ters Commissioner of Public Works
H. L. Collier, acting by request of
Mayor Woodward, hied himself to the
Louisville and Nashville railroad yards,
facing on Hunter street, between‘But
ler and Piedmont avenue, Wednesday
morning, and with strong Georgia pine,
heavy pike nails, shovels and other
necessary Instruments erected four six-
post fences, monuments to remind the
Louisville and Nashville that It can
not defy the city of-Atlanta or en
croach on the property of the same.
The move was made after several
months of patient watting.
It was made to protect the lives and
eshta Af i tlaiVIn nil Ivans ,
rights Of Atlanta cltlsens.'
The cause was the continuous driv
ing across the sidewalk on Hunter
street by wagons getting material from
the Georgia railroad. *
The effect will be to abolish the
nuisance and make the railroad come
to terms.
About two months ago there was a
long and tansatlafactory pow-wow held
In the mayor's office between attor
neys for the Loulsvllel and Nashville,
city attorneys,.city ahd rglltoad engls
neers and the mayor. The- grievance
of the city was then and there set
fqrth—on Hunter street there are about
of sidewalk between Butler
200 yards
and Piedmont avenue, which Is prac
tically useless to pedestrians because
of the traffic which rolls over the side
walk. Terminating at the street are
eight or more tracks, where freight
cars are backed up. Between these
tracks roadways have been constructed
and to reach them there are six places
to cross the sidewalk. The mayor In
formed the railroad officials that four
of these would have to be closed up,
that two would be allowed to stay open
on Hunter street and one on Butler
street. The railroad paid no attention
hnd after-repeated warnings the work
of fencing off the four driveways was
'done Wednesday.

him no time for escape.
When several hundred exasperated
bees had each Inserted a red-hot sting

to terra firms
A few thousand Insects chased him
