Aim'S LUG
CONDITIONS HIT
Investigator Impressed by Fear
Everyone Seems to Have
of Fresh Air.
Though hi was mild in his genera!
criticisms of Atlanta's sanitary and. ed
ucational systems. S. G. Lindholm. the
municipal expert who has been making
an Investigation here under th< aus
pices of the Chamber of Commerce, de
clared today that some of Atlanta’s liv
ing conditions were horrible and that
they would not bo tolerated even in
New York, the city of notorious tene
ment houses
"Such conditions as the negro huts
in Lowe's n’ley and similar places are
too bad for words." he said. "I can’t
tell you what to do with the lowest
class of tenements and shacks. Rut
the medium class, where many white
people live, is what demands immediate
attention by the city government.
"There is no excuse for some of the
conditions I have found."
Urges Sanitation.
Mr. Lindholm said that new building,
regulations and closer sanitary inspec
Hons were the remedies. He said many
of the houses absolutely lacked venti
lation. in many the walls are crumbling,
the roofs leak, there is no provision tor
baths and the general living conditions
in them are wholly insanitary
He said it was absolutely necessary
to use force in dealing with certain
classes of people and that there was
certainly some need of enforced sani
tation in Atlanta. He referred to sec
tions of Peters and Decatur streets us
typical of this needed regulation.
He said tin conditions h< found In
Lowe’s alley and some of the poorer
negro sections, where he was Informed
washerwomen and servants of the bet
ter class of white people live, were so
revolting that when he went back to
his room at the Capital City club he
asked the servant there who had dent
his laundry. H» said he did not want
to take any chances by having his
laundry done in such a place.
Whites Endangered.
The remedy for these unfortunates,
he pointed out. was not so apparent.
Rut he said If the landlords were made
to build proper houses, the people
could be trained gradually to live more
cleanly and healthier lives.
“This is especially important." he
staid, "because the negroes are as close
to the white people as the members of
their own families. When the servants
.are infected with disease they infect the
best people in the community."
As to the schools, he said, the princi
pal trouble was bad buildings. Better
buildings could only be secured by more
money.
He said that al! the schools were
without sufficient ventilation, as well us
all other buildings in Atlanta.
Why Fear Fresh Air?
"Patent ventilating systems are fail
ures,” he said. "The only kvay to get
plenty of pure air is to keep the win
dows open. One gets accustomed to
living In fresh pure air Just as one gets
accustomed to bathing regularly.
“I have been impressed with the fear
Atlanta people have of fresh air, de
spite the fine climate. Most of the
people In offices keep their windows
closed.”
Mr. Lindholm has practically com
pleted his work. He will leave for
New York today and will send his for
mal report on conditions along with
the report of Herbert R. Sands, the ex
pert who made a general survey of the
whole city government.

COTTON TRADERS
AWAIT ESTIMATE
Market’s Range Narrow in An-,
ticipation of Census Report
on Bales Ginned.
NEW VoRK, Dec. 7. Weakness in Liv
erpool cables caused the cotton market i
here to open barely steady today with I
first prices ranging unchanged tn 4 points .
lower than last night’s close. Immediate- I
ly aft-r the opening a general buying*
movement prevailed, coming from many j
different sources, which was said to have
resulted from of London’s, estimate, i
placing the commercial crop at 13,900,- .
*ro’» bales, including linters and repacks, i
and after fifteen minutes, prices were 8
to 10 points better than the opening quo
tations. The. selling was small and scat
tered.
Steadiness In this market today was
largely due to the covering bj' the local
crowd and buying for New Orleans ac- i
count. Trading was very light, but the
market ruled steady throughout the short |
session. A disposition prevailed among ■
the big trailers to sidestep and await the
census report. However, the market was
rendered good support from a number of
reliable interests. The large spot bouses
were principal absorbers. The selling
pressure was not. of such a character That
it has been for the past. week.
This report Monday is causing consid
erable uneasiness both among the high
price men and the low' price ones. The
report will be compared with 12,841,832
bales last year for the same period amt
10,291,431 to November 14, 1912. The trade
is generally expecting figured around 12,-
0000,000 to December 1 and predicting the
crop estimate to be issued Thursday at
14,500,000 bales. The bulls are Hot dis
counting a large glnners report to Decem
ber 1, as the picking has been rushed,
but from many reports from the belt this
season’s crop will Just about be shown
in the report Monday.
At the close the market was steady
with prices closing practically unchanged
from the final quotations of FYiday, being
unchanged to 2 points higher.

HAYWARD <B, CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dee. 7. Liverdbol is
not very encouraging right now. Futures
were again 4 points lower than due. Spots
11 points lower. A cable said; "Spin
ners disposed to buy only for daily re
quirements, believing in lower prices.”
Tlie feeling In our market, however,
whether voluntary or educated, seems
quite bullish. The first trades here were
at an advance of 4 to 7 points and there
was general buying, reflecting the view
that a large census regarded as dis
counted and people are preparing for the
expected small government estimate next
Thursday.
Memphis reported the average guess of
that exchange as 13.986,000 commercial
crop. The continued weakness of the
stock market is said to cause hesitation
in some New York circles. Political ar
ticles in press credit the coming admin
istration with designs of a drastic tariff
revision, and the foremost financial or
gan prints the following on the conti
nental situation: “The financial situa
tion In Italy, Austria. Russia and even
Germany is rather bad."
The market held very’ steady through
out the day around the opening figures,
showing that interest is well arranged for
the advertised large ginning figures Mon
day.
