ANNUALLY
Research Experts Declare Rev
olution in Economy Will Re
suit From Municipal Probe,
Atlanta tax payers will be saved be
tween s3oo,fifio and Jfioo.nno a tear if
the'municipal research experts are able
to put into effect the economies they
are expected to bring about in the city
government as a result of the investi
gation they will start in September.
President Wilmer Moore, of the
Chamber of Commerce, and Chairman
F. J. Paxon. of the research eommittet
of that body, told The Georgian today
that as a result of the municipal in
quisition by experts they are now se
lecting in New York some antiquated
systems now in vogue in the munici
pality of Atlanta may be revised and
some of the clerical forces reduced.
They denied, however, that there is any
expectation among any of the local re
eearchers that “something rotten in
Denmark” will be disclosed.
Still Lack Expense Money.
They declared that the peaceful prbbe
only awaits the raising of the expense
fund to slß.ol>o to provide for three
rears research by the experts. Mi
Paxon said that sufficient money ha
already been raised to insure the first
year’s investigation, but Tie added that
it was by no means the intention of
the committee to make the reform
movement an experimental or short
lived affair. He declared the research
ers of Atlanta are so certain of its suc
cess that some go even so far as to
claim that, put into thorough opera
tions. the economies recommended by
the experts will decrease by 10 per cent
the $0,000,000 the city now expends an
nually.
It is the present plan to set the mu
nicipal ferrets into every department
of the city government, beginning
probably with the comptroller’s office.
The expert from the municipal re
search headquarters in New York will
come to Atlanta with the understand
ing that he is simply offering his ex
pert services in an honest effort to find
if there Isn’t some way of saving mon
ey. After a thorough investigation of
all departments, he will make sugges
tions first to the officials so they may
put the reforms in operation at once
and privately, as though they had been
devised by themselves If they rejei
them, the expert will submit his repmi
and recommendations to the research
committee, and in a final event they
may be taken to the council byway of
forcing action.
Only the raising of the necessary
money and the selection of the experts
for the various inquisitions is postpon
ing the actual stait of the investiga
t ion.

BROWN GROOMED
FOR SENATE RACE
Friends Want to See “Little
Joe” in Another Contest
With Hoke Smith.
Tint a number of Tuttle Joe”
Brown’s friends are grooming him in
their minds, anyway for the senatorial
race In 1914 there Is no longer
doubt
Recently there has appeared in va
rious newspapers throughout Georgia
a story to that effect, and in many pub
lications the suggestion has met with
more than an ordinarily warm recep
tion.
The governor, so far. as anybody will
tell, has never said anything about this
matter.
When cautiously and circumspectly
approached there are still a few mis
guided ones here and there who under
take to get upon the blind side of “Lit
tle Joe " now and then upon tills topic,
the governor merely smiles one of his
justly famous super noncommittal
smiles, and lets it go at that!
That may mean Barkis is willing
and it may mean Barkis thinks it's
pone of your business. One never can
tell for sure, unless the governor wants
him to.
Nevertheless and notwithstanding,
"they say” -always lay things on "they
say'.’-’ if nobody else will stand for them
uncomplainingly--that the goy-ernor
wmuld not object to following further
in the footsteps of his distinguished
father, through serving a term or two
in "the most august .deliberative body
on earth."
It looks as If Senator Racon Is to
have relatively smooth sailing on his
nay back to the senate, bul if “Utile
Joe" and Senator Hoke Smith should
fight it out In 1914—well, to say the
least of 11, tliere would be something
doing.
