ACTION OF MAYOR
DEVELOPSPROBLEM
Does His Returning of Or
dinance Make it a
Saw?
i HISTORIC MIMS HOME
IS PLACED ON MARKET
NO VETO OR APPROVAL
City Attorney Mavson Will
Advise Council to Regard
Disapproval As Veto.
According to the opinion freely e*-
preaaed by several of the officiate at the
city hall, the ordinance paaaed by the
city council at their meeting laet Mon
day week In regard to the punlahment
to be Inflicted upon aaloon men who give
liquor to policemen la already a law, as
Mayor Woodward did not either ap
prove or veto the measure within the
four days, wnlch the city code states
shall be done. In fact, Mayor Wood
ward has not yet either legally vetoed
or approved of the measure, although
on Monday he returned the ordinance
with his strong disapproval.
City Attorney May mm was seen
Tuesday morning In regard to the mat
ter and recollected a similar question
which presented Itself some time ago
when a sewer crossing Ponce lie I jeon
avetiue was a bone of contention among
the. city fathers. At that time the city
attorney recommended that the council
consider the mayor's disapproval In the
nature of a veto and act accordingly,
the measure finally being passed over
his disapproval. Mr. Mayson states
that he shall advise the council to take
the same action In the present cose.
The city charter of Atlanta Is differ
ent In many respects from that of the
state or the nation. In the United
States constitution It Is expressly stated
that the president must veto or approve
an action of congress within a stated
time, or It will become a law', and a
similar section lakontalned In the state
code of Georgia. There Is no such pro
vision, however, In the city code of At
lanta. although four days Is the time
set for either the veto or approval.
There Is no provision for action In case
the mayor exceeds the time limit.
It Is hardly probable that the ordi
nance paased last week will be en
forced until definite action Is taken. If,
aa many believe, the ordinance Is now'
h law. It will be necessary for the city
council to repeal the measure and then
>.»te to reconsider. The advice of City
Attorney Mayson will probably be ta-
k**n. however, and the matter discussed
Mt the next session of the board, and
if deemed advisable passed over the
mayor’* disapproval, which la Itself
practically a veto.

JUVENILE COURT BILL
IN HOUSE COMMITTEE
The Judiciary committee of the house
Monday night took the Juvenile court
and probation bill under consideration.
Some friends of the bill were present.
Including Rev. A. J. McKelway, of the
child labor committee; J. C. Logan, of
the Associated Charities;- Rev. Craw
ford Jack,on- and Rev. A. E. Seddon, of
the Juvenile protectory, tp urge the
favorable consideration of the bill. At
the Invitation of Hon. T. S. Felder, of
Bibb, deputy chairman of the commit
tee, Rev. Crawford Jackson, chairman
of the Central Juvenile protectory com
mlttee, was Invited to speak. In doing
so Mr. Jackson said this.measure has
been called for by a large number of
the best and most Intelligent people
throughout the state of Georgia. He
explained the paternal and maternal
spirit of the bill, aa well as Its legal
features. The bill regards the way
ward child not aa a hardened crlmlnafl,
but as one who can by wise. Arm, yet
kindly treatment be regained to paths
of rectitude. Hs pointed out the folly
of the methods that have hitherto been
adopted Jn dealing with delinquent cbll
dren; resulting In making criminals
Instead of preventing crime. He con
cluded by urging tne claims of the
bill as one of the moat Important that
could possibly engags the attention of
a legislative assembly.
J. C. Logan, of the Associated Char
ities, said that his connection with the
Associated Charities of the city of At
lanta had made him familiar with ths
economic questions connected with the
bill now under consideration. He said
It was a mistake to suppose that the
bill waa for ths purpose of preventing
'ie punishment of ths Juvenile wrong-
Mr. the bill enforced their punish
ment wherever Justly called for; but Its
chief merit waa In Its power to pre
vent crime by nipping It In the bud.
He referred to the notorious case of the
Jukes family which had coat the atate
of New York *1,750,004. He contended
that had a Juvenile court dealt with the
young members of that family nearly
the whole of that expense might have
been saved. He stated that Judge
Lindsey had said that the few years
during which the Juvenile court had
been operated In Denver It had saved
the stats of Colorado at least 1160,000.
This measure was no experiment;
many states have adopted It with the
happiest results. No consideration
would Induce such states to return to
the old discredited methods of dealing
with delinquent children.
Owing to the lateness of the hour,
no action .was taken by the committee,
but It la understood that the matter
will be taken up at the next session.
