Key has drafted resolution which he will Introduce In council at the adjourned meeting Tuesday afternoon calling attention to the fact that the Atlanta Northern Railway Company, which operates the street car line to Marietta, Is using a franchise to run Its passenger and ex press cere over 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 Alderman Key. He wants the city attorney to take the matter up and 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 Is using a public franchise to run Its passenger and ex press cars over the streets of the city of Atlanta; and. whereas, said com pany has no permission of the munlct pat authorities to exercise such rights, and the city doea not receive any com penaatlon therefore, "Resolved by the mayor and general council of the city of Atlanta, That the city attorney be 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, and report what the rights of said company are to the 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 Hietory. Behind the name of the Atlanta Northern Ball way Company there le little etory. It dates back to the time when the Atlanta Rapid Transit Company and t(te Atlanta Consolidated Htrnet Railway Company really did consolidate. There w$* a clause In serted In the permission given by coun cil stipulating that the conaolldated ty was to pay the .city 2 1-2 pci come tax. Thle was agreed to. Tha city haa been getting Its Income tax regularly. But when It came to building the Atlanta Northern Railway Company the Income tax was a consideration. Bo It was decided to change the name of the company. Therefore, the At lanta Northern. The Georgia nallway and Electric Company owns the Atlan ta Northern Railway Company. The formality of securing a franchise 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.

W. Sullivan and competent corps of carpenters. Ths obstacle to breeze and beauty la a work of art from the view point of an Iconoclast. Back of It there not only the skeleton of a two-story structure, but the framework of quite a little history. ■ • Many years ago W. M. Scott, at pres ent one of the beat known real estate dealers of the city, who has his office nt 73 North Broad street, purchased the lot at the comer of Gtsnn and Grant streets. The lot extended back some 200 feel on Glenn street and had a frontage of 150 feet on Grant. In purchasing the lot Mr. Scott put In the deed the proviso that no house be tween the residence he would build and the corner of Georgia avenue should extend closer than 50 feet to the side' walk. He then built his home, a 15. room, 3-story, stone and frame build. Ing of elaborate design. Things went well. Across the street three other houses were erected, all 2-story and some dis tance back from the atdewalk. l/.i-se were occupied by E. P. Burns, K. P. King and the Messrs. Redded, start ing from Glenn street and running to ward Georgia avenue. At the comer of Georgia avenue there was erected a Presbyterian church. After several years It was derided by the trustees of the church to sell a portion of the church lot. 8. \Y. Sullivan bought It and erected a smalt cottage near the street line, thus cutting oft the view of the other houses and giving a ragged appearance to that side of the street. Mr. Scott in consultation with ths owner* of the three houses arrogp the street, declared that he would object to the cottoge. This got to the ears of Mr. Sullivan. . loiter Mr. Sullivan bought the lot next to the Scott home and also the third tot from the home. On the lat ter he built a frame house ohd ex tended a large heavy porch over the stipulated 50-foot line. E. 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 Atlantic City, Mr. Scott was surprised to see the framework of a house next to hlo. He found that the builder was Mr. Sul livan, and sent him n letter stating that he would not allow the house to be built over the 50-foot line. Mr. Sul livan continued to build and the house extended seven feet past the tins. Mr. Scott held a consultation with his at torneys anti 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 Mra. Scott, who had been away from their residence during the day, returned and were again surprised. Between their property and the Sullivan property was the 18x50-font "spite fence." Mrs. Scott was told by her servants that Mr. Sul livan had set his entire corps of car penters at 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 8 to show cause why he should not tear down the portion of his structure which extende over the 50-foot line.
