6 •inn ATIjAJNTA HhUKHI A INI AMI Kl'.'VS. R OPENS FIGHT TO RTH SIDE HOIS TECH FROM F FORREST ADAIR TO CRY DOLLS FOR XMAS FUND FORREST ADAIR. Mayor Woodward declared Wednesday that the burning of the magnificent Winecoff home in Ansley Park showed clearly that section of the city must have a fire engine house and that he . would drudge an appropriation for one before the Finance Com mittee in January. Not only does that section need a fire engine house, but it is without fire alarm boxes, de spite thefffact that the new fire alarm system is said to be com plete,” said Mayor Woodward. "We need a Are station in that sec tion and one out in the western sec tion of the city as soon as they can possibly be built. Lots already have « been purchased and one or ’more of these stations must be built next year. "Other sections are urging fire en gine houses, but these must be built first." Humphrey to Lead Fight. Mayor Woodward said he read the editorial in The Georgian urging an engine house and equipment at once and that the appeal struck the right note. Councilman W. G. Humphrey, of the Eighth Ward, and chairman of the Finance Committee, insisted the first of the year that an appropriation be made for a station in that section of the Eighth Ward. In the switching of appropriations, however, only enough money to buy a lot was left in the budget. Councilman Humphrey will lead a fight next year for the new station. Protests from citizens of that sec tion. where many of the most beau tiful residences in the South are lo cated, that for a house to catch fire meant that it would be destroyed be cause of lack of protection, have been of little avail in getting action from Council. Now that a $100,000 home lias gone up in smoke as a sacrifice, the sta tion is likely to be built within a short time. Citizens Are Aroused. Th* residents are so aroused over what they consider discrimination against them that they are ready to go before the Council Finance Com mittee in a body and insist on a new station. Also they will demand that fire alarm boxes be placed over the area as soon as possible. Other beautiful homes have been consumed by fire, just as the Wine coff home was, before the firemen ever reached the scene. Men from the Norih avenue station, the near est one to that section, said that the flames had burst through the top of the Winecoff home before they cams in sight of it. They had to make a run of about fifteen \ locks. When they got ‘here, there was not enough men and equipment to check the flames. Macon Is Likely to Mrs. Bryan Calls Off Abolish Old Market Cabinet Social Strike MACON, Dec, 10.—One of Macon's landmarks, the market house on Pop lar street, likely will be abolished be fore the end of next year.

Queen Censors King’s Women Entertainers LONDON. Dec 10.—The Duchess of Devonshire is downcast at the prospect of the visit of the King and Queen at Chatsworth. “The program, which promises to be a very dull affair, has several times been revised by Queen Mary.

Loud Bell Annoys Town's Old Rival MILLER, S. DAK.. Dec. 10—After ear nest rivalry for more than 30 years be tween this town and St. Lawrence, the latter place has finally "put one over” on Miller.
