COMPLETE SURRENDER TO LIQUOR DEALERS City Counc/imen Renege—Gas Commit tee Report Causes Much Talk But is Fi nally Sidetracked Back to Committee. WHAT COUNCIL DID A7 MONDAY'S SESSION The only thing accomplished at the live hour*' session of city council Monday afternoon was the complete surrender to the petitions for liquor licenses In West Mitchell street. This surrender was due to the revoca tion of pledges made by councilman a year ago. Alderman Key's committee report on the ga* franchise matter caused a world of talk, much heat and not a little nervousness. It was Anally re ferred back to the committee. Saloon men came, saw and conquered at the long-drawn-out session of city council Monday afternoon, which, after four and a half hour*, adjourned to meet again Thursday at t o'clock, to compute the Immense amount of work before the body. Two things were accomplished Mon day. The opposition was successful In getting the question of municipal con trol of gas put off until another time and licenses were given to alt the sa loon men who desired them. Aelde from these, then was nothing done. From the time the meeting was called to order until the motion was unanimously carried to take a two- days' recess a battle royal raged. In teresting from every view point. The sentiments expressed alone would have held the attention of the “rankest out elder," and the underlying motives ac tuating the moves and counter-moves heightened this, making the session unique. Military Park Report The Arst, aa well as the last, matter touched upon was that of the national military parka, which, It Is hoped. At lanta will be successful In getting an appropriation to build and maintain. The report of the large special com mlttee was accepted and a delegation will be appointed by council to take the matter before the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic this year In Minneapolis. When brought up at the close of the session the bill to be presented by Congressman Llvlngaton wa* read and approved. Chairman Ed- mund W. Martin, of the committee. Importance to get the bill national body before It adjourned. Enters Gas Report. The second matter taken up was tha report of the special committee ap pointed to look Into the charter of the Atlanta Gas Light Company. Aa chair L. Key returned a mlnorl man, James ty report. It was decided to take up one proposition at a time and thus vote on each of tha six separately. At the last session of council, Alderman Joseph Hlrsch moved to table the en tire report as soon ne It hnd been read, This motion was killed, but It was sent back to the committee. After the Aral 'position,' which Is to have pro; the city attorney bring suit against the com pany to ascertain exactly how valid the gas franchise end charter ere and what rlghta tha city has, Alderman Hlrsch moved that the report of the majority be accepted. Three of the committee had voted against and two for the Arst proposition. Alderman Key, who saved the port at the previous session of council ly a ble a timely speech after the undebat- motion of tabling bad been made, took the Aoor, and In no uncertain words expressed hie opinion of the manner In which certain members of council were attempting to get rid of the question at Isau*. “He'e Not Sincere,'’ Says Key. •I don't believe,” eald Mr. Key, "that the alderman Is sincere in His motion. From his previous action on this im portent subject he does not cere wheth- it ic a minority report or a majority report which ho moves to be accepted, the minority report wee against the proposition ho would have moved to accept that. He la simply in favor of the gas company.” Mr. Key continued by declaring that could not understand the position „ the council on the matter, that they were not even willing to see whether not the gas company ha* the rights .. was exercising. Mr. Key then went Into a short discussion of the gas com pany's franchise. Amont other things he said that such a thing as a perpet ual franchise was unconceivable to the mind of man. "After 2,000 years, why the franchise will be only In Its youth. will be a thing Just started If It b perpetual.” He then questioned wheth *r there could be such a thing aa a per petual franchise. He brought up the taking over of the Get# City Gas Com he pany, which, he declared, woe don* without legislative authority, and alio that that company's charter had ex pired by limitation. He discussed the awe of thirty-year limitation, the late ■tat* charter made effective many veare ago, and the amendment to the present gas company's charter. He also took up the provision In the origi nal charter of the present company conAnlng It to operating within one mile of the city'* center and the pro- poses end not for heating. He declared that thee* matters were for the courts to settle, and that such a suit would not Injure the gas company that thought nothing of aults. having al- way* a competent corpa of attorney*. Further. Mr. Key declared, the city of printing, binding LITHOGRAPHING AND NOVELTY ADVERTISING Atlanta need not be afraid of Infrlng ing on the rights of the gaa company, as It could not overatep the bounds one Inch without being submerged In law suits, and stated that the committee appointed to look Into the matter had not even been treetgd with proper re spect by certain of the gas company's attorneys, and that It was the duty of the council to vindicate the committee In^hree matters. Concluding, Mr. Key •'Certainly, your honor, we are not going to allow the Atlanta Gaa Com pany to settle upon the rights of the citizens of Atlanta.” Hammond Takes the Floor, On the motion of Aldorman Key, the rules were suspended and Attorney T. A. Hammond, representing the gas company, was given the Ac Mr. Hammond based hi* l along the line that the city of Atlanta could not do without the company that It was a benefactor of the city that the charter was granted flfty year* back as perpetual when the city was only a strangling village, and that It waa aa good now 0» then; that the company had shared the reverses and the beneAta of the city, sticking to It through thick and thin, apd that even If there were technical point* which could take from the company a portion of Ita plant and franchise, all moral law waa against such. The latter por tion of Mr. Hammond's speech was almost entirely based on the gratitude the city should feel to the gaa com pany. The address was delivered In a heat, ed manner. Rising to a climax at one time, he exclaimed; "Mr. Key said In committee that If the committee did not make a favorable report he would take the matter before council and If council did not see At (o vote favorably 6n the report he himself would Aght It .... ^ do ' lo not take from him the honor. Let him Aght It out alone." He also declared, turning to Alderman Key, after stating that the committee had only voted fa, vorably on the two portions of the ordl nanco to satiety the one he was ad dressing, "Tea, there 1* some satlsfae tlon you can have. You have already Injured the company by hurting Its securities." He aaked If the city was prepared to take over the gae works. "Is the city prepared to spend $75,000 In the erection of a gae plant?" To the council he said that no matter what the city wanted, the men would net be afraid to do what waa right and aeked that the whole matter be dropped. Hammond was then questioned by Councilman Terrell and Martin. Councilman Terrell proposed to re- totnmlt proposition No. 1 and Council man Martlh moved that the whole re port be recommitted to be reported on again more fully. Aldermen Key said If ona portion of the report waa sent back to committee he would rather have It all sent back. Mr. Key further stated that If there was a cloud placed over the gas com pany a* had been stated by Mr. Bam mond, he could not eea why they. If they were In the right, were opposed to a suit. He denied that he had made any such statement as that ha would continue the Aght If the council saw At to turn the matter down, but on the contrary had stated that If the council turned It down he would feel that he had done hie duty. Mr. Hem mond said ha muet hare misunder stood Mr. Key. Key’s Hot Rejoinder. In closing hie answering argument, Mr. Key said: "Maybe Mr. Hammond rannot understand such a thing ss die. Interestednesa, but I came to council, not to line my pockets with money, but to win what he and all of ue should atrlve to win and what we should be here for, to win the plaudit* of those we represent. He may not understand this, but I do, and for tbla reason I have fought for this matter which the public Is vitally Interested In." The matter waa then referred back to committee. Liquor Question Up Again. Although the dramatic feature* of the liquor question, the other matter taken up. were not as pronounced as those In the gss situation, they were equally aa Interesting. The feature, bordering on the ridiculous at times, wa* the "back-eliding" of some of those who had promised their support to the Mitchell street anti-saloon license. Af ter a long Aght the .saloons, seven In all, applying for licenses on Mitchell street, were given licenses and Oann A Oarrsux, 22$ Simpson street, after being turned down, were also given a license. The A rat Vole on this saloon stood 10 to 10, when Mayor Pro Tern. Harwell voted against the saloon. When, on the motion of Councilman Terrell, this was reconsidered and It waa explained that the proprietors would eliminate the negro feature of the saloon, they were granted a license by a vote of 12 to I. A rather peculiar circumstance cropped out at this Juncture. Council man Glass had led the opposition against granting the saloon license. Councilman Pattlllo arose and asked Councilman Glass If Gann did not man Councilman Glass ares* to hie feet be fore the question had been completed, and, leaning over his desk, at the con clusion, declared In an excited voice that It was not true, that such a thing had nothing to do with the matter any way. The applicant* for llcenaes on West Mitchell street were; B. Rosenthal. No. 5: J. D. Brady A Bro., No. I; Roth schild, Na 21; Campbell A Pool*. No. 21; A. A.

He argued changed and their opinions had un dergone the same operation.
