THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY. JULY 11. 1912.
Wilmer Moore on
Atlanta's Streets
The city is without sufficient
money and equipment. An in
crease in the tax rate, unpopu
lar as it is. is needed. Then
there is no scientific plan of im
provement. We musl have this
before tve ran construct intelli
gently. Xovv improvements are
carried on here ftnd there ac
cording to no real plan, and
many botches are made.— State
ment of Wilmer L. Moore.
FACTS ABOUT BAD
STREETS OF CITY
Complaints against the terrible con
dition of Atlanta's streets have reach
ed such alarming proportions that The
Georgian, after a careful investigation,
today presents to Its readers informing
details of the system now in vogue,
which helps to throw light on the rea
sons for the present exasperating con
ditions.
A majority of the members of coun
cil are unanimous in expressing the
private opinion that something Is vi
tally wrong with the system. Public
ly. they nave been declaring for months
that Atlanta's greatest need was better
streets, and many are urging a 12,000,-
000 bond Issue for the purpose.
Dally a long line of callers files into
the chief of construction’s office in the
city hall to Inquire as to numerous
street troubles and delays in work. Al
most $1,000,000 worth of improvements
was outlined at the first of the year.
Each one is met with the argument that
the continuous rains have practically
killed the efforts of the department.
Many Botches Made,
Says Wilmer L. Moore.
A general criticism is expressed in
the words of Wilmer L. Moore, presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce.
"The city is without sufficient money
and equipment," he said. "An increase
in the tax rate, unpopular as it Is, is
needed. Then ther eis no scientific plan
of improvement We must have this
before we can construct intelligently.
Now Improvements are carried on here
and there, according to no real plan,
and many botches are made."
Here is an outline of how and what
the construction department is doing
this year.
City Has to Pay
Only Small Part.
Anticipating assesments to be col
lected from property owners, the Geor
gia Railway and Power Company’s por
tion for pavement between its tracks
and a large amount of work pledged by
the county commissioners, council out.
Mined almost $1,000,000 worth of im
provements for this year. With the
year more than half gone, far less than
half of It is completed.
The trolley company pays for eleven
feet of the width of the street paving
where it has single tracks and for six
teen feet where It has double tracks. Os
the remaining part the property own
ers are assessed two-thirds of the cost,
according to the frontage owned. This
leaves but a small amount of the total
cost to be paid from the city treasury.
But the progress of the work depends
upon the,way it is handled by the city
construction department and the streets
committee of council.
The strategic point for the selection
of points to bo improved is the finance
committee of council. In making up
the annual budget, this committee spec
ifics all the special iprovernents. Which
these are depends upon the strongest
fight made before the committee by
officials and citizens. No big street im
provement is ever planned except after
a vigorous agitation. I>ump sums are
then provided for the city’s part of or
dinary street improvements, such as re
pairs. rock and chert pavements, side
walk pavements and curbs.
The streets committee of council
then takes charge of these lump funds
and apportions them among the ten
wards. The streets to be improved are
then designated by the councilmen front
the wards, the councilman on the
streets committee usually, by ordi
nances passed through council.
Fifty Hands and 100
Convicts on Work.
R. M Clayton, as chief of construc
tion. has charge of all the work. He
j s elected by the people. Under him, in
charge of streets, is Nym Hurt, ap
pointed by Captain Clayton. Karl
Brittain is In charge of sidewalks, also
appointed by the chief of construction.
While Captain Clayton has little
voice In outlining the improvements,
the council has little voice in the con
duct of his office. The only direct au
thority over him is the control of the
budget. All other city departments are
controlled by boards, under council.
All contracts are let by council, the
streets committee handling the details.
Council also approves all contract work
on the recommendations of Captain
Clayton and the committee, though it
has authority over both in these mat
ters.

SECRET WEDDING
PLANS GO «
F. V. L. Smith and Bride “Dis
covered” by Friends and
Given Rice Shower.
F. V. Ij. Smith figured out a secret mar
riage last night and a most romantic
runaway honeymoon to New York, but
down at the Terminal station it took the
porters four hours today to sweep up the
rice and the old leather that a hundred
Elks and Masons threw at the couple as
they ran for the midnight train for New
Y ork
Mr. Smith, who la manager of the Elec
tror.e Company, in the Empire building,
had been engaged for three months to
Miss Maybelle Yarbrough, the nlneteen
year-old daughter of Matthews Yarbrough,
plumbing inspector. All their friends
knew that they were to be married, since
they had p'anned that happy event when
they went so the music festival in April.
Yesterday Mr. Smith called up Miss
Yarbrough in her office as assistant man
ager of the Underwood typewriter con
cern and told her that If she could get
away quietly he’d tike to bp married in
the evening and leave for the Northern
honeymoon without a single person know
ing
Sneaks Out Her Trunk.
Miss Yarbrough agreed. She hurried
home and packed her trunks and put on
a traveling costume and had a little col
ored boy sneak her trunk out of her home
by the back way. She had been invited
to dinner at half past 7 o'clock, and she
slipped away perfectly confident she had
outwitted all her family and friends.
At his home at 481 Cherokee avenue,
Mr. Smith got his trunk and suitcase out
and on their way to the train without a
single soul suspecting.
The couple met downtown, got an au
tomobile. and were driven to the library
of the Wesley Memorial church, where
the pastor. Rev. Dr. Hendrick, married
them.
But somebody, somehow —that part is a
mystery yet—heard of the secret marriage
in the church library about two minutes
after it occurred, and telephoned the fact
to Mr. Smith’s friends at the Masonic
lodge, and to more friends of Smith in
the Elks club. Said friends got automo
biles, a barrel of rice, bought a great part
of the stock of a second hand shoe store,
and descended upon the Terminal station,
where the bride and the bridegroom sat
chuckling over their clever deception.
When the train finally came in and the
newlyweds were permitted to board it,
their marriage had been about, as con
clusively and enthusiastically advertised
as though they had had a church wed
ding
Upon their return to Atlanta, Mr. Smith
and his bride will go to live in his pret
ty bungalow at 734 North Bouletvard
SENATE TO PROBE
STILL-BfflD DDW
The state senate will investigate the
fracas between C. P. Byrd. Tom Lyons
and Luther Still, which took place yes
terday afternoon in the senate cham
ber.
According to the notion of this body
the “scrap” can not be judged by the
police court.
Senator J. A. Sheppard introduced
a resolution this morning providing for
an inquiry and it was adopted without
comment. John M. Slaton, president,
will act as chairman ex-officio of the
investigating committee, and the fol
lowing senators will serve with him:
J. E. Sheppard, J. W. Mayson, W. D.
Crawford and J. R. Douglass. The
committee is empowered to summon
witnesses and hire a stenographer.
The principals have not yet been no
tified when the trial will take place.
Says Three Men Attacked Him.
"1 got the worst of the fight." said
Mr. Still. “But I wish the public to
know that T was fighting three per
sons and that I was not the aggressor.
Byrd came up to me in the senate
chamber and told me that if I contin
ued to say he had padded the state’s
printing accounts he would thrash me.
He used a hard word. Just about that
time Lyons walked up and cursed me
vilely. Frank Cohen was with him. J
considered that the thrashing might as
well be done then as any time so I
struck at Byrd. Lyons closed in on me
then and I went for him. Cohen also
tried to strike me. but T frightened
him off. I started to chase Lyons, but
he ran and gs I stopped to look back
at Byrd he struck me in the right eye.
It was a severe blow and dazed me.
“If the trio is proud of what it did
it can have the credit for having won
the fight. 1 wish to reiterate, however,
that Byrd did pad the state's accounts
and he knows it."
Mr. Byrd could not be located this
morning
Charges of disorderly conduct were
preferred against the principals of the
Still-Byrd-Lyons-Cohen fight in the
senate by the police department this
afte:noon. Officer Eki Arthur made the
charges at the direction of Assistant
Chief Jett.
All four principals were setved with
copies and notified to appear before the
recorder Saturday morning.

VINSON HOLDS UP
BILL MED ST
IS. GRACE
House Measure to Change Law
Relating to Testimony Goes
Back to Committee.
Representative Vinson, of Baldwin,
succeeded in having house bill No. 845
recommitted to judiciary committee No.
2 today. Thereby hangs a most inter
esting tale
There are member,s of the house
who believe that the bill bears directly
and designedly upon the famous Grace
shooting case, and may be used, if
passed, to compel Mrs. Grace to testify
to her disadvantage, and in favor of
the prosecution, when that case is
brought to trial.
The bill proposes to make a wife a
competent and compellable witness
against her husband, and vice versa,
upon the trial of the husband or the
wife, for any criminal offense upon the
wife by the husband or the husband
upon the wife, when the act charged
amounts to a felony.
The bill was before the house for a
third reading and with a favorable
committee report, but there were many
members who thought that report was
made under a misapprehension and
that it should be recommitted and this,
upon Mr. Vinson’s motion, was done.
The greater part of today’s session of
the house was taken up in discussion
of a bill by Mr. Burwell, of Hancock,
up with an adverse report for a second
reading. The report was disagreed to.
Hits at Game Bird Menus.
Among the more important new bills
introduced tn the house today was one
by Murphy, of Bulloch, to regulate the
serving of game birds in hotels: a bill
by Mr. Moon, of Butts, to include mor
phine and narcotic drugs in the prohi
bition laws: a bill by Mr. Adams, of
Hall, increasing the license on the man.
ufacture and wholesaling of “near
beer” from SI,OOO to $2,000: a bill by
Mr. Watts, of Randolph, to authorize
counties to abolish the office of county
treasurer; a bill by Mr. Newsome, of
Glascock, to provide for the proper la
beling and dating of medicine and
drugs; a bill by Mr. Hobbs and Mr.
Holtzclaw, of Houston, to regulate the
inspection of canned fruits and vege
tables. and a bill by Mr. Lord and Mr.
Holder, of Jackson, to remove the per
mission clause of the present game law.
Harris’ Tax Reform
Bill Is Tabled
The first tax reform measure of the
session got its usual luke warm re
ception in the state senate today when
Senator Harris’ bill creating county
and state boards of tax returns and
valuations, designed to equalize the
Georgia tax system, was tabled almost
without opposition.
The unanimity of the opposition to
the measure was suprising in the face
of the fact that it came to the senate
with a committee recommendation. By
today’s action, the bill, which is certain
of defeat in its present form, will come
up for passage later in the session.
What the Bill Provides.
The bill provided:
The appointment of county
boards of tax returns and valua
tions, composed of three members
named by the judge of superior
courts. The members of the boards
are to receive a salary of $5 a day
while in session and shall equalize
the tax returns made to the tax
receiver.
The county boards will have
power to subpena citizens and re
quire an oath as to tax returns,
raise or lower said taxes as deemed
proper after a hearing.
The appointment of state tax
board by the governor. This board
to be composed of three men at a
salary of SI,BOO shall have general
supervision over the county boards.
The duty of the state board shall
be to equalize the taxes among the
various counties and to equalize
assessments placed on corpora
tions by the comptroller general.
Senator Sheppard, holding up a simi
lar act of 1891, since repealed, as a hor
rible example, pronounced the measure
dangerous.
"This bill," he said, “will place a
czarlike power in the hands of three

“I agree with the author of the meas

Senators Blalock, Shingler and Shaw
all followed Sheppard with opposition,
Senator Shingler clearly expressing .the
opposition when he said that the best

Getting Ready
For Grace Trial
Mrs. Daisy Grace will face trial on
the charge of attempting to kill her
husband. Eugene, at their north side
home several months ago, in the crim
inal division of superior court July 29.
The charges, against her will be the
first to be taken up by Judge L. S.
Roan during the session of court that
opens that date.
Deputy sheriffs will be busy serving
appearance papers on a number of At
lanta, New Orleans and Philadelphia
persons early next week, commanding
them to appear in court on the date of
the trial.
Attorneys for both defense and pros
ecution have compiled a list of people
to go on the witness stand, primarily
to testify to the character of both the
principal parties, and more than half a
hundred may tell of past relations be
tween Grace and his wfife before the
trial reaches its climax.
The preparations under way suggest
that there is hardly a possibility of the
postponement of the trial. Both sides
have shown a desire to have the hear
ing on the date it is set for and very
probably w hen the case is begun it will
be carried to a finish before other work
is taken up by the court.
ASK REPEAL OF ACT TO
INCREASE CITY REVENUE
Mayor Winn and a number of members
of council went before the judiciary com
mittee of the house of representatives to
day to urge the repeal of the Sirmans
act. a general law which permits the
Georgia Railway and Power Company and
the Southern Bell Telephone Company to
deduct their franchise taxes from the
city's special occupation tax.
If this law is repealed, it is claimeo by
the city council, about $40,000 more taxes
will be collected annually from these cor
porations.
