BELLWOOD CITIZENS
MAYEUTtBLAWSUITS
The almost Impassible condition of
Bellwood avenue will result. It Is un
derstood, In a nurobqy of suits by citi
zens along the * street against the
county and the street car company for
damage to property.
The latest development In the muddle
wae th* overturning and wrecking of
a large wagon belonging to the Atlanta
Milling Company Friday morning. By
Jumping ea the wagon overturned tho
negro driver escaped Injury, but th*
wagon wae wrecked and Its contents
scattered tilths mud.
One of the chief complaints of tha
residents and people who drive along
the street 1* that the street car men
ere absolutely Inconsiderate In running
tip on a vehicle Just when It Is making
one of the. number of perilous passages
and threatening a collision If the track
Is not cleared. An Ice wagon and sev
eral other vehicles have met with ac
cidents.
For two blocks the rood Is In a fear
ful condition. On one side Is the old
cay track along which th* wagons
drive. In tho center a ngw track Is
being laid, and on the other eld* are
a series ot ’din piles. In some placet
there ts enough clear mud to permit
wagons passing, but then It Is at a
hazard. This condition, the residents
ray, has lasted since April, when the
county and street car company (topped
work. ' .
On Friday a force of eight hands was
chrtlng sway some of th* dirt piles, but
1*’will ho a week before the street will'
be In a condition suitable for traffic.
ATLANTA’S OLDEST
SAVINGS BANK
KEEPS ON GROWING.
Figures show th* growing popular
Ity ot the Georgia Savings Bank and
Trust Company better than anything
els*. This old savings Institution was
organised during th* past century and
since Its opening day Its deposits have
baen constantly climbing higher. This
not only shows that people are sav
ing their money more, but tt shows
they have satisfied customers. Hun
dreds upon hundreds of grown people
end people that are not grown have
started their first bank account with
this strong Institution and the list Is
being dally added to. They had on de
posit:
August >. 1900 ..* 41,490.81
August >, 1901 74,702.87
August 4, 1902 97.849.S9
