No Franchise From
City, It Is Alleged.
Co’s. History.
Alderman James L. Key has drafted
resolution which he will Introduce
In council at the adjourned meeting
Tuesday afternoon calling attention to
the fact that the Atlanta Northern
Railway Company, which operates the
street car line to Marietta, Is using a
franchise to run Its passenger and ex
press cere over the streets of the city
without compensation to the city or
permission from the municipal authori
ties.
The resolution does not stop there.
Curiosity Is not the only thing which
prompts Alderman Key. He wants the
city attorney to take the matter up
and report back a plan of procedure
for the city to enforce compensation.
Text of Resolution.
The resolution, which tells the story,
Is as follows;
Whereas, The Atlanta Northern
Railway Company Is using a public
franchise to run Its passenger and ex
press cars over the streets of the city
of Atlanta; and. whereas, said com
pany has no permission of the munlct
pat authorities to exercise such rights,
and the city doea not receive any com
penaatlon therefore,
"Resolved by the mayor and general
council of the city of Atlanta, That the
city attorney be requested to Inquire
Into the use that said company is pitt
ing the streets of the city of Atlanta to
In running their said cars, and report
what the rights of said company are to
the use of the streets, and what the
remedy of the city of Atlanta Is to
enforce compensation for the rights to
the use of the streets.’’
A Little Hietory.
Behind the name of the Atlanta
Northern Ball way Company there le
little etory. It dates back to the
time when the Atlanta Rapid Transit
Company and t(te Atlanta Consolidated
Htrnet Railway Company really did
consolidate. There w$* a clause In
serted In the permission given by coun
cil stipulating that the conaolldated
ty was to pay the .city 2 1-2 pci
come tax. Thle was agreed to.
Tha city haa been getting Its Income
tax regularly.
But when It came to building the
Atlanta Northern Railway Company
the Income tax was a consideration.
Bo It was decided to change the name
of the company. Therefore, the At
lanta Northern. The Georgia nallway
and Electric Company owns the Atlan
ta Northern Railway Company. The
formality of securing a franchise was
dispensed with—also the formality of
paying the city the 2 1-2 per cent In
come tax. Hence the resolution of
Alderman Key.
There promises to b- something do

In his speech on the commons In New

STRONG OPPOSITION
TO UNION STATION.
Special to The Georgian.
Valdosta, Os., Sept. I.—At a meet
ing of citizens here today to discuss
the question of a union passenger sta
tion ths sentiment was largely against
union station, unless It was built in a
central location. The proposition was
for the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Corgis Southern roads to unite In a
nation near the Junction of the two
r ids half a mile from the business
center.
Vice President Parrott and Super

Grant streets and Georgia avenue U

which Is 18 feet heavenwards. The
fence Is the wprk of 8. W. Sullivan and
competent corps of carpenters.
Ths obstacle to breeze and
beauty la a work of art from the view
point of an Iconoclast. Back of It there
not only the skeleton of a two-story
structure, but the framework of quite
a little history. ■ •
Many years ago W. M. Scott, at pres
ent one of the beat known real estate
dealers of the city, who has his office
nt 73 North Broad street, purchased
the lot at the comer of Gtsnn and
Grant streets. The lot extended back
some 200 feel on Glenn street and had
a frontage of 150 feet on Grant. In
purchasing the lot Mr. Scott put In the
deed the proviso that no house be
tween the residence he would build and
the corner of Georgia avenue should
extend closer than 50 feet to the side'
walk. He then built his home, a 15.
room, 3-story, stone and frame build.
Ing of elaborate design. Things went
well.
Across the street three other houses
were erected, all 2-story and some dis
tance back from the atdewalk. l/.i-se
were occupied by E. P. Burns, K. P.
King and the Messrs. Redded, start
ing from Glenn street and running to
ward Georgia avenue. At the comer
of Georgia avenue there was erected
a Presbyterian church. After several
years It was derided by the trustees of
the church to sell a portion of the
church lot. 8. \Y. Sullivan bought It
and erected a smalt cottage near the
street line, thus cutting oft the view
of the other houses and giving a ragged
appearance to that side of the street.
Mr. Scott in consultation with ths
owner* of the three houses arrogp the
street, declared that he would object
to the cottoge. This got to the ears
of Mr. Sullivan.
. loiter Mr. Sullivan bought the lot
next to the Scott home and also the
third tot from the home. On the lat
ter he built a frame house ohd ex
tended a large heavy porch over the
stipulated 50-foot line. E. Hopkins,
who owns the adjoining property, made
no objection, and so Mr. Scott let the
matter slip. One month ago, however,
after returning from a trip to Atlantic
City, Mr. Scott was surprised to see
the framework of a house next to hlo.
He found that the builder was Mr. Sul
livan, and sent him n letter stating
that he would not allow the house to
be built over the 50-foot line. Mr. Sul
livan continued to build and the house
extended seven feet past the tins. Mr.
Scott held a consultation with his at
torneys anti last Wednesday enjoined
Mr. Sullivan.
The work was stopped on the portion
of the house extending over the line,
while the other continued.
Wednesday evening Mr. and Mra.
Scott, who had been away from their
residence during the day, returned and
were again surprised. Between their
property and the Sullivan property was
the 18x50-font "spite fence." Mrs. Scott
was told by her servants that Mr. Sul
livan had set his entire corps of car
penters at work on the fence and had
hammered throughout the day, even
after sufficient nails had been
driven through the boards to build an
ark they had continued to hammer.
Mr. Sullivan will appear In court on
September 8 to show cause why he
should not tear down the portion of
his structure which extende over the
50-foot line.

DEATH OF POACHERS
EXCITES JAPANESE
By Private Leased Wire.
San Francisco, Sept. 1.—The steamer
Tartar, which arrived yesterday from
Japan and China, brought news that
the killing nf the five Japanese seal
poachers In the raid at Prlblloff islands
had caused great excitement In Japan
and the press Is devoting columns to
the discussion of the affair. One paper
quoted an unnamed Japanese sealing
authority as saying:
'In 1901 some Americans, prohibited
from sealing under their own flag,
started the practice of poaching under
the Japanese flag, with the assistance
of Japanese scalers. Whether the Jap
anese who were killed or Imprisoned
were employed by Americans, or were
acting Independently, Is still uncer
tain.”

the various councllmen who acted dur
ing Judge Broyles' vacation tried 113
Juvenile cases and 1.875 cases where
adults were the defendants. This Is

Night Fir# Wakes Town.
The entire northern section of the
city was aroused about 1:30 o'clock
Saturday morning by the continued
blowing of the whistle at the Palmer
Brick Company’s plant on Marietta
street. The occasion for the noise was
a fire at 828 Marietta street, which en
tirely destroyed the grocery store of
Chamber* & Smith. The whistle at the
brick yards has a deep minor tone, and
to those a little removed from the im
mediate vicinity It seemed almost the '
cry of a human being In distress. The
noise waa added to by a half hundred
nr more dog* which tried to join the
whistle In the concert, and really pro.'
duced a perfect bedlam. Tho amount
of damage dono by the fire Is not
known exactly.
