FOR WHITE WAY WORK WILL BEGIN ON ITS CONSTRUCTION AT ONCE OVER 10 0 POSTS George Miller Says That Local System Will Be Complete In Following a conference held yeBter day at :! o'clock In the city hall, Ma yor Holleman and Aldermen Farmer and Elmore closed a contract with George Miller for a"groat white way" for Anderson and Mr. Miller at once telegraphed to the manufacturers c/ the whito way posts to rush the re quired number of posts to the city. The posts are made at Anderson. Ala., and they will prohahly arrive here at an early date and the actual work of constructing"^ white wny for the city will ho put under way. When ft became known last night thai the council had closed u contract for the system the people of the city were well pleased. Numbers of the business men of thecity said that they considered it one - of the best steps that the council had over tnken and the action of the body was generally endorsed on every side. , In talking with a reporter for The Intelligencer, Mr. Miller said that he did not know just how long it would take for the new posts to arrive, but he expected the manufacturers to lose no time in getting the poats on the road and that the work would be then pushed 88 rapidly as possible as noon as the material reached here. He said that beyond doubt the now system would be ready for use by the time the C\,ii?i.-?r;raic reunion convenes ncrc in May and the work of installing the white way will be pushed with that end in view. This system will cost approximately $10,000 but under the terms of agree ment between Mr. Miller and the cltv council, the city of Anderson wljl not pay can tent for the improvement, as they were merely required to close a contract thnt they would keep tkt?, white way lu operation for the next ' 10 years and pay for current consum- ( ed by the lights at the .rate of $35 per ; post per annum. The fact that more | poles were contracted for yesterday than had at first been contemplated, will not affect this. All told, the An derson system will have 108 posts. The system will commence at the postofflce and will run from there to the square, where a quartet row of lights will be Installed, the same be ing placed on both sides of the Plaza and on both sides of the opposite side of tbo court house square; the lights will then go down West Whltner street to the site of the new theatre; down East Whltner to McDuffle street. Crossing the square again, the lights will bo . installed on Benson street, from Peoples to McDuffle, doubling back again to the court house square J and going down South Main street to the site of the new proposed termi-| nals of *.he Charleston & Western: Carolina Railway. This will. cover the entire business district. Mr Miller stated in The l?tel?gcr. ccr reporter last night that the sys tem proposed for this city will be the most complete is the entire South from the standpoint of covering the entire business district, and that the special display as arranged for the square will give a setting to the. sys tem unobtainable usually elsewhere. It was understood in Anderson last night that the Ladles' Civic League, and the Anderson chamner of com merce will at once make a proposition to the city council concerning a cel ebration to be held when tho system is completed. Tentative plans have already been made, ttvese including a great parade, special music, a dtapaly of Ore works and several other attrac tions. There is little doubt but that the council will accept the offer of a joint celebration and the day of -op ening the system will be a big one for Anderson.
