlanta, is worrying along
with three mayors and two city coun
cils.
N. J. Cassels, elected mayor on the
face of the returns, went before the
city clerk with his council and took
the oath of office. W. E. Saunders,
his opponent, who declares that he was
legally elected, went before the justice
of the peace with his city council and
also vowed he would run the town
properly.
Both claimants pestered Mayor B.
F. Gilliam so much that he refused to
turn the keys over to either until the
courts decide who is the real mayor
and council.
