"There have been complaint* from
residents all over that section against
the location. I don't see why it ever
was selected.
"A location that appeals to me Is
the abandoned tennis courts which
the Piedmont Driving Club built in
Piedmont Park opposite the Junction
of Piedmont avenue and South Prado.
The Park Board was strenuously op
posed to the location of a school In
the park, and I think the members
werrf right. But a bungalow Are
engine house would be attractive to
look at and would take up very little
space. AVe could sell the West Peach
tree lot and budd the station with a
few thousand dollars extra.
"With an automobile engine the
whole North Side could he easily cov
ered. The location is high and there
are good streets leading tn every di
rection."
Fire Chief W R Cummings said
Monday that If Council wanted a
new location It would have to select
tlie lot and buy It. He said he spent
two years trying to do this, and the
West Peaehtree lot was the result of
his best efforts.
"People want Are engine houses."
he said, "but they want them next
to somebody else's house"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Presi
dent Wilson paid his compliments to
"calamity howlers" to-day when he
indicated to callers at the White
House that the nation understands it
Is the duty of ‘‘hard-times prophets"
to keep busy always.
The President expressed himself as
deeply pleased over the evident incli
nation of the business interests of the
nation to conform to the provisions of
the Sherman anti-trust act, but de
clined to make a specific statement on
the business conditions of the coun
try' at the present time.
He. was asked if he knew of any
other corporations that were making
ready to follow the voluntary disso
lution move of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company.
He had- none specifically in mind,
he said, and reiterated his belief that
interests generally would adjust
themselves to legal requirements
That the Government naturally is
willing to co-operate with all busi
ness men who desire to obey the law
Is self-evident, according to Presi
dent Wilson’s views. He has gained
an impression from members of his
Cabinet and many members of Con
gress that business men in general
are more than willing to reorganize
in accordance with the provisions of
the law, and said the agreement as to
the dissolution of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company, em
phasizes this impression.
Don’t worry about cash. Just read over

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 —The Ad
ministration's currency bill probably
will be enacted into law before night.
The last obstacles in its path were,
sw ept away at a long night session of I
the House and Senate conferees,
which ended at 3 o'clock this morn
ing.
The only action necessary to make
the measure a law is acceptance by
He two houses of the conference re
port and President Wilson's signa
ture.
Important action was taken by the
conferees in the closing hours of their
long session, in which they were aided
by the advice of Secretary of the
Treasury Mc Adoo. The House con
ferees triumphed on two big points of
difference when an agreement was
reached to drop the provision provid
ing for the guarantee of national t>an«
deposits and to eliminate the clause
permitting the use of reserve notes aa
reserves of member banks.
A compromise was reached on a
matter that has caused letter fighting
when it was agreed that the Comp
troller of the Currency shall be a
member of the Federal Reserve Board,
but that the Secretary of AgricultilTe
shall not serve on the board.
The House had fought to have both
officials made ex-officio members of
the board, and succeeded la securing
an agreement to have them made
members of the organization commit
tee.
The question of retiring 2 per cent
bonds caused sharp discussion, and it
was finally decided to retire them two
years after the Inauguration of the
new system, $25,000,000 worth to he
retired annually. They shall be taken
over from national banks by reserve
banks.
For one-half of the bonds so taken
reserve banks will Issue notes similar
to those of national banks.
The conferees were worn out by
their arduous work, but stuck to the
task until it was finished, having re
solved to complete the work so that
Congress might adjourn over the hol
idays. As fast as an agreement was
reached on the various provisions and
a page of the bill disposed of It was
rushed to the Government prlntery for
prepara tion.
