Cody Probe Called Vote Play
Two powerful strokes for a higher
city tax rate in Atlanta were an
nounced Thursday. One was the in
dorsement by the Atlanta Federation
of. Trades of the tax rate increase
from $1.256 to $1.50. The other was
the joint majority report of the fi
nance committee of council and the
board of school commissioners recom
mending that the present tax rate of
€1.25 be increased to $1.50 6f which
45 cents would ge to the schools. It
will be submitted to city council at
its regular session Monday afternoon.
The report also will carry the recom
mendation that the State educational
fund of $131,000 be turned over to
the school department in addition
Nutting Puts Motion,
The report was framed on motion
of Councilman J. ¥. Nutting after
numerous other propositions designed
to give the schools a larger propor
tion of the advalorem taxes had begn
voted down.
The session lasted more than 3
hours, The school commissioners
fought hard first 1o secure the rec
ommendation of the plan to reduce
the tax rate from $1.25 to sl.lO and
to levy a separate school tax of 50
cents, then, when this had lost out,
they fought to obtain at least 47 cents
ol the proposed increase to $1.50. Fin
ally when it seemed that the session
would be forced to adjourn with noth
ing accomplished the commissioners
indicated their willingness to accept
the 45 cent substitute offered by Mr.
Nutting.
Four Oppose Plan.
Aldermen Hatcher, Garner ind
White and W. N. Terrell of the school
board voted against the plan; the
aldermen holding that suwch an ap
portionment of the increased taxes
would discriminate unfairly against
other eity departments in favor of
the schools, and Mr. Terrell contend
ing that the plan would not furnish
sufficlent money for the school de
partment,
Mayor Key then made a plea for a
vote to make the report unanimous
in order that a solid front might be
presented by the two bodies, but when
Mr. Hatcher again put the question
the, vote stood as before,

Mayor Key's program for a bond issue
to take care of the needs of the various
city departments and an increase of the
ad valorem tax rate from $1.25 to $1.50
and a decrease in assessment of values
from 70 to 60 per cent, was overwhelm

The vote of confidence in the Mavor

Key had addressed the Federation at
length, laving the matter before the
workers in all its aspect®, and received
1o opposition except from the attempt
of a minority to delay action pending the

I'he Mayor stated that his policy was

his belief in the principles of the initia

The great stir in the Atlanta fire
department that originated a few
days ago when Fire Chief Cody for
mally requested the board of firemas
terg to investigate him and his office,
in view of certain crijicisms by men
in the department, took a new turn
Thursday through a demurrer to the
chief’'s charges filed by Attorney Har
vev Hill, as counsel for H. R. Daniel,
an a.arm operator at headquarters, in
which it was charged that Chief Cody
is seeking to bring about an investi
gation merely, in the hope of obtain
ing a vindication that will enhance
his chances of re-election.
This proceeding ciosely followed the
filing of a series of salty charges
against the chief by Fred Straub,
who then resigned his place with Fire
Company No. 11
Haniel’'s charge was made while
the council committee, named to in
vestigate 1l accusations against
Chief Cody, prepared for a public
hearing before noon Thurgday, Coun
cilman Al . Martin is chairman of
the committee,
Would Stop Probe.
Should the firemasters sustain the
demurrer, the charges made by Chief
Cody against Danijel and Straub and
other members of the fire department
as to their alleged eriticism would
be thrown out and there would be no
investigation
Daniel was still on the job Thurs
day as alarm operator, and it was un
derstoad that there is no likelihood
of his resigning.
Attorney Hill also filed an answer
for Daniel at the same time he filed
the demurrer., Daniel, in the answer
admits that he had repeated eriticism
of the chief as made by others, but
denied he had originated it He said
he did not know how many men had
made charges against the chief
The answer also quoted from
Chief Cody's communication to the
firemasters, in which, in referring to
members of the fire department, he
was said to have stated
“They have a perfect right to sup
pert whomsoever they please for
chief.”
Daniel Agreeable.
Daniel said he would admit that
the chief was entirely correct on this
point
Daniel set up several grounds in
his demurrer in“asking that the chief's
proposed investigiation be halted Ir
intimating that the chief's desire for
a probe has a political coloring, Dan
anything, save to enhance the chief’'s
iel said
“The investigntion will avail no one
candidacy for re-election. It appears
simply to be a dragnet to bring about
an exoneration of the chief on charges
preferred against himself”
Daniel said that the illegations
made by the chief as to the attitude
of certain men in the department
were tpo vague, indefinite, and uncer
tain, Because of this, Daniel said, he
did not have sufficient notice as to
the kind of proof or circumstances
the chief desired him to submit béfore
the firemasters, He also declared that
for the same reason, the chief's al
legations have no basis for proof.
Says Action Irregular,
Daniels also charged that the proe
ceedings are frregular, and that he
Las no notice as to just what he is
expected to defend himself against
He further asserted that he had not
been charged by the chief with any
thing personally, nor anything for
which he might be responsible,
He concluded by declaring that the
staternents of the chief in his com
munication to the firemasters consti«
tuted an admission of the right of
the men in the depargnent to oppose
him if they so desired

BREATH OF HOME IN CELL
OF MRS, ABBOTT IN TOWER
i
All the comforts of a tranquil home
and fireside are in the room at the
Fulton Tower where Mrs. John Abbott
awaits trial for slaying her husband.
And although the walls are m‘ay the
morning sunshine filters through the
big windows of the room and make the
place look like anything but a prison,
. Thursday Mve. Abbott broke the si
lence she has held so obdurately since
'h«-r incarceration in the Tower and
talked to a Georgian reporter who
found her very busy when he \called.
And she seems always busy-—busy with
her knittting needle—purling away
throughout the long hours of the day
and the wakeful hours of the night.
Sometimes she reads, for upon her
boudoir table is a copy of “The Little
Shepherd of Kingdom Come’’ and “Rob
inson Crusoe.' Then there are the
daily papers which are brought to her
by the matron—-Mrs, Pearl Hayes, the
| “Little Mother” of the grim old Towen
which has held within its walls 80 many |
famous prisoners. ‘
There are flowers too, that help to
brighten the corners of the prison room
’ —and pictures, beautiful pictures,
| copies of the old masters. ;
{ Likes Flowers,
‘ “I'm very fond of flowers,” she said.
“But ] am partial to carnations, Those
are narclssus,” she said, smiling, as she
' pointed to a vase of pretty flowers aon
| & nearby table. *1 don’t care much for
them, but they are very sweet when
they are fresh,” she added. *
One of Mrs. Abbott's two hoys was
seated al her side leaning on the arm
of the big rocker.
“He is the youhgest one” ghe ,re-
R T lE=——
marked, “H& is only 9—that is, he will
be 9 in March. Our oldest boy is 12 and
our other would have been 10 if M had
lived. They are all | have to live for
now,” she sald. .
There was nothing so unusual about
that utterance, except possibly that it
was very simply spoken, ot Hg
“They are all 1 have to live for now."
. . . Bhe had said the same thing
over amnd over again, to reporters, to
lawyers and to hundreds of curious vis
itors—~hunters after the unusual. But
to this woman it must mean much-—
and there was a touch of pathos to it
as she put her arms around her boy
and ag he snuggled up close to her and
she gtroked his red locks--yes, it must
mean a whole lot to this woman—-thig
mother--and she must think about it

riends Are Kind.
“I am very comfortable, though," she
remarked. “Mrg, Hayes is simply won
derful--and Miss Tyler, too."”
