4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. ACTION OF MAYOR DEVELOPS PROBLEM Docs His Returning of Or dinance Make it a Saw? NO VETO OR APPROVAL City Attorney Maysou Will Advise Council to Regard Disapproval As # Veto. * According to the opinion freely ex pressed by several of the officials at the city hall, the ordinance passed by the city council at their meeting last Mon day week In regard to the punishment to be Inflicted upon saloon men who give liquor to policemen Is already a law, as Mayor Woodward did not either ap- provS or veto the measure within the four days, wnlofi 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 son was seen Tuesday morning In regard lo the mat ter and recollected a similar question which presented Itself some time ago when a sewer crossing J*once DeLeon a\ • nue was a bone of contention among the city fathers. At that time the city consider the mayor* disapproval In the nature of n veto and act accordingly, the measure Anally being passed over his disapproval. Mr. Mayaon state* that he shall advise the council to taka the same action In the present case. The city charter of Atlanta la differ ent In many reaiiects front that of the state or the nation. In the United Mates constitution It I* expressly slated that the president must veto or approve an action of congress tvlthln a stated tlm*. or It will become a law, and a similar section I* contained tn the state code of Georgia. There Is no such pro vision, however. In the city code of At lanta. although four day* la 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 [Siaseil last week will be en forced until definite action ta taken. If, as many believe, the ordinance la now a law, It will be necessary Lis' the city council to repeal the measure and then vote to reconsider. The advice of City Attorney Mayeon will probably be ta ken. however, and the matter discussed at the next session of the board, and if deemed advisable passed over the mayor's disapproval, which la Itself prnctlcally a veto.

Crawford Jackson, chairman of the Central Juvenile protectory com mittee, 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, as wall as Its legal features. The bill regards the way ward child not as a hardened criminal, but as one who can by wise, Arm, yet kindly treatment be regained to paths of rectltuda. H* pointed out the folly of th* methods that have hitherto been adopted In dealing with delinquent chil dren; resulting In making criminals Instead of preventing crime. H* con cluded by urging the claims of the bill as on* of the most Important that could possibly engags the attention of legislative assembly. J. C. Logan, of the Associated Char ities, said that hi* connection with the Associated Charities of the city of At lanta had made him familiar with th* economic questions connected' with the bill now under consideration. He said It was a mistake to suppose that th* hill was for the purpose of preventing Mie punishment of tbe juvenile wrong- clier. the bill enforced their punish ment wherever Justly called for; but Its chief merit was In Its power to pre vent crime by nipping It In the bud. He referred to the notorlou* case of th* Jukes famllyewhlch had cost the elate of New Tork $1,760,000. He contended that had a Juvenlle-court dealt with the young members of that family nearly :he whole of that expense might have been saved. He stated that Judge I-Indaey had said that the few years during which the Juvenile court had been operated In Denver It had saved the state of Colorado at least $1(0,000. This meahur* was no experiment; many states hart adopted It with th* happiest results. No consideration would Induce such state* to return to the old discredited methods of dealing with delinquent children. Owing to tbe lateness of tbs hour, no action was taken by the committee, but It Is understood that the matter will be taken up at the next session.
