4 i 1 7 TTTF ATLANTA OEORCTAN AND NEWS. I REAL ESTATE AND CONS TR UC TION NE WS Atlantn Businesc Man Commends War on Noise Nuisance. Uurges Officials to Act. The movement to enforce the ordi- nace prohibiting the cutting out of automobile mufflers has met enthusi astic response from citizens in all parts of Atlanta, who have been an noyed and sometimes seriously incon venienced by the uncontrolled speed fierftis. Chief of Police Beavers has taken up the matter, and has stated that he will endeavor to the best ability of his department to prevent auto- lsts running through the streets with wide-open mufflers and shrieking si rens. Many of Atlanta’s foremost busi ness men hav e written letters to The Georgian commending the movement and expressing satisfaction that there is a prospect of the nuisance being abated. J. J. Haverty, president of the Hav- erty Furniture Company, and one of Atlanta’s best known citizens, de clares drivers who equip their cars with the “wildcat whistles” should be placed in the same category as those who ride with open mufflers. Mr. Haverty declares he is emphat ically in favor of the movement, and expresses th e hope that the “city fathers” will take hold of the mat ter at once. Scare Women and Children. His letter follows: “Your very sensible and fitting edi torial on the cutting out of auto muf flers, which appeared in your issue of August 22, appeals very strongly to me, and ought to appeal to every sane citizen of this metropolis. “I wish to add, in behalf of a suf fering public, another protest against the utter disregard of the public’s comfort and safety by that class of numskulls who pose as real chauf feurs. but who are in reality real nuis ances and a real menace to the safety of pedestrians. “The noise made by the numerous motors, while being worked overtime, and often out of time by joy riders, is a very faint echo of the distracting and almost unbearable noise and nerve-racking shrieks of the full- grown wildcat hwistles. which have been attached to many of the cars in Atlanta. “The would-be chauffeurs on these particular cars seem to vie with each other in testing the noise capacity of these whistles, and very often, by this display of rowdyism they so frighten women and childern that they are un able to move and are very liable to accident. nois amuse themselves during the Interfere With Business. “These same makers of unnecessary day by driving their cars through the business section of the city pull the lid entirely off of these noise boxes, and put on all the noise-making force they have, thereby actually interfering with the transaction of business. “There is an ordinance against cut ting out auto mufflers inside the City limits. There should be an ordinance prohibiting the blowing of these out landish horns. “We boast of our up-to-date city and yet such nuisances as have been mentioned are permitted by our city fathers, to the discomfort and danger of our citizen?. “Cities like Memphis. Tenn.. Dallas and Fort Worth. Texas.. Savannah. Ga.—in fact, all cities of modern ideas (except Atlanta) will not tol erate such nuisances. “I am with you heart and soul in this fight, and I hope our able city fathers will take hold of this matter at once and give us this much to be desired relief.” Gadsden Solicitor to Oppose Burnett GADSDEN. Aug. 28.—L. B. Rainey, Solicitor of the City Court of Gads den, practically has announced that he will he a candidate opposing Con gressman John I.. Burnett. While he admits he will be in the race, lie does not want to make a formal an nouncement yet, because of the long campaign. The intimation that Captain Rainey will be in the race may cause several other prospective candidates to change their attitude, for ^t. is con ceded that Mr. Burnett can not be defeated if more than one candidate takes the field against him. Not less Ilian a dozen men have been men tioned as prospective candidates. Retail Merchants Meet in Birmingham BIRMINGHAM.
