FROM ATLANTA'S MAYOR.
"I don't believe the city of Atlanta has
been damaged by prohibition. The places
that were formerly occupied by the
IvkloVon W . _ll V
niiianE/ oaiuuus uatc an uecu renieu UL
equally as good or better prices to the
near-beer dealers, or other lines of business.
Real estate values have not decreased
in Atlanta during the one year
and a half of prohibition, but on the contrary,
they have been fully maintained,
and are today the highest in the history
of our city. Building permits to the
amount of $3,714,573 have been issued
during the past seven and a half months
of 1909, which exceeds any corresponding
period of any other year. The prohibition
law is being enforced in Atlanta.
The blind tiger, where whiskey is illegally
sold, is hard to tind, and I believe
the number of them is decreasing. The
arrest of 354 blind tigers attests the fact
that the law is being enforced. As to the
statement frequently made that the pro
hibition law can not be enforced where
public sentiment is against it, I desire to
say that in my opinion, an honest, and
courageous police judge, backed by a
mayor of the same kind and by superior
court judges who also believe in the enforcement
of the law, will in cities of
100,000 to 200,000 inhabitants, very soon
create public sentiment which will stop
the illegal sale of whiskey or reduce it
to a minimum. A study of the arrests
shows that the drunks are far behind the
times of the whiskey saloon. A great
deal of whiskey is being legally shipped
into the city from other states ....
and many cases of drunkenness may be
attributed to this source of supply." This
is the significant testimony as to the influence
and effectiveness of state prohibition
in the metropolis of Georgia, given
by Hon. Robert F. Maddox. Mavor of At
lanta, Georgia, in an address before the
League of American Municipalities at
Montreal, Canada, Tursday, August 26. In
his address, Mayor Maddox detailed at
length the experience of the municipal
administration with the prohibition law
and emphatically disproved the many
stories circulated by the liquor men alleging
disorder and failure as following
in the wake of prohibition in Georgia's
capital city. "At the coming national census
in 1910, Atlanta will go over her record
of 89,0(fo to the neighborhood of 150,000,"
asserted Mayor Maddox, "and will
easily retain her deserved title as 'Gate
City of the South,' and metropolis of our
southeastern section."
