Ruskm says: “W? are not sent into this world
te de anything unto which ws cannot put our
hearts. We have certain work to do for our
bread, and that is to bs done strenuously; other
w°rk te do for our delight, and that is to bs dene
heartily; neither is to be dene by halves er shifts,
but with a will; and what is het worth ths
effort is net to be dons at all.”
The application of these well-known principles,
so beautifully put by Ruskin, can be applied to store
keeping, we find.
An unceasing effort to produce the best values

particularly the western side, to become
annexed to Fulton county. Those peo
ple are practically unanimous In their
desire to come Into Fulton county and
become a part of our county ns well as
city. With the matter of enlarging the
county, your committee, of course, has
no concern, but It Is an Important fact
that the movement has originated and
Is being conducted entirely by cltlxens
of IteKalb. Consequently, your com
mittee Is of the opinion that the exten
sion to Decatur and the contiguous ter
ritory as Indicated on the blue print
should bo made, as this extension would
probably lead to an extension of the
limits of Fulton county and the ulti
mate building of an excellent system of
public roads lending out of Atlanta In
every direction through the added terri
tory. The terms required are, under all
the circumstances, reasonable and the
population to be brought In by the an
nexation of Decatur and Its surround
ing territory, as well oa the large
amount of taxable property to be add
ed to the taxable property of Atlanta,
will be ample compensation for thla ex
tension.
UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES.
East Atlanta,
This Is a populous community south
of Edgowood, with a population esti
mated at about 1.200 to 1,500, and a
large amount of taxable property. The
people of this community desire to be
Incorporated with Atlanta, and ask only
to become a part of the city. They
make no conditions and ask for noth
ing. Of course they would expect to be
Included In some manner In the new
wards'to be laid out and In that way
to have their proper representation In
council.
East End.
This Is another community east of
Kirkwood, embracing a large portion of
the territory between Kirkwood and
Decatur, with a population estimated
at 1.000 to 1,200, a large amount of
taxable property, also an excellent
class of cltlxens. These people desire
also to be Included In the annexation,
and nsk no concession and name no
conditions upon which they are to coma
In.
In the opinion of your committee,
thla territory, aa well as East Atlanta,
lies well within the bounds to which
the city limits should be extended. It
Is unincorporated and would constitute
a portion of one of the new wards.
South Atlanta.
This community Is unincorporated
and haa a very large population, aa
well aa a large amount of tax values.
The population Is largely colored. It
should bo embraced In the extended
limits of the city, because It Is natur
ally a part of the city, and for the ad
ditional reason that It Is almost a nec
essity that this section be under the
police control of Atlanta.
Other Territory. .
After a personal Inspection and
careful consideration of the romalnlng
territory shown on the blue print out
side of the Incorporated towns, your
committee hae reached the conclusion
that all of this territory should bo In
corporated with the city of Atlanta,
that the population, taxable property
and proximity to the center of the city
proper, render It desirable from every
point of view to be Incorporated with
the enlarged city.
Your committee has carefully ex
cluded from the limits all territory
which It was possible to exclude, with
due regard for regularity and shape
and where the population and property
values do not afford aufflclent Induce
ment to Include such territory In the
extended limits.
Objections.

have raised objection to the annexation
other than la shown In the blue print
attached, and. therefore, recommends
ths extension of the city limits along
those lines.
Taxation,
In the matter of taxation, your com
mittee Is strongly .of the opinion that
If should be the policy of the city of
Atlanta to deal with the outlying terri
tory and Interests to be annexed In a
fair and equitable manner. In regard to
taxation. No exomptlon from taxation
con or ought to be granted, but It
would not be wise to tax unreasonably

committee I* adviced, there
oua objection from any cource to pn
ncxatlon of the territory Indicated, ex
cept from that portion known
Brookwood and torn of the mnnufac'
turing and other clmllar Interests lo
ealed Just outside the present city llm
Its. The manufacturing interest* are
largely In the territory known ar
Conk's district, which contains a popu
latlon of 11,000 to 15,000 people.
Your committee Is convinced that,
notwithstanding these objections, all
of this territory should be embraced In
the proposed extension. Many of these
manufacturers have enjoyed years of
Immunity from city taxation, although
by reason of their location and th«
large population surrounding them,
they constitute an essential part of
the city's population and wealth. For
the great advantages which they en
Joy the city ahould derive a reasonable
revenue from these Interests to help
sustain the city government and oth-
irwlee contribute to tho general public
good. It te the opinion of your com
mittee that the extenelon proposed will
work no hardship upon these manufac
turing enterprises, and that they will
derive from the annexation corres
ponding benefits far In excess of the
axes which they will be required to
P Tlie objection that cornea from Brook,
wood Is largely that of private cltlsene
who now enjoy all the advantages of
the cuy and whose objections, when
analysed, amount to nothing more than
a desire to avoid the payment of city
taxes. The committee is of the opinion
that the territory should be extended
In accordance with the line* shown on
the blue print*. The city’s growth
should not be retarded by private In
terests. Municipal advancement can
not yield to peraonal convenience. If
these people, by reason of their prox
imity to the city, are able to enjoy
the privileges which are Afforded by
the elty. then the city la entitled to a
reasonable support from these people.
Atlanta proper contains a very large
population. In previous census reports
she has not received the benefit of her
real population, because of the small
territory embraced within the corporate
limits. In the next census she ought to
have the benefit of everything that
eroperly belongs to the city, because
she I* entitled to It. This la a material
advantage for all the people, and even
though In some Individual case this
annexation should work a hardship,
which your commute* does not believe
will follow. Individual intercut* should
yield to those of the general public.
Your committee ean find neither sub
stantial reason nor sufficient excuse

population, the wages of which aro
spent In tho city weekly. The same
Is true In regard to much of the subur
ban territory to be annexed. It should
bo tho policy of the city, acting through
Its tax assessors, to assess such prop
erty reasonably and In accordance with
the purpose for which It Is used. The
extension of the city limits should never
furnish any excuse for exacting from
the manufacturing Interests surround
ing Atlanta or suburban property em
braced within the proposed extension
burdensome taxation or vexatious reg
ulations. The greatest asset that the
city of Atlanta enjoys le her manu
facturing entorprlees, and no policy
should bo adopted which would have
the effect of placing unduo burdens or
restriction* upon those enterprises. On
the contrary, the city should, as far as
It le possible to do eo, encourage such
enterprises and lighten their burdens,
■o as to enable them to build up and
expand, because by their growth the
wealth of the city le Increased and the
individual cltlxens us a wbola are the
beneficiaries.
Population.
From the beet estimate that your
committee has been able to obtain, the
territory embraced within the outlines
shown on the bluo print, will odd be
tween 40,000 and 50,000 to Atlanta's
population, and a corresponding
amount of revenue producing proper
ty. Your committee la confident that
the addition of this territory and pop
ulatlon which Is naturally and logic
ally a port of the city Itself, will place
Atlanta far In the lead of other South
ern cities, with the single exception of
New Orleans. The desire for suprem
acy which exists ao generally among
our people Is not merely one of senti
ment. It centers Into the very busi
ness lire of the community. One of
the greatest assets that the city of At
lanta has ever enjoyed Is the enormous
advertising which she has had from
being known as the leading Southern
town. New Orleana being regarded as
somewhat western. Until the last
census she enjoyed this distinction.
She can regain thp first place, which
waa lost by the last census, by taking
In simply that which Is her own. If
she neglects this opportunity. It Is
highly probable that she will be rele
gated to fourth, fifth, or possibly sixth
place In the group of Southern cities—
not because those cities have grown
ony faster than Atlanta, but because
they are all preparing lo enlarge their
territory In order to enatch from this
city the leadership.
Your committee feels that the loss
of prestige would mean tremendous
financial loss In the years to come,
while the distinction of leading among
Southern cities will bo tho means of
Inducing population nnd enormous
financial growth In the future. Apart
from sentiment, your committee has
an abiding conviction that the finan
cial benefits to be derived from the
extension

Taxable Property.
Aceordlng to the beet eetimete your
committee lias been able to make, the
taxable property within the territory
proposed to be annexed, including rail
roads and property of'other corpora
tions, will easily amount to twenty
million dollar#, probably more. The
income from this property ehoi
more than sufficient to take ci
the Initial expentes conneoted with
extension of tho elty limits, Thla in
itial expense will doubtless extend over
a period of several years, and during
that time your committee is unable to
■oe where the present elty will be called
r n to contribute any great amount
money to carry out tho several
agrssmants arrived at with surround
ing municipalities. After the initial
expense shall have been disposed of,
your oommittoo io of tho opinion that
the territory to be annexed will be more
then self.sustaining from its taxss, and
in a fsw years will become Important
contributors to tho city's oxehoquor.
Bond lieues.
Your committee Is eatlsfied that the
people of the various outlying munlch
polities will. If requested to do so;
wherever conditions will permit, each
vote an additional Issue of bonds euf.
flolent to cover In part at least the ex
pense of Improvements which they de.
sire made. Theee bonds to be provided
for In the act of annexation or other
legislation and to be Issued and aold
before such municipalities are taken In
the limits of Atlanta, the bonds thus
Issued to be aesumed by the city of At.
lama when annexation shall actually
be made.
Your committee Is furthermore of the
opinion that the Initial expense which
the city of Atlanta will assume for Im
provements, tentatively agreed upon
with committees representing the va
rious municipalities, need not and
should not all be made at once, but

that tba earns should be made as rapid
ly as conditions will permit, all of said
Improvements to be completed within
a period of not exceeding five years
from the date of annexation.
Your committee recommends that
there be Incorporated In the agreement
for annexation the provision that bonds
will be voted by the people of such mu- -
nlclpalltles where the same con be
done, upon the request of the city of
Atlanta, and that ths expense for Im
provements to be made by the city of
Atlanta In the preeent municipalities
■hall, If necessary, extend over a period
not exceeding five years, a proportion- |
ate amount of such expenditures to bo
made each year during said period.
Rearrangement of Wards.
Your committee Is of tho opinion that
the wards of the enlarged city ahould
be arranged according to population,
and that the city council of Atlanta,
with the aseletance of the etty engineer,
can better decide upon the lines of
these wards than this committee. The
city engineer will be able to gather
data and furnlel. the necessary Infor
mation for redlsMctlng the city, which
at present are not available, and youi
committee, therefore, recommends that
the rearrangement of these wards b<
referred back to the city council of Ab
lanta for determination.
