FIGHT IK COUNCIL
ON Ilf ST. IRK
Widening of Peachtree Also Is
Opposed by Aidermen—Sec
t
tionalism Seen in Move.
Several members of the council let it
be known today that they would make
vigorous fights against the Peachtree
and Ivy street improvements Their
contention is that too much money is
being spent on the north side.
Mayor Winn said today that he would
veto any resolution providing for the
regrading and repaving of Ivy street
unless provisions were made for ad
justments of the side streets and the
property owners gave the city longer
than next year to repay them the
money they have offered to advance to
finance the improvement. The plan for
the Ivy street improvement to be rec
ommended to council by the streets
committee does not provide for the ad
justment of the intersecting streets to
the new grade.
Aiderman James E. Warren declared
that he favored bringing Ivy street to a
level grade, but he draws the line on
paying property damages so that
Peachtree street can be widened its en
tire length. Councilman Orville Hall
is opposed to both projects. Council
man J. J. Greer supported the Peach
tree street plan when it was favorably
acted upon by the finance committee,
but he declared today that he intended
to do all he could to prevent the Ivy
street work at this time.
Mayor Winn has announced that he
would veto any more appropriations by
this year’s council from next year's
revenue.
Streets Committee Favorable.
The property owners have agreed o
advance $30,000 to do the Ivy street
work, giving the city the use of the
money without interest and allowing it
the privilege of repaying it at any time
it sees fit. The county commissioners
have agreed to do a great part of the
work. Council’s streets committee fa
vors the plan.
Albert Howell has let the contract for
a $500,000 building at the corner of
Peachtree street and Ponce DeLeon
avenue. If this building is erected it
will be almost impossible to widen
Peachtree street at that point. He of
fers to change his plans and donate a
ten-foot strip for $5,000. Carl Witt
wants $7,500 damages to his property
at the corner of Peachtree and Harris
streets. The finance committee will
recommend that these obligations be
assumed, but that no definite promise
that they will be paid next year be
made.
With the details of the plans thus
wotked out strong efforts are being
made to get Mayor Winn not to exer
cise his veto power.
The determined fight that has sud
denly developed in council, however,
presents a new condition. These im
provements mean an enhancement of
millions of dollars in property values.
They were conceived and brought to
definite form by the citizens and not by
the city officials. Every one agrees
that they would be for the good of the
whole city. A number of members of
council are determined that they shall
not fail. Sectionalism is the only ob
stacle.

SUPREME COURT HITS
EXPRESS COMPANIES’
SSO LIABILITY CLAUSE
The trick of express companies in
dodging a liability of more than SSO foi
the loss of articles upon which the
valuation is not placed by the shipper
was pronounced against the public pol
icy of the state by the supreme court
today.
In ruling upon the case of J. C. Mellt
champ, an Atlanta jewelr, against the
Adams Express Company, certified to
the tribunal from the court of appeals,
the court said:
“We hold that the plaintiff can re
cover in the proper form of action, and
that his recovery should not be limited
to SSO, but should be the actual value
of the goods lost.’’
Mellichamp had expressed a diamond
ring valued at S3OO, which was lost in
transit. In suit for recovery, the ex
press company set up the defense that
as Mellichamp had failed to fix a value
on the shipment the company was lia
ble for only SSO under the provisions of
its printed contract.

sistant general passenger agent, “by in
creasing the number of its dining cars.”
Mr. Meek said the Southern has Just

steel construction up to the window sills;
thirty seats in thei dining room; elec
trically lighted: interior mahogany and
they are as beautifully finished dining
cars any’ constructed so far in the
United States.
Two diners of similar construction and
•finish are being built but which will have
thirty-six seats in the dining room, giv
ing 20 per cent more efficiency than the
thirty-seated diners heretofore con
structed.
These new cars will be a little more
than 80 feet long over all. the kitchen and
pantry occupying a space 24 feet 8 inches
