presentation Wednesday afternoon
by Mayor Key and at Atlanta street
committee of the request that the
"e.s)unty take over the city's part of
the expense in the improvement, wili

action.
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 year is
in debt in the sum of $900,000.
‘W. M. Poole, chairman of the com
mission said:
“We’'ve got to call in our dogs
samewhere—we've been spending too
:rfuch money already.”

Farmers Burn
Fence Posts and
Corn; Coal Out
(By International News Service.)
IMPERIAL, Nebr., Dec. 4.—
Farmers in this section of the
country started burning fence
posts and corn today when the
iast of the supply of coal was
exhausted.
At Belfast and Wayside the
coal supply also lLas been ex
hausted and ear corn is being
burned.
over SIOO,OOO of the city’s expense
next vear agd shortening the work
to be done, paving the street {for only
a'few blocks instead of the eatire
distance planned-—from North ave
nue to Marietta street. Then, later
on, more of the expense couid be
taken over and more of the wrork
done, he explained. The city’s part
‘ofo the expense totals nearly &On
000. 3 .
But even the adoption of this plan,
it was feared, would require an ad
ditiomal 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 project was strongly urged
on the comngissiom at the Tuesday
session by Mmyor Key, members of
the Spring Sireet, Club, headed by
W. T. Perkerson, the chairman, and
other prominent citizens.
Mayor Key in asking the county
to take over the whole oof the city’s
part, declared the city is uzable fi
nancially to assumre any of the cost.
In addition to the widening and pav
ing of the "street, which the county
already had agreed to do, the mayor
asked that the county build retaining
walls at Humnicutt street, readjust
sewers, waterr mains, and other pipes
and build coocreate sidewalks. He
explained that the property owners
would be regwired to take care of
any, damage that might be done to
abutting property.
‘{Unless the county does all ?f this,
'thre prospects for the realization of
the improvement will fade,” said the
‘mayor. “And to stop it now would
be nothirg 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 limprove
ment in the conhecting of Spring
street with the Terminal Station by
'means of a great bridge across the
lwtdo stretch of railroad yards. This
plan also was stressed by Colonel
| Lawson Peel, who further suggested
ithar Alabama street should be ex
! tended across the railroad yards,
| connecting with the proposed Spring
! street bridge, and then proceed on
lto the river. .
] Mayor Key dedared the county
{could afford to cut short its program
lof road building in the country dis
ltrlcts next year in order to save the
,Sprlng 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 Ivan E. Allan de
clared “Atlanta today is suffering
with growing pains,” that 6 “it is
growing faster than houses can he
built,” and that “another great ar
tery leadimg 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 G. Cooper read a strong
letter from Mell R. Wilkinson, who
was unable to attend the meeting
bacause of his absence from the city.
Mr. Cooper also stressed the impor
tance of the Spring street work in
the matter of reii~<ving trafflc con
gestion and in i« Murther develop
ment of the efty as did alse Frank
P. Rice. *

ALBANY, Dec, 4—Three hundred
Gollars a quart for whkisky is the
price two Albany men unwitiingly
paid a distiller who claimed to have
several ten-gallon kegs of double-run
whisky. The operator announced his
willingness to sell the booze at S3OO
a keg, and this price was acceptable
to the Albany men who were to meet
him a few miles from the city. When
they met at the appointed place, the
Albany men decided to make an in
vestigation to see that they were not
being victimized. They drew off a
quart from the first keg and it sam
pled all right. The keg was shaken
and the sound of liquid inside con
vineced them that there was more of
the same kind. The second keg was
subjacted to the same test and given
an o. k. Paying the S3OO apiece, the
men returned to Alhany congratulat
ing themselves on being able to get
such a high grade of liguor at $7.50
a quart. Taking it home, they found
that each keg contained but a little
more than a quart of whisky, which
filled the small space above a false
bottom, and that the remainder of
the keg was filled with water. ¥
