ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1909.
PRICE:
Growing out of the controversy between the city engineer and the com
missioner of public works and the Investigation Into the merits of this con
troversy, comes the report of the committee, which recommends that the two
offices be consolidated and that the new official be elected by council.
The Georgian Is not prepared to say that the consolidation of the two of
fices Is Inadvisable: but we are prepared to say that the election of this
new official by council, and not the people, Is a step directly In the
wrong direction.
After the people at the polls have twice, by an overwhelming vote
voiced their approval of popular elections, It Is Inexcusable that council-!
some of whom were elected on the same ballots—should, in addition to fail
ure to give the people what they had asked, seek to take from them what
they have already.
The people now elect the city engineer and the commissioner of public
works. The proposal of the committee Is that the two offlces be merged and
council elect the new official. On the face of the proposition. It Is undem
ocratic, In direct opposition to the progressive tendency of the times and to
the expressed wish of the people.
To those members of the committee who have been persuaded to con
sent to this arrangement. It Is suggested In all kindness that they go out
among the people, not the politicians, and find what their sentiments are on
this subject.

Albany, Ga„ April 12.—Pending the
outcome of the findings of the grand
Jury, there have been no further devel
opments In the case of Howard Clark,
who on Saturday afternoon Killed Nevll
L. Ragan.
The grand Jury - for the April term of
Dougherty county superior court took
up Clark's case this morning and at
noon the result of their deliberations
had not been announced.
Clark was not placed tn Jail, but was
put In charge of Deputy Sheriff God

"Atlanta needs 100 new policemen, at
least three police sub-stations, nuto-
i mobile patrol wagons, and new equip
ment generally. These needs are Im
perative. If the new police commis
sion will urge on the city council the
necessity of these Improvements, It will
be doing some good. If It takes up Its
time trying to reform the police de
partment. when reformation Is not
needed, putting good officers out of
their Jobs merely to put In some per
sonal favorite, then It Is purely a ques
tion of how much harm will.be done."
These ore the views of Dr. Arthur H.
Van Dyke, police commissioner and
member of the commission minority, as
, expressed Monday morning, on the eve
[ of the second meeting of the new police
t commission.
To Start a Prohs.
i The commission will meet Tuesday
: night and at this time It Is expected
I that a number of new plans will be put
! Into effect by the majority, the chief
1 feature of which will be the appoint
ment of a special committee of three to
Investigate every department of the po
lice force with the vlrfw of a reorgani
zation.
Dr. Van Dyke, representing the mi
nority. states that he is opposed to the
plan of reorganizing the detective de
partment and to the other announced
plans of the majority, on the ground
that the proposed reformations are un
necessary.
“Good Enough Now."
“We have a good set of police officers
and a splendid department generally,
and I cun see no good reason for all of
this talked-of Investigation and
changes." said Dr. Van Dyke. "Chief
Jennings says everything Is moving
along smoothly and In good order, nnd,
under the circumstances', I think the
best thing the commission can do Is to
go before .council arid n, ami ti:,\ ■ the
force Inerensed. so we can give better
protection to the city.- We need 100
additional policemen In order properly
to protect tlie city. Then We could
cope more successfully with the bur
glars and other criminals that have
been operating here."
Chairman Carlos Mason Is heartily
In favor of the plan for more police
men. and some time ago announced his
Intention of asking for fifty new men.
He stated Monday that this matter will
be taken up with the council finance
committee- In an effort to get an extra
appropriation In the June apportion
ment sheet.
Is believed all of the commis
sioners will favor this plan of making
a wholesale Increase In the force, and.
If the plan meets the approval of the
llnance committee, it will mean the
greatest Improvement ever made In the
police force.
Under the plan to reorganise the de
tective department nnd change It .to the

While he wa* making hlx statement,
down In the pit May wheat went from

In wheat this summer. 1 will not say
the price Is going to Jump to the moon,
but It Is going higher. Ther Is no cor

Since Saturday 215,000 bushels of

copy of the Payne tariff bill, containing
the amendments prepared by the ma$

public printer this morning.
On motion of Senator Aldrich, It was
agreed to take the bill up for consid

There are several hundred amend

principal changes made by the senate
