October 20, 1909. TH] Temperance 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."
