Atlanta la destined to Hava a cen tral abattoir, one which will be modern In every detail and will In every per il''Aar carry out the speclflcatlon* of the meat ordinance after lie paeeace by council Monday, If a pronoaltlon made to the epeclal committee l« ac cepted, Dr, (,*, F, Benton, president of the board of health, which held joint aeseion with the epeclal commit tee appointed to Investigate the pres ent methodi of local butcher*, elated the meeting that he had been ap proached by reeponelble partlee who "ere willing to erect a $100,000 (laugh ter hou*e If the city council and board of health would give the enterprlee their backing. The proposition met auch Immediate approval from the committeemen and butchere In attendance that it was dr. elded to have a committee Investigate sites around the city and to ascertain whether or not there Is a proper local Ity for such a plant. Carl Wolfshelmer also stated that he was willing to build a central slaughter house where, for a stipulated sum, all the smaller meat men could have their cattle slaughtered. The ordinance, drawn by City At tnrney James 1* Mayson, was present ed In printed form to members of the committee, members of the board of health and to the local butchers. Attorney William D. Thompson, rep. resenting the local butchers, llrat took the floor and suggested a number of minor changes to be made In the ordi nance. He asked that wooden .posts, cut off even with the concrete flooring, be allowed at regular distances In the abattoirs, sons to facilitate the penning up of cattle: thnt hot water be allowed Instead of steam: that Instead of age being stipulated relative to the slaugh ter of calves, weight be substituted, and that the time riven the Inspectors to reach the abattoirs, after notifica tion. be shortened. Carl Wolfshelmer stated at first that the ordinance was not applicable to Atlanta, and that If It were enforced many butchers would be run out of business. He asked that Western meats should be given the same In spection ns local meats: He argued against the refrigerating plants being connected with the abattoirs and spoke on a number of other points, flnnlly offering to build a central abattoir him self.

Jolly stated that the ordl nance, although It might seemingly work a hardship for a short time, was the only method of building up the local market, ns had been proven In other cities; that It would greatly ben efit the local men In the long run. Dr. H. O. Carnes stated that a cen tral abattoir was the proper thing to have, whether It be owned by the mu nicipality or by private citizens. Dr. Benson, In stating that there wero certain parties who wished to build a large plant, said they were rltlten* of Atlanta. He refused to give out the names. - The meeting adjourned to meet again Friday afternoon when any writ ten suggestions will be considered. WARDEN SECURED MONE Y 70 SEND STRICKEN FA MIL Y ON WA Y 70 BUR Y ITS DEAD After a 14-hour delay, caused by tha refusal of J. A. Thomas, acting In his ofllclal capacity as agent of the Qeor. gU railroad, to give the usual charity reduction In railroad fare, A. T. Evans, of 25 McDonald street, and his six small rhlldren accompanied the bodies of Mrs. Evans and the two-weeks-old Infant to Washington, Ga., Wednesday morning. The family left the city on the 7:45 o'clock train. Full fare was paid, as the railroad positively refused to give any reduc tion whatever. City Warden Evans stated Wednes day morning that this was the first case where n railroad had refused to give the 2-cent charity rate when re quested by the city to do so. The mayor’s request that the charity rat* be given was added to that of the city warden. The peculiar sadness of the double death and the poverty of the family along with the strange action of the railroad makes this case unique In every particular. Norman, the two-weeks-old Infant of A. T, Evans, an engineer for the De- Loach Mill Manufacturing Company, died Monday morning. During the following night the mother passed sud denly away, unattended hy physicians, and while the other members of the household slept. Six children, the oldest 14 years, were left to the father. Qav* Clothes to 8hroud Body. The poverty of the family can be realised when It Is known that Mrs. Adella J. Chapman, superintendent of the Home far Incurables, had to give her personal clothing so that the moth er could be properly shrouded. The family waa without food and without money, when the city warden's attention was called to the case. Im mediate relief was given by the clt] as well as by the employees of the Mil Manufacturing Company and tha At. lanta Hosiery Company, where the rhlldren had worked until Illness and lark of food had made It Impossible for them to work longer. City War den Evans applied for the charity rata for the family and two bodies. The pe tition waa refused and In consequence. Instead of getting off on the 1:*0 train Tuesday afternorm ss was flyst plan ned. the family had to wait until Wed nesday momlng before leaving Atlan ta. Money Was Made Up. * The city paid 114.41 of the expenses and the Atlanta Hosiery Company paid the remaining IS which would have been the charity reduction If the rail- rood had not seen fit to refuse It. # City Warden Evans stated Wednes. day that the railroads did not lose anything by giving the charity- rate, and that the only motive In the Geor gia Railroad, through Its agent, J. A. Thomas, refusing to give ft was the fact that the railroad had no opposi tion to Washington, and hoped to wring the regular fare out of the city, or the destitute family, as It was known that the bodies would be taken to the city named and that the chil dren could not be left In Atlanta. The story which appeared In Tues day’s Georgian telling exclu«lT-.'y of the heartlessness of the railroad has caused widespread amaaement and comment throughout the city, and City Warden Evans ha* been called upr*' by a number of citizens who have proffer, red their assistance, FEW BILLS PASS ON CLOSING DAY OF LOWER HOUSE Corporation Registration Bill Goes Through.
