AN OPEN FORUM TO DISCUSS
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
Editor The Georgian:
In your "Open forum to discuss com
mission government” -you published
a lengthy communication from my fel
low citizen from the First ward, W. H.
Terrell. He seems to think that sound
business methods are entirely Irrele
vant when It comes to running munic
ipal affairs where thousands of dollars
ure received and disbursed every
month.
In stating that the city government
Is a "slmon pure money spending ma
chine," he certainly describes the pres
ent situation well, for with all our rev
enue we are always hard up. He fur
ther states that the city's only end and
aim Is to see how much It can give the
people for the money they pay In as
taxes. ,. -
I want to say that his ward, which Is
also mine, has never received anything
like commensurate returns for the
taxes paid—that the streets Immediate
ly west of the Terminal station for a
mile and a half are In a terrible con
dition as to width, grade and paving.
Some ef them not even opened up,
altho rights-of-way are secured.
This, too, in the face of the tact that
these matters have been frequently
agitated and brought to the notice of
our representatives. The First ward,
however, like the city of Atlanta, Is
forging forward In spite of the anti
quated municipal system rather than
by Its assistance.
The railroads are spending vast sums
on their terminals over here and have
hblped to pave streets and build via
ducts.
Enterprising Individuals and com
panies have built up businesses and
factories, employing hundreds of men
and women. In the'meantime these
concerns have to light for their very
existence to keep back the red light
district ana beer saloons that are per
mitted to encroach closer and closer
by the municipal system In vogue. It
was my privilege to witness the light
made by.the F. E. Block Candy Com
pany before the police committee last
Thursday. And a pathetic scene It
wnu. It was also my privilege to be
one of a number of Peters-st. business
men enlisted In a like cause for our
street before the same committee.
How promptly that committee did Its
duly and then "flopped” Is well known
to nil and characterizes the system's
Ineffectiveness in turning oft business
“II up and down the line.
There Is too much delay and lost
motion about the present system. Even
a small matter can not be handled with
dispatch. What we want Is directness
and decision: and to get that some.one
person must have authority to speak
for this department Mr. Terrell seems
worried over the abolition of ward
lines.
I contend that the First ward has no
kick coming In this matter—that It
there Is any virtue In ward lines, we
have slept over our rights and can
safely tike our chances by merging
Into the' great city of Atlanta as a
whole, feeling that our little grievances
will receive as good "soothing syrup”
at the hands of the new commission
ers no matter what part of tho city
they are from as we have received
from tbb Old Omlssloners.
Yours very truly,
V. O. RANKIN.

EQUITABLE'S NEW
“HOME PURCHASE
CONTRACT” PLAN TO
BE TRIED HERE
FIRST.
Benefits of this Great Institu
tion’s Assets To Be Made
Available to Home-
‘ seekers.
Father and Brother the Only
Mourners at Funeral
of Suicide.
The Equitable Life Assurance Socie
ty of the United Statea known the
world over as one of the largest and
strongest financial Institutions, os well
as one of the most careful and con
servative Investors In this country, has
evidenced Its confidence tn the perma
nency of Atlanta values In general and
more particularly Its faith In Atlanta
real estate as an Investment, by de
ciding on Atlanta as the first city In
which to put on the market a "Home
Purchase Contract," a new plan to
make the Equitable’s great volume of
assets available to home-seekers. Dur
ing the administration of the late Pres,
ldent Paul Morton the Equitable Socie
ty formulated a plan by which the as
sets of this great financial Instltu
might be*madc available and thus ex
tend the benefits to thousands of home,
seekers and small Investora
After months of careful research and
preparation, the plan has been perfect
ed and Atlanta Is to get the first ben
efits.
The plan, which Is a very simple one,
provides funds to those who are paying
rent to become owners of their homes
at a straight six per cent Interest, with
the additional very attractive clause of
a clear deed to the property, which will
be presented to the beneficiary in the
event of the buyer's death before com
pletion of the contract.
George Cornell, chief appraiser from
the home office of the Equitable, Is In
Atlanta and Is making' all the nec
essary detail arrangements for the
marketing of the "Home Purchase Con
tract.” which, to avoid all unnecessary
expense and red tape, will be handled
thru the society's regular Georgia
agency. located In the Equitable, and
under the management of F. W. Burr,
state manager. •••

New York, June 20.—Miss Elsie Os
wald, the pretty telephone operator,
formerly of Philadelphia, who ended her
life after writing a pathetic farewell
note to Oliver John Miller, son of
Charles P. Miller, a millionaire resident
of Mount Vernon, chiding him for neg
lecting her, was burled today In a sui
cide’s grave In KenslA) cemetery, un
mourned by the man she loved.
The girl’s father and her brother were
the only ones who attended her body to
the grave. They were weeping as the
plain casket, unadorned by flowers, was
carried from an undertaking establish
ment In Mount Vernon to the New York
Central depot.
It was planned to put the body on the
local train, but at the last moment It
was discovered that there was no bag
gage car. The Brewster express was
flagged and the conductor, after the sit
uation had been explained to him, con
sentad to take the casket aboard.
There was a crowd of over 600 curi
ous persons at the station as the ex
press pulled out.

done to correct It. Wet do not feel,
however, like Invading the homes of

II uylir'i Agtntt
General council began Its sessions In
Taft hall Monday afternoon, where It
will probably meet until the regular
session of congress In December, when
the new city hall property will be for
mally ceded back to the atate of Geor
gia.
Flvd hundred dollars more money
was provided for the too, Councilman
Greer consenting to allow this amount
appropriated for the painting of bridges
to be used for new animals. This makes
$2,600 that will be Immediately spent
for animals.
.There was a warm discussion when a
resolution was presented to allow the
City Salesmen's association the use of
the council chamber tn the new city
hall for their meetings.
Councilman Evlns objected, stating
that tdo many of the members of coun.
ell wets Interested In the salesmen, be.
Ing wholesale grocers and also sales,
men, and that the resolution should be
referred tq some standing committee.
When Councilman Evlns saw that the
majority of sentiment was against him,
he said that If the salesmen were al
lowed the privilege, every other organ
Isatlon In the city that wanted the use
of the hall should be granted It.
I see no objection to allowing an
Intelligent body of men to meet In the
council chamber," said Alderman Rags
dale.
The resolution was adopted.
The resolution by Councilman Cham
bers and Harrison end Alderman Mad
dox, preventing any member of council,
the mayor, board member, of head of
deportment from having anything
whatever to do with a contract of the
city, which Is so drastic as to stop
some of the banks from handling the
city's money and prevent the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company from
making a city cpntract. If a stockholder
should be a city official, was reported
favorably by the ordinance committee
and adopted by council. It calls for a
charter amendment.
Judge Candler offered a resolution
from the tax committee providing for a
charter amendment allowing the city
to tax automobiles end other pleasure
vehicles. The state automobile lew
now prevents the taxing of automobiles
except as personal property.
A resolution was adopted placing the
employees of the sanitary department
on a civil eervlee basis. Alderman
Johnson called the attention of council
to the fact that this was piecing the
department out of tho Jurisdiction of
the nepotism ordinance.
The ordinance concerning the city
physicians who are to succeed the ten
ward physicians was slightly amended,
diminishing the eligibility require
ments. The reason was that when
the examination for the two places was
held several days ago only one appli
cant appeared. Thd ordinance had dis
qualified all the present ward physl-
clnns.
The fly ordinance was amended, re
quiring that all fruit stands as well as
stores be screened.
