3 ill ON SMOKE. If TEEN TO Flat Owners' Protest Against En forcement To Be Decided at Meeting Tuesday, When the Smoke Commission hears the protest of the apartment house owners against the enforcement of the smoke laws Tuesday afternoon, the cruicial test in the fight for a cleaner Atlanta will be on. The manufacturing plants, rail roads and office buildings have capit ulated one by one to the reform movement. Except iu a few isolated cases, every downtown furnace will make far less smoke this season than last, the city inspectors say. They point out that there will be no trou ble to handle the obstinate individu als in the Recorder’s Court. Apartment Owners Obstinate. But in the fight to prevent the law from affecting apartment houses many of Atlanta’s most prominent and influential citizens have com bined. They are opposed to spend ing the money it will take to remodel their furnaces. Chairman R. M. Harwell, of the Smoke Commission, declared Mon day that he believed the Commis sion would be strong enough to op pose this influence. He said that smoke abatement in Atlanta was past the experimental stage, but that the apartment houses demanded im mediate attention because they were among the greatest sources of the smoke evil. Little Smoke in Pittsburg. “Persons constantly are referring me to Pittsburg as an example of failure to abate the smoke nuisance,” he said. An official report from the Pittsburg Smoke Inspector repudiates these reports and says, among other things: “The plain logic of the question is that just as soon as each individual will realize that it is his duty an I that it will work to his own benefit to co-operate in that which will re sult in Xhe greatest possible good to all concerned there will be no more necessity for any anti-smoke ordi nance. “Incidentally the escape of uncon sumed hydro-carbon means higher coal bills, and the only economical method of getting rid of smoke is to burn it in a furnace properly de signed for the purpose. “The present high cost of living has attracted the attention of property owners to economy in fuel consump tion as much as any other economic nroblem.” Gideons Open Series Of Sunday Meetings Atlanta Gideons began a series of meetings to be held in the Hotel Ansley.

Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York. “In making such an estimate,” said Mr. Vanderlip. “one does not need to draw on one's imagination.

The railroads in five years will meed $4,000,000,000 for refunding and fresh capital. States and municipalities will absorb $1,500,000,000 more, so. with the $2,000,000,000 your industry will need, there should be provided be tween now and the end of 1918, bet- tween $7,000,000,000 and $8,000,000,- 000 for these purposes alone, to say nothing of general industrial and other needs. “These are bewildering figures. The raising of such sums, however. Is the practical problem that financiers have in front of them.
