SEWER WORK IS MONMIND Contractor Pleads for More Time, But City Engineer Complains of Delay. Completion of Atlanta’s sewage dis posal plants will be delayed for more than a year as a result of the inade quate efforts . put forth by Contractor Chester A. Dadv. according to Captain Clayton, chief of construction, and F. A. Quillian, chairman of the bond com mission. Mr. Dady asked for nine months’ ex tension of time to complete the ■Peach tree creek disposal plant. Captain Clayton says he won’t finish it within a year, at his present rate. Dady also has the contract to build the Intrench ment creek disposal plant and only the grading work has been begun there. There is great need for all three of these plants, for the sewage is now dumped into the small streams around the city. This causes very insanitary conditions in hot weather. The Proctor creek plant is practically complete and will be connected In about a month. The Peachtree creek plant was also to have been completed'this summer, but it will be next summer before It Is fin ished. However, the sewer to the plant will soon be finished and the sewage that is now flowing Into the streams on the north side will be carried out to the plant and turned into the Peachtree creek. A special committee, composed of'Al dine Chambers. R. M. Clayton and F. A. Quillian, has been appoin’ed to investi gate the progress of Mr. Dady's work and make a report before any extension of time Is granted him. Captain Clayton says that the ex treme bad weather during the winter and the inability of the contractors to get crushed stone is one cause for de lay, but not a reason for as much time as Dady will require. WAREHOUSE WOULD SAVE CITY MONEY, SAYS J. S. CANDLER "If the city should build a warehouse to cost $50,000, it would save money,’’ says Aiderman John S. Candler, chair man of the finance committee. Aiderman Candler explains that pres ent conditions force different departments to pay different prices for supplies. He says the construction department Is now paying $2 a month more per head for mole feed than the sanitary department, and that there are many other such differ fnces. But the sanitary department is ble to buy its feed and store it away while the construction department must award a contract and have the feed sup plied from day to day. "If we could buy our supplies and store them away, the savings In any one de partment would pay the Interest on the Investment in a warehouse.” he says. “When we ask dealers to bid on supplies for deliveries a month later, they will naturally bid higher than on immediate deliveries.” CAN NOW PHOTOGRAPH SOUND OF THE HEART NEW YORK, May 4—Dr. H. B. Wil liams, associate in physiology in the College of Fhysicians and Surgeons, the medical school of Columbia university, is engaged in the unusual task of pho tographing sound. The humanitarian purpose of this work and its place in a medical institution will be understood better when it is explained that the sounds recorded on the photographic film are those emanating from the heart. This means that a valuable ad junct to diagnosis in affections of the heart is in practical operation. Not only that, but it is not necessary to have the patient in the physiological laboratory while this method of diag nosis is being employed; he can be ex amined with the same accuracy in this respect while lying on a cot in a hos pital at a distance or while, standing in the dispensary devoted to the use of outdoor patients of the institution.

Because all his company comrades in the Civil war are dead, T. J. Thompson Is denied a Confederate soldier's pen sion. He is the oldest member of the Atlanta police force, toe, a feeble old man of 71 years. But Commissioner J. W. Lindsey has turned down his appli cation. "Commissioner Lindsey tells me I must have a certificate from a member of my company that I served In in the war," he says. "I can’t get it. They are all dead.” He has a certificate from Joseph V. Bidgood, keeper of the Virginia military records, showing that he served the en tire war in the Nineteenth Virginia reg iment. But that was not sufficient for the Georgia pension commissioner. “My company enlisted with 112 men," says Mr. Thompson. “When we deliv ered our guns to Grant at Appomatox there were but six of us left. Most of them fell tn Pickett’s charge at Gettys burg I remember as distinctly as if it were yesterday how thick they dropped about me. And all that came out of the war are gone now but me." Mr. Thompson began service in the Atlanta police department in 1877. He has spent more years on the force than any other man. He is given light work now, his beat being around the city hall. There he engages many a passer by with his interesting conversation, and his favorite theme is of the hard days of the sixties and of Pickett’s charge.

I have had several different jobs, but have always been discharged. As sdon as the boss finds out who I am it’s all off. I’m fired. That’s why I’ve got so many names. I want to hide my record and go to work. I’ll work for anyone who’ll give me a Job, and be on the square, too. I assure you. judge, I haven’t pulled a crooked job since I got ou’ of the pen last August. If I had I would have money and a lawyer."
