1 THE ATLANTA GEORG TAX AXD NEWfe, STREET PASSES CUT Catarrh Every Common Car ls In cluded. rier On and after January 1 there will be an increased tendency among city and county policemen, city and county of ficials. office-holders and others to taboo street cars and give more play to their Itedal extremities except In. cases of dire emergency. For the order of the railroad commis sion issued Wednesday in reference to riding on free passes Includes every street car company operating in Geor gia Just as much as it applies to rail roads. and there Is no provision made for city official*, policemen and firemen who have been accustomed to enjoy the courtesy of the street car compa nies and pay no fare. “If there are those who do not Inter pret the order to apply to atreet rail roads," says the commission, "we will Issue a special order for their enlight enment." After this statement and aft er reading IMe order a second time, those who are skeptical will be con vinced. The order follows: “After the 31st day of December, 1907,- no railroad company or other common carrier, subject ta the Jurisdiction of the railroad commission of Georgia, shall be allowed to Issue or honor any free ticket, free pass or free intrastate transportation for passengers between any point* In this state, except upon the terms provided for Interstate free transportation by the act of congress approved June 29, 1906, known as the Hepburn act." Thus It happens that 170 uniformed city policemen. Si uniformed county policemen, 8 detectives. 145 firemen, 12 uniformed employees of the city con nected with the waterworks department nnd those members of council and others who have been allowed to ride free will either walk or pay car fare after the first of the year. For passes will not be good. Question is: Who will pay the car In nearly every city In the country special provision Is made for men In uniform employed by the city and their badges or uniforms are the only pass- porte required when they board a street car.

President Arkwright, of the'oeoiglii Railway and Electric Company, when asked for a statement concerning the anti-pass law and It* probable effect on the carrying of policemen, firemen and other city official, free of charge, said: “It aeems to me that the ruling as promulgated by the raltroud commis sion certainly include, city employees.

On Wednesday night Architect Tay lor wired Congressman Livingston that It would probably be Impossible to con struct the building with either marble or granite exterior, but that it could be built with a limestone exterior and tnarble interior. He further stated that a careful analysis of the alternates would be necessary In order to deter mine just what could be done. To Reviss Plsns. This means that it will be necessary to go over the plans and examine the bids asked for and received on various Hems of the specifications, which, If substituted for the original specifica tions. would tend to reduce the cost of the building. By economising In sopie features It might be possible, aeco/dlng to this telegram, to still have Georgia material on the outside r.nd for inside finishing. But Congressman Livingston has fig ured that Georgia marble nnd granite are possible under tile lowest bid al ready submitted, He points out that the original appropriation available for the building wus 81,000,000. "Deduct from that," ha said, "about 350.000 already expended; that leavea 3950,000. The McCaut bid of ,’iout 3840.000 would give us .a granite ex terior ami a marble Interior, leaving a surplus of 8110.000. We have figured on an allowance of 840,000 tor any thing that might come up. and this will atlll leave a net margin of 370,000. i Fundi for Furnishing. Congressman Livingston said that the electric wiring, fixture!, heating apparatus, elevators, superintendence and cost of plans would be covered by another appropriation, and that money from the present available appropria tion would not have to be uied. "We don’t want.” he aald, "thla build. Ing mmle of Indiana limestone. In the first place. It Is not durable and will disintegrate, and In the second we want the money spent at home with Georgia workmen. We want to patronise home Industries nnd let Georgia workmen get the money." Sam T. Vennble, of Venable Brothers, who put In a bid for the granite, dis cussed the proposition and Maid It was quite possible for Georgia material to be used. "Our bid," he said, "for the granite to be used In the exterior of the build- ‘ng was 3213.000 and was Die lowest. Granite has always been used In pref erence to other material, and In this case It Is cheaper than the bid for tin) marble—330.000 cheaper. What’s the use of using Inilluna limestone when this money will be spent among work men at H.tone Mountain who spend their money In Atlanta?" Mr. Venablo declared that while granite was more durable and better than marble tor exterior work It was easily possible under the McCaul bid to use Georgia granite for the exterior and tleorgla marble for the Interior and In this manner keep the money In the state. It was the opinion, too. of C. G. Bradt, of the Mile* & Bradt Co., ttv Atlanta contractors bidding on tho bunding, that the work could be done with Georgia material. He said that under the lowest bid announced It was Ills opinion that marble and graniio from Georgia could be used and still have a surplus. T Congressman Livingstons plans not meet the approval of Architect Taylor. It Is probable that the peoplo it Atlanta and Georgia will bring Irons preisure to hear to have noth ing but Georgia material used. Seven Firms Bid.
