WEST END OWNERS
AGAIN COMPLAIN OF
LACK OF DRAINAGE
Residents of Gordon street, West
End. are up in arms against the lack of
drainage between Gordon street and
Lucile avenue. Complaint after com
plaint has been made to the city con
struction department, but no relief has
been given. Now they assert they are
living in a pond which increases with
each shower.
The sewers are declared to lack the
capacity to carry off the water, es
pecially after a rain of any consider
able duration. After Friday’s downpour
L. A. Witherspoon, Jr., of 490 Gordon
street, asserted that the water stood
three feet deep for nearly 100 feet
around his lot.
Receding of the water, the residents
say. is always attended by the pres
ence of a quantity of mud and refuse
which makes street and sidewalk traffic
difficult.

How a Georgia Tech Man
Made Good
“THE MAN WHO KNOWS”
A few years ago they were building a skyscraper in At
lanta. Hydraulic elevators were being installed. Something
had gone wrong and the elevators wouldn’t run. she contrac
tor was at his wit's end. No one knew what the trouble was.
Somebody suggested sending to Georgia Tech for a man to
-help out.
Well, they sent a level headed young man from Tech, one
who had been trained along the line of hydraulic engineer
ing. He remedied the trouble, and got the elevators to going.
On being offered a .job by the contractor, the young man—a
Georgia boy from Baldwin county—refused until he com
pleted his work at Georgia Tech. “If you need me later on.
send for me,’’ he said—and they did.
To make a long story short, that young man is now the
vice president of the Otis Elevator Co.. New York city, with
a big salary attached.
It is the same old story—THE MAN WHO KNOWS IS
THE MAN OF POWER. He is most often the man with
the big salary, too. F. (’. Furlow’s splendid success should
inspire other Georgia bovs. BUT THEY MUST PAY THE
PRICE OF'SUCCESS. Young Furlow spent four long years
at Georgia Tech training his hands and brains. He hided his
time and awaited his opportunity. It finally came to him.

he was able to grasp it. MORAL: ONLY THE MAN WHO

pay for it.

HON, hIrRY AS A
CONSTITUTIONAL
LAWYER
HIS GREAT VICTORY IN A FAMOUS
FIGHT.
To show that the Hon. H. H. Perry is
truly Senatorial Timber it is only nec
essary to point to his very able minor
ity report against the payment of the
famous Mattingly Bonds.
Mr. Perry, in handling this vexed and
intricate question, demonstrated that
he is a constitutionaf lawyer of the
first order. No abler report was ever
submitted to a General Assembly in
Georgia.
This report was incorporated in the
Journal of the House of Representa
tives for 1906.
Three Times Wrong.
The liability of the state on the bonds
had been before the legislature three
different times. This was the fourth
and last time that the claim was pre
sented. In 1869 a joint committee re
ported in favor of paying the bonds.
No final action was taken.
In 1883 the matter was again before
the legislature, and a report was made
allowing Mr. Mattingly to bring the
matter before the courts.
In 1904 the claim was again made.
There was a majority report in favor
of the bonds. No final action was
taken. It was again presented in 1906
In his minority report Mr. Perry
said: "We have very carefully investi
gated the entire matter and unhesitat
ingly report that neither the bonds nor
the alleged debt In payment of which
they were originally given are valid
claims against the state.”
A Great Victory.
Mr. Pet v made a magnificent argu
ment upholding his contention that was
simnly overwhelming.
The majority report, made by Hon.
Boykin "Wright, former attorney gen
eral. favored the payment of the bonds.
Among the able lawyers who had de
clared. when the matter was formerly
before the General Assembly, that the
bonds were valid and ought to be paid
were Robert Toombs, Benjamin H. Hill.
Alex H. Stephens. Joseph E. Brown and
A. T. Akerman, attorney general of the
United States under President Grant.
The bill to appropriate the money to
pay the Mattingly bonds was made the
special order in the house August 6.
1966.
Mr Perry’s minority report was up
held.
His splendid argument before the
house had won over the ablest lawyers
of the body. It culminated in a superb
victory and at once established the
fame of Mr. Perry as the ablest and
most distinguished constitutional law
yer in the General Assembly.
It is safe to say that the Mattingly
Bonds will never be heard of in Geor
gia again. SMITH CLAYTON.

TakeaTrolleyWith
the Wife and Chil
dren and Look Over
Fortified Hills.
' HERE are trees and flowers and rool
breezes and plenty of fresh air out at
Fortified Hills.
That’s why it would bp a good plan tn
take the wife and children out there on a River
line car and look things over.
Fortified Hills was developed for the wife
and children—for homes. A house can be built
on any old lot. but a HOME must have envi
ronment as well as a lot. /
That’s what Fortified Hills has the
proper environment. Workmen labored there
for years before the owner, Mr. E. W. Grove,
consented to turn the property over to us to be
put on the market. He had advanced ideas as
to the development of a residence section for
the salaried man or woman, and he spent sev
eral hundred thousand dollars in putting these
ideas into effect. J
The result is Fortified Hills—the ideal resi
dence section. F
The property is twenty minutes from
Peachtree by the River car line. Yet no ears
run in front of the homes and never will.
Neither will there ever be any stores or objec- ■'
tionable residences. f
In other words, Fortified Hills is restrict
ed just as thoroughly as is the property upon
which the wealthy man builds his magnifi- /
cent residence.
It was developed for people with pay en- '
velopes containing from $25 to S4O or SSO. The
prices and terms fit these pay envelopes. f
We have handsome booklets, profusely il
lustrated which tell about Fortified Hills, and
we’ll send them for the asking. . j
Then, too. Captain J. T. Mills can always /
he found at Fortified Hills to show visitors
around and tell about the property. There's /
an office out there —you can’t miss it because 7
it is built as attractive as the homes are which
are already there and which are going up. / y
All during the summer since the prop- /
erty was placed on the market, unusual inter- *
est has been manifested in Fortified Hills by
those who want homes. Even the wet weath
er hasn't kept people from being interested
and from looking at this magnificent property 7 .
Eight houses are to be built in addition
to the beautiful homes already built. Just look
it over and then let us tell you about the rea
sonable prices and terms which were made to
fit the pay envelopes.
