rier
On and after January 1 there will be
an increased tendency among city and
county policemen, city and county of
ficials. office-holders and others to taboo
street cars and give more play to their
Itedal extremities except In. cases of dire
emergency.
For the order of the railroad commis
sion issued Wednesday in reference to
riding on free passes Includes every
street car company operating in Geor
gia Just as much as it applies to rail
roads. and there Is no provision made
for city official*, policemen and firemen
who have been accustomed to enjoy
the courtesy of the street car compa
nies and pay no fare.
“If there are those who do not Inter
pret the order to apply to atreet rail
roads," says the commission, "we will
Issue a special order for their enlight
enment." After this statement and aft
er reading IMe order a second time,
those who are skeptical will be con
vinced. The order follows:
“After the 31st day of December, 1907,-
no railroad company or other common
carrier, subject ta the Jurisdiction of
the railroad commission of Georgia,
shall be allowed to Issue or honor any
free ticket, free pass or free intrastate
transportation for passengers between
any point* In this state, except upon
the terms provided for Interstate free
transportation by the act of congress
approved June 29, 1906, known as the
Hepburn act."
Thus It happens that 170 uniformed
city policemen. Si uniformed county
policemen, 8 detectives. 145 firemen, 12
uniformed employees of the city con
nected with the waterworks department
nnd those members of council and
others who have been allowed to ride
free will either walk or pay car fare
after the first of the year. For passes
will not be good.
Question is: Who will pay the car
In nearly every city In the country
special provision Is made for men In
uniform employed by the city and their
badges or uniforms are the only pass-
porte required when they board a street
car. In the case qf Atlanta the cour-

President Arkwright’s Statement.
President Arkwright, of the'oeoiglii
Railway and Electric Company, when
asked for a statement concerning the

on the carrying of policemen, firemen
and other city official, free of charge,
said:
“It aeems to me that the ruling as
promulgated by the raltroud commis
sion certainly include, city employees.
It slates spedflcally that ’no railroad
company, other common carrier,

A red-hot fight, in which two young
legal giants of Dalton have been pitted
against each other, and In which the
legality of a $1 tax on dogs has been
stubbornly combatted, has been settled
by the court of appeals.

lar tax imposed by the city of Dalton
on his dog. Marshal Fincher arrested
him and Collum sued out a writ of

his arrest. Judge Longley granted the
writ and discharged Collum from cus

peals has reversed. The marshal wai

BANK CLEARINGS SHOW
A GAIN OF $24,184,929
Panics may come and go In Wall atreet and frenaled finance may
wreak havoc In the North, but Atlanta bank clearings show that Atlanta
la not affected by things done In Wall street.
The report of the Atlanta ('tearing House Association shows that the
clearings for the month of October this yenr are 326,764.257.76, a gain
of over a million and a'half dollars over the corresponding month last
year. The figures for that month were 324,986,866.92.
The Increase for the year so far since January 1 Is even more re-
markable. The report shows the clearings since January 1 to be 3210,-
534,118.26, compared with 3186,349,189 for the same time last year, or
a gain for this year of—
124,184,929.26.
All of which shows that Atlanta Is growing bigger and bigger, for
there Is no barometer like the reports of ths clearing house.

BANKERS EXPLAIN
CERTIFICATE PLAN
•eullty the certificates have more
solid backing than an ordinary bank
note. In that every’ one of them. Instead
of being backed by the resources of 9ne
bank, has the solid backing of all the
banks composing the ,Atlanta
Clearing House Association.
’instead of being backed by the re
sources of one bank." explained Asa G.
Candler, president of the Central Bank
and Trust Corporation, "these certifi
cate* are \aoked by the resource* of
th#ltt all. ' tfi other words, there Is a
backing of between $20,000,000 and $25,-
000.000 on every single certificate."
Oi\ the bark of each certificate Is the
guarantee of all the seven banks.
Continuing. Mr. Candler stated that
there had not been the slightest flurry

Colonel R. F. Maddox, of the <Mad-

clear another reason for the Issuance of
certificates.
"The Idea," he explained. "Is to pro
vide a good circulating medium. In
New York depositors have drawn out
their cash and hidden It In drawers
and placed it In safe-deposit vaults anil
buried It. Jt has been taken out of
circulation. These certificates, which)
are Issued In lieu of cash, are os good
us cash, and are backed by gilt-edged
securities, but a man will not bury cer
tificates as he would gold, and thus the
certificates constitute a good circulat

Dank# Are Strong.

ment:
“The banks were never In better con.
dflion. I do not know of a single
banking Institution In Atlanta that is
not stronger today than It was twelve
months ago. The Issuance of these
certificates Is g matter of prptectlon.
New York and other cities decided
temporarily not to let us have any cash.
Then, to protect what cash we have,

Hems of the specifications, which, If
substituted for the original specifica
tions. would tend to reduce the cost of
the building. By economising In sopie
features It might be possible, aeco/dlng
to this telegram, to still have Georgia
material on the outside r.nd for inside
finishing.
But Congressman Livingston has fig
ured that Georgia marble nnd granite
are possible under tile lowest bid al
ready submitted, He points out that
the original appropriation available for
the building wus 81,000,000.
"Deduct from that," ha said, "about
350.000 already expended; that leavea
3950,000. The McCaut bid of ,’iout
3840.000 would give us .a granite ex
terior ami a marble Interior, leaving a
surplus of 8110.000. We have figured
on an allowance of 840,000 tor any
thing that might come up. and this will
atlll leave a net margin of 370,000.
i Fundi for Furnishing.
Congressman Livingston said that
the electric wiring, fixture!, heating
apparatus, elevators, superintendence
and cost of plans would be covered by
another appropriation, and that money
from the present available appropria
tion would not have to be uied.
"We don’t want.” he aald, "thla build.
Ing mmle of Indiana limestone. In the
first place. It Is not durable and will
disintegrate, and In the second we want
the money spent at home with Georgia
workmen. We want to patronise home
Industries nnd let Georgia workmen get
the money."
Sam T. Vennble, of Venable Brothers,
who put In a bid for the granite, dis
cussed the proposition and Maid It was
quite possible for Georgia material to
be used.
"Our bid," he said, "for the granite
to be used In the exterior of the build-
‘ng was 3213.000 and was Die lowest.
Granite has always been used In pref
erence to other material, and In this
case It Is cheaper than the bid for tin)
marble—330.000 cheaper. What’s the
use of using Inilluna limestone when
this money will be spent among work
men at H.tone Mountain who spend
their money In Atlanta?"
Mr. Venablo declared that while
granite was more durable and better
than marble tor exterior work It was
easily possible under the McCaul bid
to use Georgia granite for the exterior
and tleorgla marble for the Interior
and In this manner keep the money In
the state.
It was the opinion, too. of C. G.
Bradt, of the Mile* & Bradt Co., ttv
Atlanta contractors bidding on tho
bunding, that the work could be done
with Georgia material. He said that
under the lowest bid announced It was
Ills opinion that marble and graniio
from Georgia could be used and still
have a surplus.
T Congressman Livingstons plans
not meet the approval of Architect
Taylor. It Is probable that the peoplo
it Atlanta and Georgia will bring
Irons preisure to hear to have noth
ing but Georgia material used.
