If nine of the leading political and business men of Atlanta were given free rein with the city government at the same time there would be eight different systems of business manage ment. That fact was demonstrated last night at the Chamber of Commerca [ dinner, held to discuss Atlanta’s finan cial problem. Only two of the nine speakers believed in raising the. tax rate 1 1-2 per cent. Each of the other seven had a remedy indorsed by him self alone. - Judge John S. Candler and Alex W. Smith advocated the tax rate increase; Eugene R, Black believes in greater efficiency among city employees; Judge Hillyer believes in indiscriminating ap portionment of funds; F. A. Quillian wants the tax rate increased, the as setwments lowered, so as to stop pay ing so much to the state; E. V. Car ter advocated a special school tax; General A. J. West wants commission government, and V. H. Kriegshaber be lieves in civil service examinations for city employees. It is doubtful if a more representa tive body of men could be assembled than that at the dinner last night, and it Is certain that a no wider diversity of opinion could exist among the lead ers of Atlanta as to the solution ot Atlanta's financial problem Judge Candler opened the argument by detailing what Atlanta needs. "What are you going to do about it?” he asked oj> he sat down. Some of the things Atlanta urgently needs, he said, are three fire stations, more police men, improvements for hospitals, ntote schools and teachers, more sewers, bet ter streets, bridges, cyclorama, audito rium Improvements and other things h« said he could barely mention. Eugene R, Black, in answering Judge Candler, advocated a bond issue whrjn more money is needed by the city. b<ut declared that the burden upon the peo ple 1h as great as they can hear. "A maximum Income and minimum effi ciency” was the way he charactelrlzHd the situation. The other speakers all advocated im mediate improvement in the Atlanta streets, but each developed seine new need of the city, until at last it seemed i that Atlanta should be wiped out and i made all over again. More khan 300 1 citizens were present and all believed I that the meeting would mark a new I era in civic advancement. President I Wilmer L. Moore, of the Chamber of Commerce, presided.
