DANIEL, President. 45-47-49 Peachtree-Opposite Walton St Copyright 190.* by Hart.Schaffner W Marx STRONG FIGHT ON EXTENSION PROMISED Continued from Pago On*. the proposed extension would involve the expenditure ot millions of dollars; that fully a million dollars is needed for city Improvements as the limits now are; that the people living In the present limits who have been paying taxes (or years have a first claim for paved streets nnd other city comforts. The petition concludes with the re quest tnat If council does insist upon extending the limits. It be submitted to the people before going into effect. Following Is the petition: Text of Petition. We. the signers hereof, as citizens, end taxpayers of the city of Atlanta, respectfully present the following rea sons why the proposed extension of the city limits of Atlanta should not 'be 1. By careful Inquiry It will be found that cities of approximately the same population as Atlanta, which have a large area Incorporated, are paying ex. cshIvs tax rates, whll. the cities which have a more restricted area are paying a much lower tax rata The reason of this Is clear. It costa as much to pave streets and lay sewor pipes and water mains along a thinly populated section as In one that Is thickly popu lated. The same is substantially true of lire and police protection, and meas urably true of schools. With the thin ly populated area once Incorporated, the city is powerless thereafter to narrow the limits of the city. The burden once • assumed must be car ried. 3. It is well known that the exten sion ot the city limits as proposed will tlllons for water mains, trunk sewers and street paving alone. The newly acquired districts would Insist upon these Improvements and the city would be bound to conatruct them. 3. It Is also well known that the city la greatly In need of about one million dollars for building school houses, pav ing, laying sewers and water mains, „„„„„„„„ . ... —. „. . within the present city limits. It Is ex- t Summers, W. L. Barrett. E. A. Whlta In any case, we urge that such an amendment contain a provision that the extension shall be submitted to the people for popular vote before going into effect. O. E. Currier. J. S.

By the Invention of a hlp-flt waist band that really answers the purpose of belt or suspenders and Is un im provement on both, L. C. Stanford, a young business man of Atlanta, and member of the well-known firm of Levy & Stanford, haa accomplished some thing which has been attempted Jn vain by hundreds of aspirants before, and which will probably bring about a small revolution In the clothing bust nsa. His achievement In Inventing th^ walatband Is probably no more remark able than his achievement In secur ing a patent, forming a'stock company, establishing n factory, and actually se curing trade within threo months after the Inception of the Idea. Among the many letters of encour ogement and of commendation, Mr. Stanford prises none more highly than that of John W. Glbaon, the big mogul of The Haberdasher, the standard mag. ftslne' of clothiers and tailors. He wrote: Pleaso send me six 'hip-fit* waist bands. I want to bava them Inserted In my trousers aa the one I have has given such perfect satisfaction.'* A tlmllar letter and even more en couraging and commondatory In Its terms was a recent communication from the E'alrchlld Company, publish ers of Meet's Wear and Chicago Ap parel Gazette. All the trade Journals have publUhed articles on Mr. Stan ford's Invention. The band Is being advertised In all the standard national magaalnes, such aa Everybody's, The Saturday Evening Post and Uncle Remna’s.
