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 fcpeclal Cable to The American LONDON, Dec.
