opinion Thursday that some plan

2‘: the widening and paving of
pring street, although it was sug-
J=ested this undoubtedly would mean
another raise in the county tax rate.
The commission, following the
presentation Wednesddy afterngon
by Mayor Key and at Atlanta street
sommittee of the request that the
‘o\mty take over the city's part of
the expense in the improvement, wili
meet again Saturday to take final
action.
Commissioners, explaining the fi
nancial troublées 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 sumtof $300,000.
W. M. Poole, chairman of the com
missien said:
“We've got to call in our dogw
s@cwhere—we‘ve been spending too
much money already.”

Farmers Burn
Fence Posts and
Corn; Coal Qut
(By International News Service.)
IMPERIAL, Nebr., Dec. 4.—
Farmers in this section of the
country started burning fence
posts and eorn today when the
last of the supply of coal was
exhausted.
At Belfast and Wayside the
coal supply also has Dbeen ex
hausted and ear corn is being
burned.
|over SIOO,OOO of the clty’s expense
| next year and shortening the work
|to be done, paving the streat for only
‘a few blocks instead of the eatire
diiangce planned—from North ave
|nué to Marietta street. Then, later
|on, more of the expense could be
|taken over and more of the work
{done, he explained. The eity’s part
Jfg(‘;n the expense totals 4early $200,-
I But even the adoption of this plan,
it was feared, would require an ad
lditional raise in the county tax rate,
which already has been boosted this
yvear from 75 cents on the SIOO to
90 cents,
“We are going te do our best to
bring about this great improvement,
but we don’'t knew yet just what we
will do,” said Mr. Mills, g
KEY PLANS FOR PROJECT.
The project was strengly urged
on the commission at the Tuesday
session by Mayor Key, members of
the Spring Street Club, headed by
W. T. Perkerson, the chairman, and
other prominent citizens. 3
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 ¢f 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 Hunnicutt street, readjust
sewers, wateyr mains, and other pipes
and build 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 thamn munieipal 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 briuge across the
wide stretch of railroad yards. This
plan also was stressed by Colonel
“Lawson Peel, who further suggested
| that Alabama street smould be ex
| tended aeross the railroad yards,
| connecting with the proposed Spring
| street bridge, and then proceed on
|to the river.
| Mayor Key declare®@ the county
eould afford to eut short its program
lnf road building in the ecountry 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 seetion
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 “it isa
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 G. Ceoper read a streng
letter frem Mell R. Wilkinson, who
| was unable to attend the meeting
because of his absence from the city.
Mr. Cooper also stressed the impeor
tance of the Spring street work in
the matter of relie~ing traffic con
gestion and iv tlws further develop
ment of the efty as did alsec Frank
P. Rice.
Chamber Asks Buyers to
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
leriek C. McCool, agent of the At
|lanta Joint Terminals.
| Mr. McCool appeared befere the
| committee at a special meeting Wed
| nesday. He explained there was
|great congestion being caused py the
} delay of buyers in coming for freight
{shipments. All members agreed to
- assist in remedying the situation.

Game Resurrected
g
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
saveral ten-gallon kegs 01; 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
Albaw men decided to make an in
vestigation to see that they were not
being vietimized. 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
vinced them that there was more of
the same kind. The second keg was
subjeeted to the same test and given
an o. k. Paying the S3OO apiece, the
men returned to Albany congratulat
ing themselveg on being able to ~ct
such a high grade of lguor 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.
