opinion Thursday that some plan
may be adopted to save the project
for the widening and paving of
Spring street, although it was sug
gested this undoubtedly would mean
u!}fthei' raise in the county tax rate.
. JThe commission, following the
presentation Wednesday afternoon
by Mayor Key and at Atlanta street
eommittee of the request that the
county take over the city’'s part of
the expense in the improvement, wili
meet again Saturday to take final
M}ion. \
Commissioners, explaining the fi
nancial troubles of the county and
the difficulty in carrying through
the Spring street project, revealed
the fact that the county his wyear is
in debt in the sum of $900,000.
‘W. M. Poole, chairman of the ¢om
tmission eald:
“We've got to call in our dogs
gomewhere—we’'ve been spending too
much money already.”

Commissioner Oscar Mills, chair
max of County Public Works Com

day would consider a plan, whereby
the county ‘“can straln itself finan
cially a bit more, take over the city’s
share of the cost, and do the Spring

| Farmers Burn
Fence Posts and
Corn; Coal Out
(By International News Secrvice.)
IMPERIAL, Nebr.,, Dec. 4.—
Farmers in this section of the
country started ‘burning fence
posts and corn today when the
last of the supply of coa was
exhausted.
At Belfast and Wayside the
coal supply also has been ex
hausted and ear corn is being
burned.
over SIOO,OOO of the city’s ekpense
next year and shortening the work
to be done, paving the strest fur only
a few blocks instead of the eantire
distance planned—from North ave
nue to Marietta street. Then, later
on, more of the expense could be
taken over and more of the work
done, he explained. The city’s part
350 the expense totals -early $£200,-
But even the adoption of this plan,
it was feared, would require un ad
ditional raise in the county tax rate,
which already has been boosted this
year from 75 cents on the SIOO to
90 cents.
“We are going to do our best to
bring about this great improvement,
but we don’t know yet just what we
will do,” said Mr. Mills,
KEY PLANS FOR PROJECT.
The proj.ct was strongly urged
on the commission at thg Tuesday
session by Mayor Key, nfembers of
the Spring Street Club, headed by
W. T. Perkerson, the chairman, and
other prominent citizens.
Mayor Key in asking the county
to take over the whole of the city's
part, declared the city is unable fi
nancially to assume any of the cost.
In addition to the widening and pav
ing ‘of the street, which the county
already had agrecd to do, the mayor
asked that the county build retaining
walls at Hunnicutt street, readjust
sewers, water mains, and other pipes
and build concreate sidewalks. He
explained that the property. owne!
would be required to take care $
any damage that might be done to
abutting property. ‘
“Unless the county does all of this, |
the prospects for the realization of;
the improvement will fade,” said the
mayor, ‘“And to stop it now would
be nothing less than ml‘xinicipal sui-l
cide and a community d¢rime.” |
BRIDGE TO TERMINAL. i
The mayor urged that the paving
of Spring street would bring about
another great municipal improve-‘
ment in the connecting .of Spring
street with the Terminal Station by
means of a great bridge across the
wide stretch of railroad yards. This
plan also was stressed by Colonel
Lawson Peel, who further suggested
that Alabama street snould be ex
tended aecross the rai'road yards,
connecting with the proposed Spring
street bridge, and then proceed on
to the river.
Mayor Key declare@ the county
could afford to cut short its program
of read building in the country dis
tricts next year in order to save the
Spring street project.”
Morris Brandon pointed out that
Peachtree is now the only thorough
fare leading to the northern section
of the county, and said “this con=-
dition should not be permitted in a
city the size of .Atlanta.”
CITY HAS GROWING PAINS.
State Senator Ivam E. Allan de
clared “Atlanta today is suffering
with growing pains,” that “it is
growing faster than houses can be
built,” and that “another great ar
tery leading North is absolutely es
sential.”
“The paving of Spring street
would be the one biggest thing for
Atlafita since the Civil War,” he de
clared.
Walter G. Cooper read a strong
letter from Mell R. Wilkinson, who
was unable to attend the meeting
because of his absence from the city.
Mr. Cooper also stressed the impor
tance of the Spring street work in
the matter of relieving traffic con
gestion and in the further develop
ment of the city, as did also Frank
P. Rice.
Chamber Asks Buyers to
. i
Rush Freight Unloading
Letters urging prompt removal of
freight from the terminals were sent
to all Atlanta buyers by John M.
Cooper, chairman of the traffic com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
Thursday in response to an urgent
request for co-operation from Fred
erick C. McCool, agent of the At
lanta Joint Terminals.
Mr. McCool appeared before the
committee at a special meeting Wed
nesday. He explained there was
great congestion being caused by the
delay of buyers in coming for freight
shipments. All members agreed to
assist in remedying the situation.

In Albany Twice
ALBANY, Dec, 4.—Three hundred
dollars a quart for whisky is the!
price two Albany men unwittingly
paid a distiller who claimed to have
several ten-gallon kegs of double-run
whisky. The operator announced his
willingness to sell the hooze at S3OO
a keg, and this price was nccentable‘
to the Albany mey who were to meet
him a few miles from the city. When
they met at the apnoiyod place, the
Albany men decided td make an in

being victimized. = They drew off a
quart from the first keg and it sam
pled all right. The keg wus shaken
and the sound of liquid inside con
vinced them that there was more of!
the same kind. The second keg was |
subjected to the same test and given
an o. k. JLaying the S3OO apiece, the
men returned to Albany congratulat
ing themselves on being able to get
such a high grade of liquor at $7.50

that each keg contained bit a littlel
more than a quart of whisky, which
filled the small space above a false
bottom, and that the remafnder of
