Thera la that areat quaallon of city extension, which Iho council of 1907 very kindly and considerately referred to the council of 1*41. The committee that worked for month* perfecltna this achame of city extenaton la composed of aom* of the beat men, the moat proml- ntnt and the moat puihlnr. powerful man In tha community, and when they shove their united ahouldera to tha wheel somethlna I* aolna to turn or sometbtna la a»lna to break.

Then there la our old friend, popular election of city officials, which th* council of lto; hast .'date moat adroitly sidetracked from meellna to meetlna until It la aettlna io be one of the standlna Joke* amona the "wlae ones" at the cltv hall.

If It do** com* to a vote, the ex- prea.lon of the people—about I to 1 for—la almost certain to be enected Into law. And they'll be weartna coal- colored hatband* at th* city hall In th* mornina.

The mayor says that Isn't worth havlqa which Isn't worth fighting for, and he announce* that he la aolna to roll up hla sleeves and put on ovaralls when h* enter* th* scrimmage for that City hall-court house before the council of IMS. Something herd and heavy la liable to drop anent this "propo It la extremely unlikely that the council of 1*47 will take any action on the resolution providing for the charter revision commission, and this will be a casus belli—or word* to that effect—next yenr. Thle commlaelon will lake up, a* well aa other mailer*, th* abolition of de partmental boards and utlier board matter*, not to mention the possibility of government by commission, which several councilman are said to look upon with favorable eye*. Council of 1147 has managsd so far to avoid voting on the resolution by Councilman Huddleston, providing for the erection of n public comfort build ing, which the councilman says Is the royal straight flush of Atlanta's needs, ■mil which ha furthermore say* he will push forward to n successful culmln*. tlon before he leaves office. The erection of a Joint city and coun ty hospital I* to be wished by nearly everybody. Councilman Longlno la the man behind this particular gun. Tha ra-pavlng of Marlatta street with Belgian block* ha* not yet been sprung. Repeve Marietta Street. Councilman-elect W. T. Winn, of the Fifth ward, says he Is going to Intro duce a resolution at th* first session of th* council of t»4l—which, by th# way. will be th* night of the first Mon day In January—providing for the re paving of this street for about two miles, and he think* the council will adopt It with little dissension. He has assurances that the county com missioners will aid In the work. Th# erection of the new Marietta street school Is an assured fact. It la so assured that th* lot on which It will stand has already been purchased and tentative plana have been drawn. Also th* erection of a branch Car negie library ha* been assured, though It ha* not quit* reached th# stage that th* achool ha*. Still, Car negie ha* donated the money, and the city haa practically pledged Itself to furnish th* sit*. Th* time and th* place and the money will probably meet In January. Alderman Ciirtla gives nolle* of a atrrnuous effort to eecure a branch Carnegie library In the First ward, and Alderman Qullllan, the mayor pro tem., haa failed to show any Inclination to let up In h|s struggle for on* In the Second.

And h* Is no less a promoter than n pro prietor. Pleasure Park Plan. The conversion of Piedmont Park Into a strictly pleasure park, almllar to Grant Park, has been discussed off and on for the entire year, and will proba bly be decided one way or the other next year. Everybody has a different opinion from everybody elae. and no- body has any license to say what coun cil will or will not do. The building of the North avenue underpass waa first suggested by Mayor Joyner, and haa been vigorously pushed by Alderman Beutell. of the Fifth ward, assisted by tha mayor. It wilt be built next year No question mark* are necessary. The merging of the offlce* of commis sioner of public work* and city engi neer haa been suggested and will ba suggested again next year. It ha* a de cided Interrogation-pointed figure, how. ever. Th* council Is waking up to th* fact that the city'* contracts are about th* moat easily broken affairs that one can think of. When a contractor real ly futfllls a contract with the city It la an extremely rare occasion and one worth the memory. The city never enforces contracts. A man bids to do a certain bit of work In a cartaln time. He bids high be muse of this time limit and the danger that he may not complete It within that time, anil SO he figures on th* possi bility of paying n certain nmount of forfeiture In th* bid. He bids high, too, .jjusalhly because material |* high at the Knowing that It will not be required of him lo complete the contract within the time limit, peaalbly ho waits until Inspector, whoa* duty It shall ba to see that the gas,and electric light meter* are read proparly. Thla ordinance will probably be acted upon by the council of 1*41. Somebody Is going to make a fight in council to out th* "kibosh” on the "locker'' club*, which, according to re ports, are going to spring up over night after January 1 like th* proverbial mushrooms. It Is not likely that there will be many of these ctube, If any. and It le not unlikely that the court* will have the flnnl settlement of the ques tion. 8omt Knotty Problems.

Ma terial la bound to go down sometimes. The contractor runs six or eight months over hla time limit. Informs council that It rained considerable, the railroads were slow In delivering the material, labor wa* scarce, and coun cil. loalng sight of the fact that the city paid extra to the contractor be cause of then* possibilities, lets him off with the entire forfeiture. This la In variable. Will Claim Forfaits. Mayor Joyner, sny* moat positively he will put a stop to this. "In my message lo council In Jan uary,” he stata*. *'I sh'all speak of this and I will state positively then, and I state positively now, that I will not approve a single act of council In al lowing contractor* to break thelr.eon problema to solve. Some of the thing* which the people want and ahould have will be granted them. The consummation of all tha things mentioned ta not to be expected end hardly to b* desired, but many of the more Important matters will, no uoubt. successfully extricate them selves from the labyrlnthlnlc max* of technicalities which will surround them and will com* out.

I haven't a cent In the world, and am In Jail on Thanksgiving day with my throat rut. But It might be worse, and I’m thankful that 1 am not dead.” Then Enoch Sanders said he felt tired, and he slowly made his way In to his cell and reclined on his cot. "You can go upstairs, Enoch. If you want to." kindly said Sheriff Morris. "There s a new mattress up there and more light." "Thle II do, sheriff, thank you." And Enoch Sander* sighed. A* Gloomy as Ibsen. The story of Enoch Sander* and the affray at Lithonla Is n tale aa gloomy aa an Ibsen problem play,, a atory of strange love, of Jealousy *o mad a* to border on emotional In sanity—* tale unrelieved by a single cheerful feature. »tJno‘U P » h !n C *“ strong whlrh 8b thi “s’* 0t th * tr, ° “found which the tragedy was woven the Sanders***a' m wa# ,hat of Enoch ■“CV ,T, nn . dr,v * n ,0 “ criminal «!i *°. r * .slip of a girl he wanted to marry the girl.

"I always done everything for her.” he said with sadness and Just a touch of bitterness In his voice. "I S ave nor everything I could. I sent er to school where she didn't learn much.
