Chamber of Commerce Backs
Movement for a Sweeping
Investigation.
\ »eping investigation of every
r ity department is today planned by
the Chamber of Commerce. Outside
experts of national reputation are toj
be brought to Atlanta to delv<- to the j
heart of Xtlanta’s administration af-|
fairs in an effort to cut out unneces- |
sar\ extravagances, force material
economies and bring about improved
r., thods, where possible, in the conduct
of the < ity’s affairs.
Th*- projected probe is planned by the
Cliambei of Commerce despite the
strenuous opposition of most of the city
officials themselves, including some
members of council. But the plan has
progressed to the point that the au
thorizing resolution is now slated for a
A ote in council Monday afternoon, with)
every probability that ir will be passed.
The investigation will be financed by
the <’hamber of Commerce, which has
already voted to put up the JK.Oon that
the inquisitors will charge for their
u ork.
Experts to Study
City Conditions.
The men- um introduced st the
lasl meeting of council by the Board of
'iunicipal Research, at the instance of
the < ’hamber of Commerce. It does not
purport to detect any graft or crook
, fjprce hut io probe into the present
method ; of city business, with a view
of pnttuig it on a more scientific and
economical basis. The "ork is to bo
done as it has been done in New York
and other cities. The experts will study
the present conditions and offer reme
dies to the city ottieials as sugges
tions
I was on the motion of Alderman
,1..'-,n e. McClelland the resolution was
tali'ed until the meeting >f council on
Monday . Councilman Clarence Haverty. [
chairman of the board of municipal re
s' 3t -n. is endeavoring to engineer the
resolu ion through. He has boon pledg
ed support by Councilmen Aldine
chambers. Claude C. Mason and other
lemiors. But around the city hall are
mt.nt vigorous protests against an in
\ • stig.uion of the departments by any
oct Hi! ■ authority.
Th" now movement has also inherited
some of thi factional feelings of for
mer . imilar projects. The Chamber of
i omm .co led the fight for commission
gotqrmwiil. while the "city hall crowd’’
led the opposition. Rut F". .1. Patton
