He de clared the proper mark of appreciation had never been shown for this gift nor for that of Hon. G. V. Gross, who gavo the cyclnrama at the park and the zoo. The water system was taken up and President Poj>e declared It should be so managed and Improved as to for ever prevent even a whisper of private ownership. Municipal Ownership. "Too many of our public utilities,** said President Pope In tills connection, "are now In the hands of private cor porations. and I should like to sec a closer control of all such retained by the city. .We must never allow private ownership to control anything So vital to the future necessities.

HEA VY CAP1TALIZA 7ION IS CURSE OF RAILROADS, SA YS JOHN TEMPLE GRA VES In response to emphatic calls from the distinguished company at the an nual banquet of the Chamber of Com merce Tuesday # night, John Temple Grave*, editor of The Georgian, made an Impropmptu response that was given the closest possible attention and was warmly applauded at Its close. Mr. Graves was no! on the program of speakers and had not expected to address the compuny. After Mr. Han som’s speech. howeVer. there were re peated calls for him over the hall, and arising without preparation, he made an address which was cordially ap proved both for Its coherency, fairness and .force by ult present, Mr. Graves said. In part: “Mr. Chairman: I had not <*xpected to speak tonight and was fairly rioting, and rejoicing In the const lom-ness that | this was one happy occasion In which I should bear a.purely conversational and gastronomic part.

H hat those reasons are In this Instance I have no mean of knowing, and It would be simply Impertinent for me to indulge In speculation. I content myself with saying that the absence of either these gentlemen from any public occasion Is a misfortune, but the absence of both of them at the same time Is nothing less than a mu nicipal calamity.

This transportation problem Is the transcendent and all-absorbing Issue of this hour, pressing peculiarly upon us at this time, and In ths In terests and relations which are repre sented here, t could conceive of noth ing more appropriate and more educa tive than that we who represent the public Interests of thla great city should havu the opportunity of hearing, face to face, the most eminent and accepted authority which the South has given to that great question and to advise with him upon measures which are so vital to our future development and pros perity. It occurs to me that all broad minded men muat approve the spirit and the purpose of this occasion, and, for my own part, I think that the ( lumber of t’oinmerre. which has done so many wise and helprul things, has not recently done a wiser and more helpful thing than In bringing to this board a gentleman with whom at least we ran authoritatively discuss the greatest commercial questions which Involve our city and our people. "1 have listened with more than or dinary Interest to Mr. Finley's speech tonight, and I am glad to say now, as I huve said before, that I am deeply Impressed with the thorough earnest ness nail perfect sincerity which he has brought to this discussion. 1 be lieve that from his standpoint he haa given us a very able exposition of the railroad side of this question, and that his purpose Is genuine and kindly In the desire to establish better relations with the iienpls and to solve the prob lems which divide them and the eorpor. atlons. No other conclusion than this Is possible to any one who knows the previous record of perfect Integrity and of "cnlus and of generous public spirit In President Finley’s life. "I have neither time nor Inclination at this late hour to attempt u discus sion of this great railroad problem, which Is too vast for the limits or my speech and for the scope of this even ing's discussion. I trust I may be per mitted to say, In iierfect courtesy to Mr. Finley, that I appreciate the tre mendous difficulty with which he has to grapple. This Is one time nt least In the history of this country when the railroads are not In popular favor. It Is distinctly not their Innings In the arenn of our rommerelal life.

Cooper, to whose active work Is due a large share of the prosperity of the Chamber of Commerce, submitted at the banquet Tuesday night * brief report of the work of the past year, showing a re markable growth In the organisation. His report follows: At the beginning of 1906 the number of members was 440. The annual dues were raised by vote of tbe members on January II from Sio to |2n a year. This raused some to resign, but new members were brought In, and on March I. 1906. we hod a net Hat of 415. We now have 455 members, with n prospect of further Increase by the end if the year. The recelptn during the past year were 19.296. against 55.039 during 1905. The receipts for dues were 18.495, against 54.179. a little more than dou ble; while those from Initiation fees were 1100. against I860. At the beginning of 1906 we were ■erdrawn at bank to the amount of 191.89. At the rloso of the year. De cember 31. we had a hank balance of 11,451.43. after deducting all < otstand- 8ANDER8VILLE.

From the president and the people, through the cabinet and tie congress, the spirit of criticism and of iopposition seems unbroken. "No man ean deny what even the railroads have come tardily to confess, that the past mistaken policies of these great corporations have brought about this unfortunate condition of public feeling, and I am sure that no man tilled with common courtesy or ordi nary consideration could fall to appre ciate the difficulties with which the president of the Houthem railway and his comrades In executive authority upprnneh the problem of straightening out this tangle skein uf schedules and discrimination "And yet we who know- anything must realise that Ihe railroads have been the mighty benefactors of our country and Its prosperity. They have done great things for us In limes that are past. They have made two blades of grass to grow where only one has grown before. They have shot their side tracks along the platforms thousands uf factories that might never have been budded without their help and Inspiration. They have ItreU and fed the smokestack of thousands of mills, whose products might have been sleeping In their original state but for the developing hand of our great trans portation lines.
