another raise in the county tax rate.
The ecommission, following the
presentation Wednesday afternoon
by Mayor Key and at Atlanta street
committee of the request that the
\ eounty take over the city's part of
she expense in the improvement, wili

Corn; Coal Qut
(By International News Service.)
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 coal 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 expense
next year and shortening the work
to be done, paving the streat for only
a few bloeks instead of the eatire
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‘
(%o the expense totals -earlvy $200,-
But even the adoption of this plan,
it was feared, would require an ad- |
ditional raise in the county tax rate.‘
which already has been boosted this |
vear from 75 cents on the SIOO (0‘
90 cents,-
“We are gaing to do our best to
bring about this great improvement,
but we don't know vet just what we
will do,” said Mr. uills. p |
KEY PLANS FOR PROJECT. |
The project was strongly urged
on the commission at the Tuesglay.!
session by Mayor Key, members 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 p&v—‘
ing of the street, which the county
already had agreed to do, the mayor
asked that the county build retaining
walls at Hunnicutt street, rea.djust‘
sewers, water mains, and other pipes‘
and Dbuild concreate sidewalks. He
explained that the property owners‘
would be required to take care of
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 municipal sui
cide and a community crime.”
BRIDGE TO TERMINAL,
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 suould be ex
tended across the railroad yards,
connectirg with the proposed Spring
street bridge, and then proceed on
10 the river,
Mayor Key declare@ the county
could afford to cut short its program
of ‘road 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 o? Atlanta.” |
), CITY HAS GROWING PAINS.
State Senator Ivan 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
Atlanta since the Civil War,” he de
clared.
Walter . Cooper read a strong
letter from Mell R. Wilkinson, who
was unable to attend the meeting
' because of his absenae from the city.
Mr. Cooper also stressed the impor
tance of the Spring street work in
the matter of relieving traffid ce.a
gestion and in the further develop
ment of the city, as did also Trank
P. Rice. . |
Chamber Asks Buyers to
