14 TRl-r ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND STEWS. WEDNESDAY, MAT 15. IK- Smoker of Chamber of Commerce Shows Sentiment. BUSINESSMEN FAVOR EXTENSION Revised Charter Advocated at Meeting at Aragon Ho tel Tuesday Night. The builder* of Atlanta, the leader* of her bualneu. the men who have been at the from rank of nearly every en terpriae of magnitude which the city ha* undertaken and accomplished, put their stamp of approval on the move ment for the extension of the city llm It* of Atlanta at the smoker of the Chamber of Commerce at the Aragon Hotel Tuesday night. The spirit of Atlanta, grown great and growing greater through "Atlanta Spirit," was out, and pervaded the en tire assemblage. The meeting was en thusiastic and harmonious. Discussions were free and fair, and of the 200 representative men of At lanta, men of thought and men of ac tion, business men and ‘city ofllcials, who attended the smoker, not one note of discord was heard, and not otle suggestion of antagonism to the move ment was made. As a fitting culmination to the dis cussion. the following resolution, in troduced by II. A. Maler, was adopted bjr acclaim: Resolution Adopted. "Resolved, That we, the members of the Chamber of Commerce and friends here assembled, heartily lndorso the proposed extension of the city limits of Atlanta, and pledge our Individual sup port.” With the Indorsement of the city ex tension movement came the suggestion from speakers of other great things which should go with It. "I am In favor of city extension," said Luther Z. Rosser, president of the board of education, "not for cotton tail rabbits and birds, but for folks. When the limits are extended, the city must make provision for the proper schooling of 20,000 children. Instead of IS,000, the number of children now at tending our public schools. "One thing we should have when we extend the limits. That Is a uni form school system. Fulton county and Atlanta should be pne district. There should be one system for the city and t the county, one superintendent at the head and one board to govern.” This suggestion by Mr. Rosser met with hearty approval and In n number of the speeches that followed It was taken up and dealt with favorably. A Greater Chamber. A greater Chamber of Commerce was another suggestion made and ap. proved by the assemblage. "We want to double our membership In the next sixty days,” stated J. Wlllo Rope, president of the chamber, "os Des Moines has done. We should be able to Increase our membership from 600 to 1,000 with very little trouble. If the Individual membera will but help.” J. L. Logan, secretary of the As sociated Charities, In Indorsing the movement, suggested that. If put on ethical lines, rather than commercial aggrandisement. It would carry with ]mi friction. "We hare a charter that Is nothing but patchwork—a quilt without a de sign. Why not have council authorise th* committee of forty to appoint a commission of three, who will delve Into the very depths of municipal gov. ernment. and who will frame a new city charter for Atlanta. Let the new territory have 11* say in framing this charter, and then. Instead of being a thom In the flesh, ss other annexed territory has been. It will be and will feel a part of Atlanta.” E. F. Blodgett, Atlanta's postmaster, reported that the postofflee department la already serving a greater Atlanta. •The Atlanta,we are serving," stated Mr. Blodgett, “has now a population of 145.000 We have taken In Edgewood, South Atlanta, Oakland City, Western Heights and Marietta street beyond the Brady & Miller stables and Peachtree beyond the home of A. O. Rhodes." y Judy* Hlllyar’a Advice, Judge Georg* Ulllyer, while an ar dent advocate of expansion, cautioned the committee to go slow. ‘This should be a slow process," he stated. "It costs 160,000 a mile to pave a street. The expense of providing sewer and water pipes may be fairly estt mated at 65,000 for every mile. School houses will coat at least 126,000 each I estimate that expansion will cost 1100.000 a mile. "For every square mile, there twenty miles of streets. You see that we must go slow, and be sure. I hope the committee will strike on some plan between the two extremes of not ex tending nt all and extending every where—that the members will agree on some middle ground that will be satis factory to practically all." Frank P. Rice, president of the water board, told of the bearing city ex tension would have on the waterworks department, and expressed favor with the movement. Biggar Waterworks. "The water department." he said, "could not serve Greater Atlanta now. It's all we ran do to supply water to the* people within th* present limits. But, with the Issuance of the 6260.040 of bonds which the people have voted for, we will be In position to serve a greater Atlanta. "This, however, will tax our capacity, and we will need more money later.' I think the time ha* arrived to take In additional territory.

"I want no greater monument to my administration," tho mayor sold. Captain W. G. Raoul, Joel Hurt, and J. K. Orr were among tho other apeak ers whoses addresses were received with great applause at the meeting.
