Ideas of the Jewelry business gained
on trips abroad. Under the old lease
this concern was paying $4,000 a year
rental, but the owner of No. 37 White
hall. A. B. Steele, asked $12,000. Un
able to reach a compromise at $8,000
the Jewelry concern announced that
It would move. The change will take
place about September 1. An up-to-
date moving picture house, it is said,
will occupy the old location.
Peachtree Creek Plans.
What can be done to reclaim or
"renovate” Peachtree Creek? More
than a hundred property owners
would like to know. The County
Commissioners have a plan to clear
out the bod and remove driftwood
from the banks. This, they believe,
will prevent to a large extent the
present overflow in the rainy season,
and keep the low places free from
standing water. Mosquitoes won’t
have «• chance, and as for the sewage
of former days it has been largely
removed by the erection of the Peach
tree Creek disposal plant.
Some time ago the sugestion was
made that the creek be bridged over
for a considerable distance. This
plan met opposition from Eretus Riv
ers, who declared that the city and
the county had so few streams of size
that they should be left exposed to
view.
The main permanent trouble with
Peachtree Creek seems to be that it
is muddy rather than clear. Were It
a stream bf sparkling water rather
than a ditch carrying off Georgia red
<day its possibilities would be unlim
ited. If it were a good stream In this
sense the lowlands that now border
it could be turned into attractive
park spaces for present and future
generations.
Spring Street Improvement.
Sooner or later there Is going to be
a big improvement on Spring street
to make it as much as possible a help
to Peachtree. The proposition to ex
tend Spring northward to Brookwood
has already been announced. It rests
where many other good propositions
rest, to be revived later when the
need becomes greater than it is at
present.
Now comes the suggestion that
Spring street he turned slightly from
its course as it strikes Carnegie way
—that a slice be cut from the north
east corner of Cain street (the Gov
ernor’s Mansion lot) and Spring
street be connected up wdth Cone
street, which now ends at Carnegie
way, and extended across the rail
road tracks by w ay of a concrete via
duct.
Cone street ends on the south at
Marietta street and it is suggested
that the street be continued. The
viaduct would go straight until the
tracks were crossed and then curve
slightly to the left, or about due south,
and land on Madison avenue, to serve
the entire Terminal Station district.
This arrangement. It is pointed out,
would make it possible for the via
duct to pass safely to the east of the
W. & A freight depot, and it would
put a leading thoroughfare one block
closer to the retail district than a
viaduct which jumped from the foot
of the present Spring street. Not
only that, but a first-class, straight-
line thoroughfare would be opened up
for traffic that would otherwise use
Peachtree, and travelers using the
Terminal Station could reach their
North Side homes much more quick
ly than by the circuitous route that
it is now necessary to travel.

Limiting Militia's Use
Apparently weary from the strenu

culminated in the passage of the sub

night Georgia Senators adjourned
Tuesday at noon following the pas
sage of two general bills by McGreg

a revision of the military laws of the
State. The vote was 29 to 0. There
was no debate.
The bills provide affidavits shell
be made by civic authorities before
request Is made upon the Governor
for troops in case of riot or insur
rection, thereby decreasing the power
of the civil authorities and increas
ing that of the executive. The meas

soldiers such as occurred In Augusta
last year.
