Maddox, of the Fifth ward, ordered by the police department of Atlanta to cease work with a steam shovel at Forsyth and Luckie streets, today figuratively told the police de partment to mind its own business At the same time the aiderman de ■lared that before he would obey the mandate of the chief of police he would carry the fight through every court in Georgia. The clash between city law maker and city law enforcer came when the owners of the Elkin-Goldsmith sanita rium complained tfiat their patients, were being greatly disturbed by the I noise of a steam shovel being used on grading work at Forsyth and Luckie streets, where the Hirsch-Spitz building is being erected. Alderman Maddox is the contractor who has charge of this work. The hos pital people charged that the shovel had already been on the place an unneces sarily long time, and was not only hav ing an injurious effect on their pa tients, but was also hurting their busi ness. Three days ago Chief Beavers sent word to the aiderman that the shovel’ would have to be removed by 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At that hour the shovel was shoveling away as busily as ever. Charges of falling to obey orders to abate a nuisance were filed against the alderman-contractor. The contractor was served wilh copies of the charges, but he didn't stop work.
