THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN.
A Duty.
Wo beg the City Council to excuse us,
■while wo modestly venture a suggestion.
It is that the main thoroughfares leading
into the city should be fully graded and
macadamized. It is believed that more
work on these great arteries of trade and
less on the interior portions of the city
would be a paying operation; and we cite
the improvement on Marietta street in
has paid out over $38,000 in useless fees
to lawyers—mostly for services which
were not necessary, or, if in any case
necessary, the Attorney General should
have attended to the business entirely.
Fire at Gridin.
the entire block but for the energy of
the Fire Department. Mr. Roberts was
a dealer in groceries and provisions, and
Messrs. H. C. Burr & Son dealt in stoves
and house-furnishing goods. We have
heard no estimate of the losses, nor do
we know whether those who sufleredwere
insured.
GEORGIA .LEGISLATURE.
FOURTEENTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
We learn that quite a serious fire oc
curred in Griffin about midnight Wednes
day night. It destroyed the stores of
confirmarion*of - this. Before it Was so] W * H - Roberts and H. C. Bnrr & Son,
handsomely pat in order and covered | Hill street, and would have destroyed
with cinders, over a year ago, it was, per-
jjnps, the muddiest street in the city-
becoming almost impassable for vehicle,
beast or man, in winter. It was popularly
called Miryetta. street. Now, it is one of
our best streets—only excelled by those
which are paved with stones; and this has
improved the travel, enhanced the value
of real estate and largely increased the
trade on that street and added to the
general business of the city.
Now, if the city can afford nothing
more, it seems to us it would be good
policy to put put Peachtree, Decatur,
McDonongb, Whitehall, Peters and
Mitchell in this condition. If all these
Btreets were all well graded, and relieved
of winter mud for two miles out, the
city trade would bo improved very large
ly, and the people of the country who
trade to this point would visit this mar
ket with far more satisfaction.
Peters street is, in some respects, the
most important thoroughfare leading
into this city. More cotton comes
along that street than all others to
gether, and a larger country produce
every way comes to ns through that chan
nel than any other street in the city. In
winter it has been excessively muddy—
sometimes being impassable for buggies
and wagons. Since the Street Railroad
has been built, tbe street is in a condition
to become a dreadful mire from one end
to the other, and the rains of winter will,
no doubt, render it impossible to travel
over.
Some time ago the Council very prop
erly ordered the widening and otherwise
improving of this street from Barrack’s
Avenue to the city limits. The line was
defined by the surveyor and the
assessments of the property and
awards to owners made, but the
work is not yet done. The Street Rail
road in front of Col. G. W. Adair’s has
left no street for ordinary travel, and a
wide slice of his front grounds has been
marked off to be converted into a street.
He has moved in bis fence and removed
his trees, and is waiting for tho work of
the street hands before completing bis
fencing, and has been waiting a long
time. Meanwhile, the streets at that
( point would be a quagmire, if a week’s
rain should take place.
Of course the city cannot do all the
work at onco that is necessary to be done,
and no one expecls this. The only point
we present is, that these great thorough
fares, above all other street work, should
be specially kept in order; and if any
thing has to go undone, it should be
some of the streets not so much used for
the trade of tho city upon which our
prosperity depends.
These are some of the thoughts which
occurred to us yesterday, in taking a
trip on'the street car to West End and
returning. We have plared them in our
columns for what they are worth, re
spectfully inviting attention to the same.
Humors and Reports.
The Columbus Sun says that H. L
Kimball, E. L. Jones, W. D. Cook and
Lewis Scofield, Directors of the Colum
bus and Atlanta Air-Line Railroad, have
resigned; also, that Mr. K. has resigned
the office of President of the Company.
Upon the reorganization, Hon. James M.
Smith, Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives, becomes one of the Board. 11
The Sun also reports that the Kimball
House is soon to be sold under a build
er’s lien of $100,000.
It is stated that Henry Clews & Co.
will take hold of the Brunswick and Al
bany Railroad and complete the some
without delay; that this step is a necessi
ty—no other way being left for Clews &
Co. to make themselves whole, on ac
count of advances made to Mr. Kimball.
Also, that the Cartersville and Van Wert
Railroad will be completed by Clews &
Co. for similar reasons.
No one hears anything of Mr. H. J.
Kimball’s whereabouts uow-a-duys. It
would have been better for Lim if lie
hod. remained here and faced the music.
It is believed that Governor Bullock
has left the United States, and that he
will not return to Georgia as long as he
is at liberty to go in another direction.
Those Big Commissions.
The Constitution of yesterday, in pub
lishing the account of Henry Clews &
Company, made the commissions
charged amount to only $72,802.33. This
is only the commission charged on the
account connected with the sale of Bol
lock’s gold bonds, and does not inclnde
over $20,000 charged for transactions in
old bonds. The true amount of commis
sions charged is, as stated by us tbe day
before, over $93,000. The interest and
commissions charged by Mr. Clews on
account of State bond transactions is
over $130,000.
Bollock was heavy on paying large
commissions and big fees. Besides this
claim of Clews & Co., he caused $10,000
in. cash to be paid to John Rice, of the
Georgia National Bank, for commissions
in negotiating State bonds.
As before stated in these columns, he

laws of this State relating to justices’
courts, prepared by S. C. McDaniel; car
ried.
The resolution was taken up and con
curred in.
Mr. Nicholls offered a resolution that
a committee of two from the Senate and
three from the House be appointed to
inquire into the actual cost of the public
printing, and that they shall report to
this General Assembly such change of
section 1038 of the Code as to them shall
seem best for the State and the Public
Printer; adopted.
House resolution, extending tbe time
for the collection of taxes for the present
year until the 25th of December, as a
substitute adopted by the Senate extend
ing tbe time sixty days was taken up.

tion as a bad precedent, and unjust to
those persons who have already paid
their taxes.

inately the resolution.
Mr. Bbock hoped the motion would
not prevail.
The motion was carried standing.

eral Assembly should go into the election

token up.

the ground that another and better me
thod is now pending in the Senate, which
proposes to dispose of the public print
ing in an economical manner and avoids
the disposition of the same for partisan
purposes.
Mr. Simmons favored the resolution.
Mr. Wellborn moved to strike out the
portion of the resolution relating to the
election of State Printer, believing that
the report of the Committees on Print
ing should be first heard.
Mr. Burns contended that the rates
could not be changed after the Public
Priuter has been elected. He thought
that the compensation is as small os it
Bhoald be, and that the existing laws on
the subject could not be improved.

the view taken by Mr. Bacon, and thought
that there were some practical printers
who would be better judges of the rates
to be paid than the standing Committees
on Printing.

lution was put. The yeas and nays were
called, with the following result—yeas,
59 ; nays, 80.
