5 THE ATLANTA HEOEGTAN AND NEWS, CASH BASIS FOR [ Council Accepts Crematory Rul ing of Supreme Court—Street Work Will Suffer, Public business in Atlanta hereafter will be done on a cash basis. It mat ter* not whether the project involves the purchase of a new administration building, the remodelling of an old one or the repairing of a street—it must be paid for within the year. The crematory controversy resulted in a ruling to this effect by the Su preme Court and Council has taken the edict as Anal. The only exception to the cash pro gram is found in the issuance of bonds and bond issues are so hedged about with constitutional limitations that they will be few. Except cases of bond Issue, every contract Atlanta makes for purchasing or improving must be paid for out of the revenues of the year in which the contract and appropriations are made. Recognition of this principle actu ated members of Council in contract ing for the crematory and appropriat ing the whole of the $260,000 purchase money out of the revenues of 1913. Alderman John S. Candler, once a member of the Supreme Court, said to Council: "The question has been put square ly up to the courts, and the courts have decided that public improve ments must be paid for out of the revenues of the current year. A bond issue is almost impossible, and we might as well make up our minds right now that hereafter Atlanta w ill do business on a cash basis.” Mayor Well Pleased. Mayor Woodward was jubilant over Council** realization of the cash rule necessity. “I hope this will be the laK of purchasing by moral obligation,” he said. “With the income she has, At lanta can live on a cash basis, just like other business institutions, and not stand still.” Judge Candler expressed doubt about the ability of the city to pro ceed with public improvements indefi nitely on money actually in hand. “Few business houses operate on cash alone.” he said. “But we’ve got to do it, and we might as well make up our minds.” Despite the difficulty of getting a bond issue approved, leaders are pre paring to raise money by that meth od. Judge Candler himself, fully cog nizant of the legal difficulties to be encountered, is one of the advocates of a bond issue. The crematory will cost $260,000, and contemplated improvements will have to be neglected to make the pur chase. It is the only way to get the money. The last budget of the Gen eral Council appropriated $125,000 for the crematory. The new' budget, it is expected, will show' a surplus reve nue of approximately $75,000. This k will help some toward the crematory purchase, but even then there are other improvements dependent on this estimated surplus, and these undoubt edly will have to go by the board. The remaining $60,000 for the cre matory, every bit of it, must be with held from various city departments. Roads and streets will suffer in the opinion of many. The street commit tee had perfected plans with Fulton County to break all records for road work. The city w r as to furnish the material and the county do the work. Orville H. Hall, chairman of the Street Committee, announced that the purchase of the crematory would ob struct this program, because the city could not buy the materials and the county therefore could not do the work. Atlanta’s most ambitious street and road improvement project must go by the boards. Other Projects Abandoned. Small amounts will be withheld from the following projects: White hall Street regrading, calling for $30,- 000; Dargan Place Park, $7,500; widening Peachtree, $5,000; three new schools, $136,000; repairing Ninth Ward schools, $10,000; Forsyth and Hunter streets grading. $6,500. Some of these contemplated public works will be entirely abandoned; estimates for practically all the others will be cut. “But,” said Chairman Hall, of the Streets Committee, “we must, get the crematory. I opposed it, and I op posed tearing down the old one; but now the lives of our people must be safeguarded. Some of the work I ex pected last year was passed over, and I know 1 must give up hope for other work this year. But it can’t be helped. We must have the crematory, and it must be paid for, and this is the only way to get it.” COLLEGE MEN RAISE TENT.

AUGUSTA TO VOTE AUGUSTA, GA„ June 8.—Augueta will have a commission government election within the next three weeks, put on by the city white primary committee. The charter will be prac tically the some as the one which was defeated last year, with the recall added. It Is recognized that It would be iropoesible to win without the re call being In the charter and last year It lost primarily because the recall was not In It. Last year the people who supported Hayne for Mayor were almost a unit In favor of commission government, and those voting for Littleton were largely against It. This year the con ditions are reversed. The Hayne people are on the Inside looking out and do not want commis sion government, while the Littleton people are on the outside looking In and wish to apply. In effect, the recall to Mr Hayne If commission -overnment wins it will go Into effect July 1, 1914.
