THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. Has Hot Time in Making Apportion ment Sh,eet. .Mayor Woodward versus the finance committee. • - A battle of many rounda was fought Saturday morning and ended In a draw. The mayor stood to his position that he would not go out of office leaving his auccessor any debts contracted during the past two yeras. The committee tried—to no avail—to make up the ap pbrtionment shiet so that 140,000 would be paid during the next mayoralty term. After more than two hours' debat lug, the committee adjourned to meet .Monday at 10 o'clock without reach lng a decision. The revocation of liquor licenses has played havoc with the financial ma chlnery of the city government, but despite this fact it was the unanimous opinion that the move was a good one and that Atlanta Is today a far better city than when the Decatur, Peters anil .Marietta streets dives were given free rein. .Mayor Woodward at the opening of the meeting stated that he Intended to go out of office with his administration free of debt, and instructed the com mlttee to make up the apportionment sheet accordingly. He stated that It would not be fair to the next admlnli tratlon to saddle it with debt when the times were squally. He showed that the revocation of the licenses would cut off 138,200 from the revenues next year und that the additional po lice, If put on, would cost that admin istration 140,000 additional. The mayor at one moment declared "I will r.nt allow thla money to go over. Tou may make out the apportionment sheet, but if you attempt to carry this money over I will veto tt-and then ev erything will come to a standstill. You rannot get around It. The law says that we cannot carry debts over and I »m here to enforce the law.” Councilman Martin brought out strong point by declaring that the money would only lie idle when It was greatly needed at the present time. Chairman Patterson stated that the situation was not as serious as the mayor thought. Riot* Better Than Prohibition. Mayor Woodward, decliced that he was scared the city government would be run by .irtarp -who did not pay enough tnxpa to feed a mosquito, tneening the prohibitionists. "I had rather have' four riots,'' declared the mayor, "than one prohibition elec- Alderman Key moved that the mon *>' be carried over. The committee aaw no use in aecondlng the motion, as ths mayor declared It would do no good. City Attorney Mayson' was sent for In settle the point whether or not it was legal to carry over the money. He could not be found. The following, items were suggested is the only ones which could' be cut. The amount brings up the total deficit: Peachtree paving, *12,000; extra police ind Signal boxes, *12,400; Eighth ward lowers, $0,400; wall at Eighth ward ichool, $2,000; law claims,, (1,000; flre lepsrtment forage, (BOO; health de partment, *1,000; Grady Hospital, ,Mf>; repairing chert, *1,000; bridges, 11,000; waterworks, *1,000; schools, ll.ooo; Grant park, *1,000; Hunter meet work, *2,500; chapel street chert, luno; Grank park expenses, *500; temeterles, jso; building ofllce, *50; meets (ordinary), *1,307.50; St. Paul .'hert, $500; curbing, sidewalks and (utters, $750: total, *47,107.50. ?ome of theao Items will be entirely :ut out.

Havana, Oct. S.—Both sides of the Cuban factions who are warring among themselves on the one hand and the Americans entrusted with the bringing about of disarmament and In tervention, are both marking time to- day. At Pinar del Rio, the deadlock is still on. and it Is believed that a clash between the Liberals and the old gov ernment forces Is Inevitable. The roads are lined with Liberal forces, who still refuse to give uo their arms. Wholesale Frauds Found. Threats sent into the city have vir tually put Pinar del Rio In a state of siege. If Pino Guerra, the Liberal leader, arrives today It la believed that he will decree peace and order the Liberals to give up their arms. Wholesale frauds on the part of of- . fleers connected with the former Cu- stolen. I ban government are expected to be revealed by the. Amerlcap auditors who are examining the financial status of the late republic. Already one scandal has beeu unearthed, and It is believed others will follow- in many of the governmental departments. Thousands of Dollars Stolen. Knowledge that an Investigation would bring to light such facts may account for the tenacity with which many of the former Cuban office holders clung $o their positions and opposed any compromise with the in surgents which would lead to giving the liberals power. In office and an opportunity to investigate the manner In which the republic affairs had been conducted. The scandal already brought to light Is In the government commissary de partment at Clenfuegoa.

It Is a natural presumption that the Georgia Railway and Electric Company gets coal for the same, even less, figure. What Atlanta Pays. There are 1,001 arc lights In the city and 485 Incandescent lights. The arc light cost *75 per annum and the In candescent lights cost *33.75 per an num, making a total expenditure of *91,433.75 per annum for electric lights, It Is conservatively estimated that with an outlay of about *100,000 additions could be made to the machinery a; the waterworks pumping station so that the city could supply lights for all of the arcs and incandescent lamps, pay ing the price for coal that she is pay ing now. That would be considerably cheaper. J. C. Logan, an attorney, and sec retary of the Ascoclated Charities, has done a lot of thinking on the municipal ownership proposition. He has reach ed the conclusion that It la the only thing for the good of the most people. Here. Is what Mr. Logan had to say when he turned in hts application for membership: 8ound Reasoning. The arguments against municipal ownership resolve themselves to this one statement: On account of politics municipal ownership la Impractica ble. “At the root of corruption and lneffi ciency. of politics Is the struggle be tween the publle and those private In terests owning public - utilities. Re move the public utility corporations from the field of city politics and there are Jeft no private interests big and strong enough-Ao create s 'boss,' the, source of the trouble. The boss and odrruptlbri add Inefficiency could not. ektat but for the Indifference and apa thy of a large proportion of good citi zens; and all our cltlxens cannot be made to actively participate In poli tics except by bringing about an In timate connection between the admin istration of their city's affairs and the cost to the of such necessities as lights and water and car service. •♦eltyed report, October 6. The public ownership and o$>eratlon public utilities Is not only not im practicable on account of the present state of politics, but rather the present state of politics renders imperative the public ownership and operation of pub ic* utilities. 'The cure for the Ills of Democracy is more Democracy. Therefore let us have municipal owner ship as soon as possible: but let us bring about thla wider Justice without Injustice to any one." Mr. Logan has done some thinking. His thinking Is the result of careful observation and study. He has the sit uation well In hand and his words are entitled to consideration. Is a Sure Winner. L. P.

"I don't believe that any corporation should fall heir to streets that were paved and sustained by the cltlsens for the purpose of amassing targe fortunes without the output of a cent of their own, except to keep the tracks and rolling stock in order." “Also the street railways and all oth er public utilities,” Insists J.

"Businea men on Peachtree don’t want-the street car tracks .taken up. I don’t believe they will be removed. Certainly it would be a great mis take.” M. R. Emmons, of 794 Peachtree, voiced his sentiments, arid those of a number of Peachtree residents with whom he has talked, Saturday morn ing. He showed many, reasons why the street , cars should continue on the city's leading thoroughfare. “In the first place,” he said, "there are many on Peachtree, plain busi ness men, who dont’ own carriages or motor cars. And those who do own them do not use them for coming to business. They.had rather jump on a car than to bother with geting their vehicles ready for a few minutes' use. "Then the street car facilities on side streets are not’ sufficient and I do dot believe could be', made so. The cars FAMOUS JOLLIERS .

They cannot all afford to hire vehicles. Business men would quit going home to luncheon If the cars were removed. The street'car company would lose a lot of business if the tracks were taken off the principal show street. "One of the men who has advocated the removal of the tracks lives oppo site the Capital City Club, close to the business district. Their removal would not affect him at nil, as the tracks would still run past his house. Some of the others do. not live on Peachtree. I believe that the sentiment of the majority.of the Peachtree property owners is against the movement. They have said little, tor they have not be fore been given an opportunity, and besides they have thought the matter not serious enough to bother about.
