ELECT PARK BOARD

the members of which shall be
for five years, will be ottered In
Jmit Monday by Councilman Huddle-
** jhe resolution Is now In the hands of
the city attorney and Is being drawn up
by hint. . ...
The park board now consists of one rep-
resentatlve from each ward In the city,
the tnavor and the chnlrman of the park
committee. The resolution will provide
that the mayor and the chairman of
the park committee shall serve as ex-

ea "The present system Is an extremely
dleston.
"A park board that Is in office but one
year will not make Improvements that
extend over Into the next year, and If
It does the succeeding board Is liable
to disagree and tear down or change
what has been done. The result Is that
each board does a little patching, but
permanent Improvements and definite
policies are not adopted."

“I have suffered" a good deal with ma

ARE TOBE ELECTED
J. D. Turner and J. D. Dam
eron Mentioned
For Places.
Since the terms of two members of
the board of county commissioners
will expire In 1908, there Is consider
able speculation as to their successors.
The members of the board whose
terms expire are Commissioner E. B
Rosser and Commissioner H. E. W
Palmer, both elected from the city of
Atlanta.
Both the commissioners have been
members of the board for several
years, having been three times elected
for terms of four years each. Judge
Rosser ds out of the city and It Is not
known whether he will make the race
again. Judge Palmer will probably
stand for re-election.
Up to the present only two men have
been mentioned as successors to Judge
Rosser and Judge Palmer. These are
Dr. J. D. Turner, former member of
the city council, and J. D. Cameron,
who Is connected with the Hlrsch dry
goods store, In Whitehall-st. Altho
many 6t their friends throughout the
county are Insisting that they entfer
the race, neither of the gentlemen has
committed himself on the proposition.
It Is probable that they will make some
definite announcement at an early date.

nouncement of the engagement of Mrs. Anno Weightman Walker, to
Frederick Courtland Penfield, whose pictures are here shown. Mrs, Wal

MAYOR PUTS VETO
. ON CHERT PLAN
Mayor Joyner has vetoed the reso
lutlon by Councilman Smith, providing
for the distribution of the free chert
funds according to the mileage of un
paved streets in each w^rd. The veto
Is In line with the action of council In
adopting a measure which was a com
promise between those favoring the dis
tribution equally among the wards and
those favoring the mileage plan.
This second plan having been adopt
ed, the mayor had no other course to
pursue but to veto the first resolution,
which was In conflict with thb later
one adopted.

familiar with tha views of freight of

This Is a question that Atlanta mer
chandise brokers have been anxious to
secure for a long time. They ask that
after a car of freight has left Its start
ing point for Atlanta and a sale has -
been made, to re-blll this car after It
reaches here and send It on thru to Its
new destination at the thru rate. Nash
ville has enjoyed this privilege for some
