The communication follows:
"To th* General Council of the City of

"Gentlemen: You will recall the fact
that some time ago your honorable
body granted to the Southern Light

Incorporated under the laws of Geor
gia—and In case of failure to do ao the
same powers ware granted to the North
Georgia Electric Company—the right to
establish an electric light plant for the
purpose of furnishing heat, power and

granted the further rights of laying
conduits and erecting poles for the
distribution of such current, and the
said company was given ths right to
use by lease the conduits of (he Atlanta

either by underground or poles, but all
the permits that have been asked for
have bean In the name of tha Atlanta
Telephone Company, and It was gen
erally understood In the discussions
when that matter was up before the
committee* that the Atlanta Telephone
Company had a perpetual charter. The
Atlanta Telephone Company la asking
for a permit on some streets for eigh
teen conduits, on another for twenty-
four conduits and on knottier as high
as thirty conduits. It appears to me
that this Is an unusuqT
of conduit* to put on any one street,
ss It would accommodate 11,004 tele
phones.
"1 am Informed by the city electrician
that the way these conduit* are being
laid In th* streets practically builds a
wall nearby seven feet high, and this
being placed underground would se
riously Interfere with the connection
of houses to the seweri, besides other
service pipes.
"I bristly submit this to your honor
able body and suggest that tht'matter
be referred to the committee on electric
light*, telephones and telegraphs anil
the board of electrical control for thor
ough Investigation, and further suggest
that no permit be granted the Atlanta
Telephone Company for any further
work In this line until the matter Is
finally settled. 1 would further sug-
gest that no permits be granted to any
company now using the public high
ways for public utility purposes, o.
which may hereafter apply for same,
unless they secure Georgia charter*

By Private Leased Wire.
Washington, June 4.—Disclosures so
horrifying aa to be almost beyond be
lief are made In the special report on
the Chicago packing houses prepared
by Charles P. Kelli, commissioner of
labor, and James B. Reynolds, of New
York, and submitted to congress today
by President Roosevelt.
In his message accompanying the
report the president characterizes con
ditions found by the two Investigators
as “revolting," and urges Immediate
and drastic legislation "In thd Interests
of health aod decency.”
Recommends Beveridge Bill.
He not only recommends the passage
of the so-called Beveridge amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill,
but threatens to destroy the foreign
business of the packers should congress
fall to provide for Federal Inspection
"f ni'-.its .if all stages of preparation.
In the event of such failure the pres
ident soys he will be compelled to order
that Inspection labels and certificates
on canned products shall not be used
hereafter. Without, these labels the
products will be excluded from Euro-
pp.’in markets.
Is Not Nice Reading.
The Kelll-Reynolds report Is not nice
reading. It Is a story of filth and pollu
tion. Some of the statements are ac
tually sickening.
The packers are charged with dis
placing absolute disregard, not only of
the accepted rules of sanitation and
cleanliness, but also those of common
decency.
In describing dirty conditions In the
meat handling rooms and the disgust
ing practices of the employees, the two
Investigators have been compelled to
use plain language. They tell only
what they actually saw during their
two and a half weeks' visit In Packing-
town.
Numerous affidavits were presented
to them, most of which were rejected,
BV POISONOUS MEAT
Sensational Declara
tion Made By Gen.
Miles.
By Private Leased Wire.
Kansas City. Mo.. Juno 4.—“I beilevi
that 3,000 United States soldiers lost
thelrvlives because of adulterated. Im
pure, poisonous meat,*’ said General
Miles, commander-ln-chlef of the army
during the war with Spain, today.
"There Is no way of estimating the
number of soldiers whose health was
ruined by eating Impure food.
"The disclosures about the packing
house products now being exposed are
no news to me. I knew It years ago. I
told what I knew then. Had tho mat
ter been taken up at that time thou
sands of lives would have been spared.
"I have a barrel' of testimony on the
subject In the way of affidavits that I
collected when I tnado my Investiga
tions several years ago. The Investi
gation closed and refused to hear 2.000
witnesses whom I had ready. At that
time I could have secured the testimony
of 10,000 men that the canned beef sold
to the army was lm-ure, adulterated
and unwholesome.
"In my Investigation of embalmed
beef during the Spanish-American war
I found poisons were used to preserve
meat.
”1 turned the reports over to the war
department and n whitewashing In
vestigation was Instituted and success
fully carried out. The report was that
n colossal error had been made. As a
matter of fact, It was a colossal fraud,
and the persons that, perpetrated It and
were Interested In It should have been
sent to the penitentiary."
as being beyond the possibility of veri
fication In the limited time at their
disposal.
Inquiry 8till in Progress.
Attention Is called by both the presi
dent and the Investigators that the
present report lr only preliminary, and
that certain serious charges, especially
those in connection with the alleged
Improper use of chemicals and dyes In
"doctoring" meats that otherwise would
have to be discarded, are still the sub
ject of Inquiry.
However, the report submitted today
more than sustains tho most serious
allegations that have been made by
Independent Investigators respecting
the lack of sanitation nnd cleanliness,
and shows graphically that the present
system of government Inspection Is en
tirely Inadequate to prevent germ-
laden meat products being thrown gen
erally on the market at home as well
ns abroad.
Conditions are Described.
Prefacing their report with the re
mark that they have restricted their
statements to "those practices and con
ditions which we found most common,
and not confined to a single house or
class of houres," the Investigators
proceed first to describe the conditions
of the ynrds. They say that the pave
ments are mostly of brick, laid with
deep grooves between them which In
evitably fill up with manure and re
fuse.
"Such pavements," they declare, "enn
not be properly clennctl, and Is slJmv
and malodorous with wet, yielding
clouts of 111-smelling dust when dry."
