Before Building of IVaehtree Viaduct, Atlanta

tion ban to come Into the city by way
of Ponce DeLeon avenue, to Peach-
iree street, or go out Ponce DeLeon
■•venue to Moreland avenue, and Into
Decatur street, to be able to secure
fairly graded streets and smooth
pavements and have to go out of
their wav from half a mile to a mile
and a half to do ao.
Make Stores Accessible.
In the first mile radiating from the
• ■enter of Atlanta, If the streets were
of systematic, easy grades with
smooth pavements, It would enor
mously benefit every -person doing
business in Atlanta, by making their
places more accessible, and would
benefit every property-holder by pro
moting the business grow'th of the
city.
Before the building of the Peach
tree viaduct Atlanta was almost sep
arated Into two big straggling towns.
With the building of this splendid
highway Atlanta values have devel
oped by leaps and bounds, particu
larly where property has been located
in the neighborhood of this Improve
ment.
Other viaducts have rendered the
city more homogeneous and more like
one city than one would have Imag
ined possible before the building of
the first of the*»e structures. If wo
regrade our streets and put smooth
pavements upon them we should re
quire every property owner who cuts
into the streets to replace the sur
face In the best possible condition.
Careless Paving a Mistake.
The present method of claiming
that the city must do the work, as
only the city can do it properly, then
simply shoveling in the loose dirt and
letting the places stand as deep hoi
lows indefinitely, is a procedure which
Is not good, either for the property-
holder or for anyone who drives any
kind of vehicle.
Business never likes to climb up
and down hill, and avoids heavy
grades. Peachtree and Whitehall
streets need good side streets to
bring them to their highest develop
ments Such streets act as feeders
to the main arteries, and when the
main arteries are overcrowded, they
give easy accommodation to the over
flow.
Atlanta’s crying need is for easier
grades upon her streets and smoother
pavements. Kven the rough belglan
blocks, when properly laid and undis
turbed. or relAid properly, are many
time® smoother than our present dia-
Atlanta has within seven miles of
her business center the most heavily
endowed female college in the .State,
and within twenty miles she has
Stone Moutain, one of the greatest
natural curiosities in the world, and
yet there |» not a first-class, smooth,
well-graded highway to either of
them.
State’s Richest County.
Pulton County is the richest coun
ty in the State, and pays over one-
seventh of the taxes of the whole
State. Atlanta is the richest city in
Georgia, yet in her Ninth Ward, which
comprises over one-fifth of the whole
city, she has not put down in its
western half, between the Southern
Railway and Moreland avenue, but
one short piece of first-class pave
ment (on Highland avenue), and a
little dab on Linwood street.
North avenue, the longest, cross
street on the North Side,‘should be
open from Western Heights to Druid
Hills, but the Southern Railway, be
hind Ponce DeLeon Park, needs an
underpass before this thoroughfare

LONDON, Dec. J3 One of the in
teresting and unusual features of the
Olympia Motor Show was the active
part taken by noble lords in acting
as salesmen and advertising men Of
these Lord Montagu of Beaulieu

years editor of the “Oar Illustrated,”
and runs a bookshop in fashionable
Pall Mall.
At Olympia, during the show, he
earned by his activity and readiness
to be useful the soubriquet of “His

seemed to tire of selling guidebooks
