Those peo ple are practically unanimous In their desire to come Into Fulton county and become a part of our county ns well as city. With the matter of enlarging the county, your committee, of course, has no concern, but It Is an Important fact that the movement has originated and Is being conducted entirely by cltlxens of IteKalb. Consequently, your com mittee Is of the opinion that the exten sion to Decatur and the contiguous ter ritory as Indicated on the blue print should bo made, as this extension would probably lead to an extension of the limits of Fulton county and the ulti mate building of an excellent system of public roads lending out of Atlanta In every direction through the added terri tory. The terms required are, under all the circumstances, reasonable and the population to be brought In by the an nexation of Decatur and Its surround ing territory, as well oa the large amount of taxable property to be add ed to the taxable property of Atlanta, will be ample compensation for thla ex tension. UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES. East Atlanta, This Is a populous community south of Edgowood, with a population esti mated at about 1.200 to 1,500, and a large amount of taxable property. The people of this community desire to be Incorporated with Atlanta, and ask only to become a part of the city. They make no conditions and ask for noth ing. Of course they would expect to be Included In some manner In the new wards'to be laid out and In that way to have their proper representation In council. East End. This Is another community east of Kirkwood, embracing a large portion of the territory between Kirkwood and Decatur, with a population estimated at 1.000 to 1,200, a large amount of taxable property, also an excellent class of cltlxens. These people desire also to be Included In the annexation, and nsk no concession and name no conditions upon which they are to coma In. In the opinion of your committee, thla territory, aa well as East Atlanta, lies well within the bounds to which the city limits should be extended. It Is unincorporated and would constitute a portion of one of the new wards. South Atlanta. This community Is unincorporated and haa a very large population, aa well aa a large amount of tax values. The population Is largely colored. It should bo embraced In the extended limits of the city, because It Is natur ally a part of the city, and for the ad ditional reason that It Is almost a nec essity that this section be under the police control of Atlanta. Other Territory. . After a personal Inspection and careful consideration of the romalnlng territory shown on the blue print out side of the Incorporated towns, your committee hae reached the conclusion that all of this territory should bo In corporated with the city of Atlanta, that the population, taxable property and proximity to the center of the city proper, render It desirable from every point of view to be Incorporated with the enlarged city. Your committee has carefully ex cluded from the limits all territory which It was possible to exclude, with due regard for regularity and shape and where the population and property values do not afford aufflclent Induce ment to Include such territory In the extended limits. Objections. for omitting any of the parties who have raised objection to the annexation other than la shown In the blue print attached, and. therefore, recommends ths extension of the city limits along those lines. Taxation, In the matter of taxation, your com mittee Is strongly .of the opinion that If should be the policy of the city of Atlanta to deal with the outlying terri tory and Interests to be annexed In a fair and equitable manner. In regard to taxation. No exomptlon from taxation con or ought to be granted, but It would not be wise to tax unreasonably manufacturing Interests whose owners A. previously slsted. a. far a. your ™ lal& !■ nO len- nnnulntlnn wniron nt tt’hlrh nrn GOING AWAY?

L. J. DANIEL, President. 45-47-49 Peachtree-Opposite Walton St. committee I* adviced, there oua objection from any cource to pn ncxatlon of the territory Indicated, ex cept from that portion known Brookwood and torn of the mnnufac' turing and other clmllar Interests lo ealed Just outside the present city llm Its. The manufacturing interest* are largely In the territory known ar Conk's district, which contains a popu latlon of 11,000 to 15,000 people. Your committee Is convinced that, notwithstanding these objections, all of this territory should be embraced In the proposed extension. Many of these manufacturers have enjoyed years of Immunity from city taxation, although by reason of their location and th« large population surrounding them, they constitute an essential part of the city's population and wealth. For the great advantages which they en Joy the city ahould derive a reasonable revenue from these Interests to help sustain the city government and oth- irwlee contribute to tho general public good. It te the opinion of your com mittee that the extenelon proposed will work no hardship upon these manufac turing enterprises, and that they will derive from the annexation corres ponding benefits far In excess of the axes which they will be required to P Tlie objection that cornea from Brook, wood Is largely that of private cltlsene who now enjoy all the advantages of the cuy and whose objections, when analysed, amount to nothing more than a desire to avoid the payment of city taxes. The committee is of the opinion that the territory should be extended In accordance with the line* shown on the blue print*. The city’s growth should not be retarded by private In terests. Municipal advancement can not yield to peraonal convenience. If these people, by reason of their prox imity to the city, are able to enjoy the privileges which are Afforded by the elty. then the city la entitled to a reasonable support from these people. Atlanta proper contains a very large population. In previous census reports she has not received the benefit of her real population, because of the small territory embraced within the corporate limits. In the next census she ought to have the benefit of everything that eroperly belongs to the city, because she I* entitled to It. This la a material advantage for all the people, and even though In some Individual case this annexation should work a hardship, which your commute* does not believe will follow. Individual intercut* should yield to those of the general public.

The same Is true In regard to much of the subur ban territory to be annexed. It should bo tho policy of the city, acting through Its tax assessors, to assess such prop erty reasonably and In accordance with the purpose for which It Is used. The extension of the city limits should never furnish any excuse for exacting from the manufacturing Interests surround ing Atlanta or suburban property em braced within the proposed extension burdensome taxation or vexatious reg ulations. The greatest asset that the city of Atlanta enjoys le her manu facturing entorprlees, and no policy should bo adopted which would have the effect of placing unduo burdens or restriction* upon those enterprises. On the contrary, the city should, as far as It le possible to do eo, encourage such enterprises and lighten their burdens, ■o as to enable them to build up and expand, because by their growth the wealth of the city le Increased and the individual cltlxens us a wbola are the beneficiaries. Population. From the beet estimate that your committee has been able to obtain, the territory embraced within the outlines shown on the bluo print, will odd be tween 40,000 and 50,000 to Atlanta's population, and a corresponding amount of revenue producing proper ty. Your committee la confident that the addition of this territory and pop ulatlon which Is naturally and logic ally a port of the city Itself, will place Atlanta far In the lead of other South ern cities, with the single exception of New Orleans. The desire for suprem acy which exists ao generally among our people Is not merely one of senti ment. It centers Into the very busi ness lire of the community. One of the greatest assets that the city of At lanta has ever enjoyed Is the enormous advertising which she has had from being known as the leading Southern town. New Orleana being regarded as somewhat western. Until the last census she enjoyed this distinction. She can regain thp first place, which waa lost by the last census, by taking In simply that which Is her own. If she neglects this opportunity. It Is highly probable that she will be rele gated to fourth, fifth, or possibly sixth place In the group of Southern cities— not because those cities have grown ony faster than Atlanta, but because they are all preparing lo enlarge their territory In order to enatch from this city the leadership. Your committee feels that the loss of prestige would mean tremendous financial loss In the years to come, while the distinction of leading among Southern cities will bo tho means of Inducing population nnd enormous financial growth In the future. Apart from sentiment, your committee has an abiding conviction that the finan cial benefits to be derived from the extension will show gro section of the country, will be ample compensation t/ any Initial expense PINNACLE TRUNK MFG.

Aceordlng to the beet eetimete your committee lias been able to make, the taxable property within the territory proposed to be annexed, including rail roads and property of'other corpora tions, will easily amount to twenty million dollar#, probably more. The income from this property ehoi more than sufficient to take ci the Initial expentes conneoted with extension of tho elty limits, Thla in itial expense will doubtless extend over a period of several years, and during that time your committee is unable to ■oe where the present elty will be called r n to contribute any great amount money to carry out tho several agrssmants arrived at with surround ing municipalities. After the initial expense shall have been disposed of, your oommittoo io of tho opinion that the territory to be annexed will be more then self.sustaining from its taxss, and in a fsw years will become Important contributors to tho city's oxehoquor. Bond lieues. Your committee Is eatlsfied that the people of the various outlying munlch polities will. If requested to do so; wherever conditions will permit, each vote an additional Issue of bonds euf. flolent to cover In part at least the ex pense of Improvements which they de. sire made. Theee bonds to be provided for In the act of annexation or other legislation and to be Issued and aold before such municipalities are taken In the limits of Atlanta, the bonds thus Issued to be aesumed by the city of At. lama when annexation shall actually be made. Your committee Is furthermore of the opinion that the Initial expense which the city of Atlanta will assume for Im provements, tentatively agreed upon with committees representing the va rious municipalities, need not and should not all be made at once, but Southern Dry Goods & Shoe Co,, (Incorporated) PIERCE'S BUSY DEPARTMENT STORE. 60 Mlartlia Street. Oppoiit* Poit Offld E. PIERCE, President. that tba earns should be made as rapid ly as conditions will permit, all of said Improvements to be completed within a period of not exceeding five years from the date of annexation. Your committee recommends that there be Incorporated In the agreement for annexation the provision that bonds will be voted by the people of such mu- - nlclpalltles where the same con be done, upon the request of the city of Atlanta, and that ths expense for Im provements to be made by the city of Atlanta In the preeent municipalities ■hall, If necessary, extend over a period not exceeding five years, a proportion- | ate amount of such expenditures to bo made each year during said period. Rearrangement of Wards. Your committee Is of tho opinion that the wards of the enlarged city ahould be arranged according to population, and that the city council of Atlanta, with the aseletance of the etty engineer, can better decide upon the lines of these wards than this committee. The city engineer will be able to gather data and furnlel. the necessary Infor mation for redlsMctlng the city, which at present are not available, and youi committee, therefore, recommends that the rearrangement of these wards b< referred back to the city council of Ab lanta for determination.
