" NEW PLANS FOR
III! APPROVED
•————
| Council Committee to Recom
mend Revised Regrade. De
spite SI,OOO Higher Cost.
p oviding a rise of four feet at Baker
I •treet and a fall of two feet at Peach
i' tree street, a new profile of Die pro
f posed Ivy street regrade has been drawn
I by Chief of Construction Clayton and
will be urged upon the city council nt
the next regular meeting.
The change in the grade, made neces
sary to protect the city from liability
-for damage to the property of the Sa
; cred Heart church, was approved by
: the street committee yesterday. The
new scheme will raise the grade of Ivy
K Street in front of the Sacred Heart
J property to within six inches of the
I floor level of the church. It also gives
J; the street a slope to take the water into
’ Peachtree street.
- , The street committee approved the
plans after hearing discussions from a
.1 majority of property owners and sltow
| ed a disposition to adopt any measure
■ that would meet with the wishes of the
t property holders living in Ivy street be-
J tween Peachtree and Baker streets.
| The opposition to the new plan, it is
A said, will arise from the fact that its
* adoption will cost the city $ 1,000 more
than the plan originally approved.
i. Under the new plan the city will b.
f forced to build retaining walls north of
Baker streets, but it is conceded that
these walls will make the street more
attractive
It is on tin additional appropriation
• fiial council is expected to balk, if any
balking is done. Chief Clayton thinks
he has solved the problem and suggests
that the city begin the regrade at De
catur street, plans of which have been
approved, and continue north to Baker
i,Street. The chi”f says that the city
j Will have the additional SI,OOO by the

3,000 CHANGE ADDRESS
More than 3,000 persons living in At
lanta have had their mail addresses
changed from “general delivery” to
their homes since the order was issued
restricting the usage of the general de
livery office.
I Shortly after January 1, 1912, Post
master Hugh L. McKee issued the order
to the superintendent of mails at the
local office. Almost immediately about
2,000 addresses were changed and tile
system worked smoothly, with but few
kicks from the “general delivery” pa
trons. This was after the postinastei
had warned patrons that he would re
fuse to deliver mail at the general de
livery to residents <*f the city who did
not have a good excuse.

HOTEL MEN WANT THUMB
PRINTS PUT ON CHECKS
ST L' lI’TR, Nov. 30. The requiring of
thumb prints on all cheeks presented by
strangers at St. Louis hotels is the latest
suggestion of a member of the St. Louis?

of the association to curtail the passing
of bad checks and to secure conviction
of “dead beats.”
The novel plan was brought up at the
banquet of hotel clerks at the Hotel Jef

gurating the scheme.

without coming under the immediate
authority of the inspectors so they
could place responsibility, and other
drawbacks handicapped good service.
Now the clerks are able to do their

' “It partly is because of the increased
amount of mail to be s< nt out by car
