14 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.

DECEMBER 7. 1912. 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. RANGE IN NEW YORK fKI * I-* ? H Dec.

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. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.
