any a rects. m l should tin experiment

Aldermen II ts and Jarrell both stated
ycsierday that they favored the proposed
move, but feu that a matt* r *f such im
portsn* should la- thoroughly ill- usset
before t iking action. Aideiman llorrlgan
arid <hat he voted for the r*-rolutlon un
der a mlsapprehnnsion, understanding
that It referrtd only to the square on Itoir
nard street, just south of Broughton. 1
win* h Is almos* entirely surround*-*! by
business houses and public buildings.
"E am not in favor of opening through
the squares generally," said Alderman
Horngan. "and I find that the people in j
my <*tion of 4he city ur generally op- ,
posed to such ii move."
A Herman Jhornan m opposed to th**
move because he Is doubtful of the effect
which such a change in the nppearanc*
of the squares would have and because I**
thinks it would be greatly to the Inconven
ience of the people whose houses front
upon th** squares amt who would be prac
tically shut off from •cress lo the front
of their hou*iw. I** Ing compelled to make
use of th* side streets. Where then* aie
nn*t“ thsn two houses to a Mo* k fronting
the square this ituonventencf would be
¥• ry decided. I
"Th** squares ar** pretty and attractive
nnd In h* proper shape now." said Maytrr
Myers, * and the best thing to do Is to
keep them Just a** they are. Our people
take grut pride in their square*, as It Is
r.ght they should, and any change which
wotnd m*r their lieauty w*oukl be a very
serious loss to the city. I think Aider
man Dixon will find the opposition to his
move very general."
Th** general Impression among many of
those who oppose any change In the pres
ent status of the squares, seems to be
that the proposed change wouM destroy
the benuty of the squares and thus re
move one of the distinctive f* stores of
the city. Alderman Dixon and those who
regard his move with favor say that this
lmpresiuw is entirely erroneous. Instead
of Injuring the squares in any wav. they
say that the result would be to greatly
Increase th*lr attractiveness and to make
them a still more distinctive feature of
the city than they are at present lli
sitrad of decreasing the area devoted to
the squares within each quadrangle, the
griuare jre* would In* consldcijl.ly in
creases! It obviously requires less space
for ons street than two, even though the
one be wider than either of the two. n*l
the rounded corners of the squares now
throw considerable unnecessary spare In
the streets which under the new plan
would b** taken up In the squares The
plan for Calhoun square, which has been
on exhibition In Director Gadsden's off!* e
for several months, shows that by throw
ing out the corners of the squares to the
adjacent property lines on the east nnd
west an* additional area f I!.•>■ square
feet of space can be obtained for tsrk
purpose* while at the same time allowing
a street 65 feet In width through the cen
ter
That the carrying out of the plan would
make a considerable change in the .qe
pearanee of the squares la not denied
hut that It Is claimed that this change
would b* considerably for the lietter In
ate and of each square containing park
in the center encircled ty strf**ts, th *
aqur*s would contain two i*arks dlvldtht
by a wide street with sidewalks on each
aide, the parka xtending to the property
Hi e H on the wist and west, but not on th*

through each square, open for truf

woo'd grwa'ly tncr**ve the value of the

than offset any Inconven en* e resulting
from rutting off Irnm !late acceae to the

Anot’er ndvan an of course. Is that

squares it 'e possible to pave them

It Is very likely that the difficulties at
tending the rebuilding of the Chatham
A* adeiny have been overcome. It is
pio|*osed to modify the architect’s plans
by substituting wood st.ilr-cases for those
*if ir* . and also to leave off the observa
tory.
It U expected that with these change**
the coat of the building will be within the
means of the trustees of the academy
If In the future the funds permit of It. the
original plan <tn be carried out. Not
building the observatory or cupola will
save in ih*- cost of th* building. As
that Is something that can readily he dis
pensed with, no one will find fault if It
Is not built for years to come. What Is
needed i.ow is more school room, un*t
that the trustees of the academy propose
giving with*mii uelay.
The consumtna’lon of this promised so
lution of the difficulties that I ave alter <l
- the rebuilding of th** Academy wII
prove n source of considerable satisfac
tion and relief to Superintendent Ashmore,
who ho i to bear the brunt of the com
plaints from dlSMitlstlc.l parents, anxious
to have their children admitted to th %

•ept In case of n* *ff*lty, during the lit**
hours of ihe night and the early hours of

"The manner of operating the cars dur

nuisance to the residents along the lines.
