ASK BETTER SERVICE
ON EAST POINT LINE
By a resolution of the county com
missioners at their meeting Wednes
day morning the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company waa requested to
put on a better service on Its East
Point line. It was stated In the reso
lution that the street car people were
not furnishing as good schedules as
they promised when the franchises
were obtained from the county and the
towns through which the track passes.
For the legislative committee, Sir.
Anderson reported that the only thing
the committee had to tell waa that Mr.
Blackburn’s constabulary bill didn't get
through the legislature.
A petition from the Boys' Club of
Atlanta, In which was Incorporated
something of the aims of that organi
sation, asked that the commissioners
help it along with an appropriation.
The matter was referred to the county
attorney for his opinion.
City Councilman Terrell appeared be
fore the board to try to hurry along
the work which the county authorities
have “resoluted” t5 do on West Hun
ter street near the Atlanta University.
The city ha» available 32,500 appropri
ated and 3500 contributed by Interest-,
ed persons and Is ready to do its part
of the Improvement of the street any
time.
The resolution adopted by the com
missioners some time since provided
that the preliminary grading be done
by the county. It la said that the open
ing of the proposed thoroughfare will
give a large section a shorter cut to
the heart of the city and will probably
Induce the building of an electric car
line.
But this was not the only call for
the services of the county chain gang,
and tho matter was referred to the
road* committee.
One petitioner protested that the next
place the county's road-builders should
be sent was to open up a road to
Hollywood cemetery. Others asked that
the Meson-Turner ferry road get what
Improvement was coming to It as soon
as possible, and still others told how
buggies or wagons on Bellwood avenue
had to turn out Into the woods In order
to get along at all
Numerous other petitions for the lm
provement of old roads and the open
Ing of new ones were presented and
referred to committees.
One man wanted pay for his hors;,
which hail been killed as a result of
shying at a road roller. He didn't get
It, however.
A bill of costs for paying the Jurors
who tried a recent nuisance , case
against a negro dance hall was pre
sented by the parties bringing the suit
and was referred to the finance com
mlttee.
