2 INSURANCE RATES MAY GO UP. ATI/.WTA LIKF.U TO SUFFER FOR HER BAD \V VTER WORKS. litKiirnnrr >l©n Ilnve th** Mntler l n dor (onitiderfltien —Defective Wa ter IVoi'Un l'nls Them to a Great Diaadvnn ••—The Trouble I* Be ing InveNtignteil Doth In the < iti zenn nn*l by Atlanta'* ( oitneil. Atlanta, July 26.—Spurred up and put on their mettle by the action •: mo citi zens’ mass meeting 1 appointing .1 commit tee to investigate the audition of the Atlanta water works, the City Council Committee, which was appointed ton d.iys • gro met this morning for the first time. The committee me! in s* ret and refus ed to givo out anything in regard to its work. The Citizens' Committee held a •eerct meeting to-night und aiso declined to give out what it did. The two com mittees are w orking independently of each other, as each is trying to get at the bot tom of the trouble, it is altogether likely that the truth will come out. Insurance rates in Atlanta may go up sharrply and at once, if the water works system is not improved. The Executive Committee of the Southeastern Tariff As sociation met to-day at Asheville, and will discuss the recent breaks in Atlan ta’s water works. The committee is com posed of well-known insurance men. Among those attending the session to-day from Atlanta are H. C. Stockdell, 1.. O. Fletcher. Charles W. Phillips. J. S. Kamo and Don P. Harris. Wny liierennr the Rate*. It is understood by insurance men gen erally that the committee will estimate the increased rate necessary to protect ( insurance companies, while the extra hazard of imperfect water works is on in Atlanta, and will hold the rate sub- i Ject to the action of Atlanta’s authorities in the serious premises. If something is not done at once to relieve the risk to insurance companies, the new rate will J he probably put in force by oil the com panies. It is understood as a well estab lished proposition that there is on ext-a risk to insurance companies in the pres- , ent condition of Atlanta’s water works, j Chief Joyner's well organize<l depart- j meni was handicapped in n serious man ner during the recent famine. Had n fire broken out the. c hances to put it out were slight. Dosses are inestimably small er than they would have been under or dinary circumstances. when the plant is running regularly. No business in the city was more liable to serious loss than the insurance companies. This is the gen eral opinion of oil the insurance people. Atlanta's Are. record for the fiscal year has been exceptionally good, and At lanta citizens have derived the benefit of the corresponding low rates from in surance companies. A number of com panies in Atlanta write as much as $lO,- 000 In premium receipts. This indicates that very large lines are carried by in dividual companies. The Executive Committee dealt with the same problem of imi>erfee* water works in Augusta recently. The authorities there promptly perfected their system, end the increased rates contemplated by the committee wa9 not put in force. BURIAL FIM) INVESTIGATED. Chief I.ovrry of Sanitary Department Talks \bont It. Atlanta. July 26.—Investigation of the aanltary department burial fund by a committee of the Federation of Trades resulted last night in a mighty sensational report. The committee reported that from evl- ' dence submitted Andrew* Cook, alleged to be a clerk in the department, was lending money 10 the employes and charging them 20 per cent, per week interest, but the n veli*<t Ikm co-ony j>ed the fact that Cook is not an employe of the depariment. He rune a grocery store near the head quarters arid hns been doing business with the men who w’ere hard up. Chief Lowry said to-day that so far as the burial fund was concerned he did not propose to be investigated by the Commit tee of the Federation of Trades. He said he was ready at any moment to be inves tigated by the Hoard of Health. The chief said he had collected in ad about S3OO and he believed he had paid out about $lB 1n excess of the amount received, as there had been a great many deaths. In each case of death $lB was paid from the fund When a society conducted the funeral the benefit was paid to the family anyway. The chief said he had a complete state ment from one of the undertakers who was patronized, hut another had not yet furnished a statement, although he had asked for it. It is not true ihe chief says th*U the money has been taken from the pay every week. wants to be librarian. Mm. W. 1 . Atkiitfton n Cll nd i<lti to for • lie \ ppn In 1111 cut. Atlanta, July 26 -Mrs. W. T. Atkinson, widow of the late Gov. Atkinson, will he a candidate for appointment as state libra rian. For several months past, Mrs. Atkinson has been engaged in the insurance business, end has met with great success. She lives at tier home in NTewnan. and conducts the business from that point. She will rpake an active can vase for the appointment. Under the law of Georgia, a woman can be appoint ed to the i*>sition of librarian, and it Is the intention o-f Mrs. Atkinson to make a strong fight for it. It is not known Just yet whether Librarian Brown will be a candidate for re-appointment. Gov. Candler has heen receiving appli cations for appointment to the position for several days past, but ns the term of Mr Brown does not expire until Septem ber, 1901, it is very likely that the ap pointment will not be made until fomo lime next year.

Ga., July 26.—1 t is probable that Maj. W. G. Raoul, president of the Mexican National Railway, will succeed Mr. John E. Wadley a© president of the Waycross Air Line Railroad.

Ixirge supplies of new rails are being shipped out over the Air Line for the building of th© extension lo Fitzgerald. The Air Line people have decided in favor of Fitzgerald, and the extension will be made to that point as rapidly us possi ble. Ocilla may not be left out entirely, however, as it is quite likely n seven mile spur will be built, connecting with that town also, provided the people there make proper effort to secure it. Work is being pushed on the extension. A large force is laying track between Lake and Vickers, and the grading is being pushed between Vickers and Fitzgerald. It is probable the Air Line people will take Christmas dinner in the Colony City. The experience of the Satilla Manufac turing Company in re-icing fruit and vegetables nt this point tho post season, haw heen very satisfactory, and it is like ly that they will put in a large plant, making this an important ro-lring station. They will have storage room with ca pacity of about 500 tons. INCREASED TAX RETIRES. Tattnall and Montgomery Connties Take the Lend So Far.
