PROHIBITION CONVENTION
MAh COME TO ATLANTA
Ws Have Liftsd Quality far Above Msdi-
\
ocrity, But Held Prices Down With
the Ordinary.
Councilman L. P. Huddleston will
troduce In council Monday afternoon
resolution requesting the city executive
, committee to so amend Its original res
olutlon providing for an expression
ballot of the people on the question
the election of ministerial officers
the people that each office will be voted
on separately.
The resolution will also provide that
the superintendent of public schools
be eliminated from the list.
The resolution as adopted by the ex
ecutive committee names practically all f
the ministerial offices, whom council
now elects, and provides for an expres.
slon from the people as to whether o
not they should be elected by the peo
pie.
To Vote Separately,
If Councilman Huddleston's resolu
tlon Is adopted, the vote wll be sepa
rate on each position. For instance,
the people will be asked to vote wheth
er they wish the city marshal elected
by the people, and the city clerk by the
people or not, and so on, the vote on
each being separate.
The resolution will probably be
adopted.
The feature of Councilman Huddle'
ston's resolution, which requests tho
executive committee not to Include tho
superintendent of publlo schools, will
probably cause considerable debate, b
In all likelihood will also be adopted.
For Civil Service,
In this connection. Councilman Ter
rell will take some action looking
the adoption of his ordinance of last
year, which provides for putting all
the departments .of the city govern
ment under civil service, as the police
department la now.
lepartment Is now.
The ordinance was referred last year
to a Joint committee, but no action was
. taken. Councilman Terrell will Insist
that his ordinance be reported by the
committee one way or the other.
If the ordinance Is adopted, tho
school and health departments and
other departments will be places under
civil service rules similar to those now
governing the police department,

Need . of New Building
Shown by Superintend
ent W. M. Slaton.
Plans for the erection of & 160,000
building to be devoted exclusively to
the technological department of the
Boye* High School, are being consld
ered by Professor William M. Slaton,
superintendent of the Atlanta public
schools.
For a long time Professor Slaton has
recognised the necessity of a separate
building for the technological depart
ment of the school, and hs recently
presented the matter to the board of
education. After hearing Professor
Slaton's statement, the board concurred
with him In hi* views and passed a
resolution requesting the euperlntend-
ent to bring the matter to the atten
tion of tho public.
No definite action has yet been taken
In the matter, hut It Is probable that
preliminary steps toward raising
funds nscessary for tho purposo
will be taken at an early date.

TO BE CONSIDERED
A special meeting of the general
council will be held Monday afternoon
at 3 o'clock to take action on the pe
tition of the North Georgia Electric
Company for an extension of twelve
months' time In which to complete Its
system of condulta Into the city.
The Joint committee on electric and
other rallwaya and on ordinances dele
gated to pass upon the petition will
report favorably with the proviso 1
lng all rights acquired Ihereundi

the petition, and recommending that tt
be not granted unless the Atlanta

waive Its claim to a perpetual chr.rtor.
While the meeting Monday was
