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.

Broad Terms 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.
