Editor The Georgian:
There has been a great deal said
sbout* the sale and moving of the city
prison, pest house, dumping ground,
etc., and for a time It seemed to be
s puzzle as to where It should be lo
cated. There were suggestions from
various sources eohcernlng a location,
plans for a new prison, pest house and
what it would cost, where and how the
money could be raised, etc. Now, ev
erybody knows It will take a consider
able sum of money to make the change
and will agree that a change Is nec
essary for the betterment of the south
and east side, and that which helps one
Section Is a help to the entire city.
1 understand there Is approximately
inn acres in the present site of the
stockade and It la.avalugble piece of
property, worth entirely too much for
a farm. The White City section north
to the Georgia railroad can not nor
ever will Improve toward East Atlanta,
nor will East Atlanta ever be tmproved
to any considerable extent west of
where it Is now until the stockade and
pest house Is moved and this property
cut up In city lots, streets and other
Improvements made and convert the
prison building and a few acres of land
into the Tech High School.
As soon as It was announced thru
the papers 'that the county authorities
had decided to build a new court house
1 suggested to some of the city and
county officials that it would be a prac
tical Idea for the county commissioners
and city council to get together and let
the county build a new Jail In connec
tion with the new court house, and let
the city take over the present Jail for a
stockade. I did not think the city
should build a suitable stockade at' the
police station, as there Is not sufficient
room for both.
Now, I think It would be much better
for the court Jmuse and Jail to *be to
gether, as It would be safer In trans
form* prisoners to and from court to
Jail and they would not be on public
exhlbldon on the streets. It would be
more convenient for the sheriff and his
men, the lawyers and every one con-
»corned; better for the city In various
ways; tho working force would be
nearer the center of the city. I see
from the papers that tho city cap buy
MO acres of-land a few miles from the
city which can be cultivated. Go out
there and build a cheap camp; It does
not tkke a massive steel structure to
make a safe and comfortable stockade,
with a strong framed 'building and
good high fence and sober, competent
guards.
Build the pest house on the same
land, a sufficient distance from the
itookade to be safe. Erect a hospital
near by and. take the poor, chronic dls-
cased eyesores off the streets and such
as are not taken to the Grady hospital,
send them out there and give them such
"medical attention ns they need. Build
' a crematory on the same.land and use
all the women and old men, such as
ere not lit for stfeet service, to op
erate the crematory, cultivate tho farm
end raise all the vegetables the stock
ade, Grady hospital and other Institu
tion! dependent on tho city can use:
feed the station house prisoners from
the stockade and save the restaurant
expense: give the surplus, If there
should be any, to the Homo of Incura
bles, Home of the Friendless, etc.; have
nil the washing a,nd patching done on
the farm and let the doctor be nt every
sitting of court and pass on the phys-

leal condition of the prisoners convict
ed. Let .the’ able-bodied stop at the
stockade and the others go out to the
farm.
It would require one good team
truck to transfer the prisoners, vege
tables, clothes, etc., from the farm
town.
Raise all the hogs possible.
Now, as to the expense of the Jail
a stockade, shops, stables, etc., this,
course, would have to be figured and
agreed upon by the officials.
There Is a piece of vacant property
back of the Jail that has been used for
a coal yard and some old residences on
East Hunter running to an alley joining
the Atlanta Baggage and Cab Com-,
pahy, and back to the Atlanta Milling
Company, which would give ample
room for the shop and stables.
It seems that the stockade property
and the Marletta-st. school lot would
bring enough money to make the
change, and have some to spare; the
county and city would be beautified;
the people In East Atlanta and Third
ward would bo satlsljed, and In a fen-
months the city and county would be
getting handsome returns from the In
crease In tax values, as all the real cs
tate In this section would enhance In
value, and build up rapidly.
Some say tho Carrie Steele orphan
age would be in the way. I don’t think
there could be much objection to It, as
it Is on the belt line railroad, and a
foundry and wagon factory near-by,
and besides from what I see and hear
it Is conducted In a very nice, quiet
manner. If it should be necessary to
move this Institution, I don’t suppose
it would be a costly proposition. It
would not be In tho way, at least for
while.
If the stockade Is ever moved there
should be two separate camps—one for
the men and one for the women. Let
the camp for the men be centrally lo
catcd as possible, and the one for the
women out of the city. It know It
would have a much better moral effect
than to house them under the same
roof. I know whereof I speak, ns
have had a good many years of expe
rlence In handling felony, mlsdomean
or and city convicts. By separating
them, It would reduce punishment co:
slderably.
A negro Is hard to understand and
short term prisoner Is much harder to
manage, especially where there are so
many together.
I sec our honorable mayor and some
of the city councllmen and county
commissioners favor tho plan, and It
Is to be hoped they will all get together
and flgumout a plan by which a change
can be made that will give entire sat
isfaction to all sections, and I believe
whatever they’do will be a benefit to
both city and county, and. everybody
should bo satisfied, and not criticise or
complain. It Is Impossible to please
every one, and when a public official
tries to do so lie lias a hard Job on
his hands, and Is making a mistake.
Hope everbody will be patient.
It takes time, money and brains to
work out such problems and put them
in operation; but more money than
anything else. •
-Yours truly,
E. T. CLEMENTS.

There were tear# turned on In quan

of perfume In the old city hall Mon
day morning when Judge Pendleton
turned the* attention of the third di
vision of superior court to undefended
divorce cases.
Some thirteen suits had successfully
suffered'the ordeal up until noon, and
if a Jury hadn't been hung for some 30
minutes to delay the court, the court
might have reached twenty. The Inci
dent of a hung Jury In an undefended
divorce suit, while not unique, was suf
ficiently unusual to cause lawyers and
witnesses, to say nothing of the court
attendants, to grow peevish.

New York, Deo. 11.—Charles
Murphy, president of the Chicago Na
tlonal league te^m, threw the first bomb
among the basebqfl magnates assem
bled here toctyiy. He announced that
he was in favor of electing Ban Johnson
president of the American league and
of the National league as well. In
sarcastic statement given out on his
arrival at the Waldorf, Murphy scored
Johnson and the magnates of the Na
tional league. He accused Johnson of
being in syndicate baseball, and claim
ed that the heads of the National league
clubs were under the Influence of the
genial Ban. He asserted he would
nominate Johnson, and vote for him.
The Chicago, magnate said ho thought
It would be for the betterment of the
game for Johnson to be made head of
both league* and paid a salary for his
work.
The statement from Murphy was
caused, he says, by the fact that John
son Is trying to force the * National
league to elect another man In place
of Thomas Lynch, the president of the
National league at present. _
The full statement follpwa:
"I am for Ban Johnson even if Car
negie did leave him out of the list, of
the twenty greatest men In the world.
Mr. Johnson has been the head of the
National league, thru others, fOre long
time,-without financial remuneration,
and It is understood he has sent word
to our club owners ,to elect some fel
low from Louisville* or Nashville o:
some other place down South to suc
ceed Lynch. It seems to me It would
be an act of wisdom .to elect Johnson
as head of the National league, and I
hope to have the pleasure of nominat
ing him at the meeting of the National
league tomorrow.- This will allow him
to conduct our league In the open and
receive compensation commensurate
with his great ability.
“A man who can make ticket scalp
ing a vice in one league and a virtue
In another, or who, never having played
professional baseball can descant
knowingly on the relative value __
leagues, clubs -and players in such a
convincing way as Mr. Johnson has re
cently done In Interviews, must have a
great capacity.'
• "A fellow who can originate and bo at
the head of syndicate baseball, and then
hand out resolutions against It, at least
shows versatility.
"The only objection raised - against
Mr. Johnson Is his Innate modesty. If
he can be kept from his desire to keep
In the background and force himself
forward a little more, he should make
a valuable head of the National league."

aged 35, who died Saturday nt her

morning In Poole's chapel and the re

for Interment. She Is survived by her
husband, W. T, WTiltlock, and three

Salaries Committee Plans
Action Toward Cutting Pay,
as Reported.
The position of city auditor, held
Carl. E. Hurst, and chairman of
bond commission, held by F. A. Qull
llan. will not be abolished, as stated
In one of the Sunday papers.
The story In the paper stated that
a recommendation for the abolishment
of these offices In the Interest of econ
omy, the auditor's place paying 32,400
per year'and the chairman of the bond
commission receiving 32,000, would
probably come from tho salaries com.
mlttee of council. ,
- Chairman D. J. Baker says that
far as he knows his committee will of.
fer no such recommendation, and John
S. Candler and John W. Grant, tho
other members, say that the first they
heard of such a scheme was from the
newspaper which published the story.
There have been reports that some
members of council considered the of
fice of auditor a fifth wheel, and the
salary of the chairman of the bond
commission was only provided for tho
time during which the expenditure of
the 33,000,000 of bond money was going
on. Also It Is-generally reported that
the policy of next year’s council will
be for retrenchment In salaries and po
sltlons where such Is possible.
May Firs a Secretary.
In the report some, months ago that
was' made public, tho auditor recom
mended the abolishment of either the
mayor’s secretary or his stenographer.
And this Is talked of again In the gen
eral discussion of economy. Council
has already provided that ono of the
two -31,800 positions at Oakland ceme
tery should be abolished the flrBt of the
yea r.
Mayor Winn was asked Monday
morning concerning tho story that the
abolishment of the positions of auditor
and chairman of the bond commission
was Imminent Ho said that ho did not
care to express an oplnon. The auditor
Is under the direction of the mayor.
As stated by Judge Candler, ho does
not consider It the duty of the salary
committee to recommend tho abolish
ment of positions. He says that his
Idea of the duties of the committee Is
recommend salaries not already fixed.
The final word on providing salaries
rests with the finance committee when
It makes up tho annual budget. If tho
abolishment of tho two positions was
being seriously considered, the tlmo
would be taken up would be when the
finance commltteo makes up the 1912
budget. Council could arbitrarily abol
ish the positions at Its next meeting,
but there Is not tho slightest evidence
that this will be done.
Hurst Will Finish Term.
Auditor Hurst was elected for a two
year term, which has another year
to run. Tho It Is probable that
position will be abolished at tho end
of his term, members of council say
they consider themselves morally
bound- to allow him or any other offi
cial to servo out the terms for which
they were lected, unless such an official
should have charges brought against
him. ,
The work of expending the bond
money Is well under way, but a grAt
deal of work Is yet to bo done, and
several members of council express the
opinion that Mr. Qullllan’s term should
continue six months more at 1 cast.
When the bond money Is finally ex
pended a number of other positions as
well as Ills will be abolished.
