Key has drafted a resolution which he will Introduce In council at the adjourned meeting Tuesday afternoon calling attention to the fact that the Atlanta Northern Raijway Company, which operates the street car line to Marietta, la using a franchise to run its passenger and ex press cars nvsr the streets of the city without compensation to the city or permission from the municipal authori ties. The resolution does not stop there. Curiosity Is not the only thing which prompts Aiderman Key. He wants the Hty attorney to take the matter up nnd report back a plan of procedure for the city to enforce compensation. Text of Resolution. The resolution, which tells the story, Is as follows: "Whereas, The Atlanta Northern Railway Company la using a public franchise to run Its passenger and ex press cars over the streeta of the city of Atlanta; nnd, whereas, said com pany has no permission of the munlcl pul authorities to exercise auch rights, and the city doea not receive any com pensntlon therefore, , "Resolved by the mayor and general council of the city of Atlanta, That the city attorney he requested to Inquire Into the use that said company Is pitt ing the streets of the city of Atlanta to In running their, said cars, nnd report what the rights of aald company an tlie use of the streets, and what the remedy of the city of Atlanta Is to enforce compensation for the rights to the use of the streets." A Little History. Behind the name of the Atlanta Northern Railway Company there Is a little story. It dates back to the time when the Atlanta Rapid Transit Company nnd the Atlanta Consolidated Street Hallway Company really did consolidate. There was a clause In serted In the permission given by coun cil stipulating that the consolidated company was to pay the city 2 1-2 per cent Income tax. This was agreed to. The city has been getting Its Income tax regularly. But when It came to building the Atlanta Northern Hallway Company the Income tax was a consideration. So It was decided to change the name of the company. Therefore, the At lanta Northern. The Georgia Railway nnd Electric Company owns the Atlan ta Northern Railway Company. The formality of securing s frsnchlse was dispensed with—also the formality of paying the city the 2 1-2 per cent In come tax. Hence the resolution of Alderman Key. There promises to he something do ing. IRATE MR. SULLIVAN BUILDS FENCE EIGHTEEN FEET HIGH TO HIDE HIS NEIGHBOR SCOTT The neighborhood around Glenn nnd Grunt streets nnd Georgia avenue Is aroused over ft "spite fences—the Indig nation running high ns the fence, which Is IN fe«*t % heavenwards. The fence is the work of S. W. Sullivan and a competent corps of carpenters. The obstacle to breexe nnd beauty Is a work of art from the view point of an Iconoclast. Back of It there Is not only the skeleton of n two-story structure, hut the framework of quite a mile history. nny yeurs ago \V. M. Scott, at prea- one of the best known real estate dealers of the city, who has his office til 72 North Broad street, purchased the lot nt the corner of Glenn and Irani streets. The lot extended hack tome 200 feet on Glenn street and Imd i frontage of Lift feet on Grant. In purchasing the lot Mr. Scott put In the Iced the proviso that no house be tween the residence lie would build nnd he corner of Georgia avenue should •xtend closer than f»0 feet to the slde- tvnlk. lie then built his home, a 15- •oom, 3-story, stone and frnme build ing of elaborate design. Things went Across the street three other houses ere erected, all 2-story and some dis tance hack from the sidewalk. 1/ #*ne were occupied by K. P. Burns, K. I*. King ami the Messrs. Reddell. start ing from Glenn street nnd running to ward Georgia avenue. At the corner f Georgia avenue there was erected Presbyterian church. After several ears It was decided by the trustees of he church to sell a portion of the hurch lot. S. W. Sullivan bought It and erected a small cottage near the lreel line, thus cutting off the view f the other houses and giving a ragged | appearance to that side of the street. Mr. Scott In consultation with the owners of the three houses across the street, declared that he would object to the cottage. This got to the ears of Mr. Sullivan. Later Mr. Sullivan bought the Jot next to the Scott home and also the third lot from the home. On the lat ter be built a frnme house and ex tended a large heavy porch over the stipulated 60-foot line. K. Hopkins, who owns the adjoining property, made no objection, and so Mr. Scott let the matter slip, one month ago, however, after returning from a trip to Atlnntp: City, Mr. Scott wss surprised to see the framework of a house next to his. He found that the builder was Mr. Kul- llvnn, and sent him a letter stating that he would not allow the house to lie built over the 50-foot line. Mr. Sul livan continued to build nnd the house extended seven feet past the line. Mr. Scott held a consultation with his at torneys and last Wednesday enjoined Mr. Sullivan. The work was stopped on the portion of the house extending over the line, while the other continued. Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Scott, who had been nway from their residence during the dfty, returned nnd were again surprised. Between their property and the Sullivan property was the 16x50-foot "spite fence." Mrs. Scott was told by her servants that Mr. Sul livan had set his entire corps of car penters nt work on the fence and had hammered throughout the day, even after sufficient nails had been driven through the boards to build an ark they had continued to hammer. Mr. Sullivan will appear In court on September It to show cause why he should not tear down the portion of his structure which extends over the 50-foot line. ANOTHER DAY SPENT IN COURT REARINI OFCHURCH IN FIGHT Much Matter Seemingly Irrelevant Introduced Saturday. Another day has been spent by the lawyers retained by the two factions of the church, which was formerly known as the First Cumberland Presbyterian church, of Atlanta, In efforts to vince Judge Pendleton of the equity of their contentions. The better psrt of the court day was taken ,up by E. N. Underwood, representing the "loyalist" faction, which opposes union with the Northern Presbytelan church. Much matter seemingly Irrelevant In getting at the legal status of the two factions of the church has been Intro duced, but most of it has been admit ted by the consent of both parties to the litigation. The petitioners filed In evidence an affidavit signed by Judge J. H. Fussell, of Columbia, Tenn., the chalrmun of the "loyalist" movement; T. A. Hanxon. of Jasper, Tenn., and J. J. McClellan, All of whom were present. This doco- ment dealt with the whole progress of the union movement up to the present time. All three have fought the Idea of uniting with the Northern church from the start. They were all at the assem blies at Dallas, Texas, Fresno, Cali fornia, and Decatur, 111. In their affida vit they claim that the course of the movement for union between the Cum berland Presbyterian church and the Presbyterian church In the United Ktates (Northern) was defective and Illegal. Judge Pendleton considered portions of this nffidnvlt Irrelevant and cumbersome to the record, but It was admitted without objection. In combating the claim that the financial affairs of the church had been carried Into the union and that the church could not support Itself as a Cumberland church, a paper signed by I. McCord was Hied pledging thal If the petitioners were given the church they would financially maintain Jt. Affidavits ss to Financss. The attorneys representing the ma jority of the members of the church, ho favor union, filed Saturday morn ing an affidavit In .answer to one filed Friday by the loyalist attorneys. The affidavit filed Saturday morning show ed that Rev. J. A. Whitens*-, who has been supplying the local pulpit for the opponents of union since the tempora ry Injunction against the unionists was •btalned, gave a pledge In 1801 for $6 o he paid to the building and lot fund, and that no part of this amount had been paid. This flatly contradicts his nffidnvlt of yesterday, which was to the effect that tb unite the churches would pervert the trust of the money he had paid In. After the tiling of these documents, K. M. Underwood, of the counsel for the anti-unionists, begun ills, argument about 10 o'clock nnd took up practical ly the whole of the remainder of Sat urday's session. He argued that the part of the mom bershlp which left the church nnd Joined another could not hold the prop erty. He held that the power o' church to amend did not carry v It the power to destroy, nnd that the General Assembly of the Cumberland reshyterlan church had no right to gree to unite with another church, that this power wns not granted in the onstltutiott of the church, and that vhercnx tt was not specifically allowed t was denied. The Negro Entere Question. The difference In the status of the negro In the Cumberland Presbyterian hurch and the Presbyterian church In the United Slates was a subject of part of his discussion. He admitted thnt such changes had been made as would put them into separate organizations, but urged that It would be possible for them to come Into white presby teries and synods. He sought also to show numerous other doctrinal dlffer- nces. Judge John M. Gault, of Nashville, Tenn., of the counsel for the unionist element, follows Mr. Underwood. With the dosing of the morning ses sion the hearing adjourned until Mon day morning. ILL DISTRICTS WANT SCHOOLS FOR FARMERS i‘Mn girl* enter the district agricultural ■rlinols?
