The mayor stood to his' position that ha would not go out of office leaving his successor any debts contracted during t/\e past two yeras. The committee tr leu—to no avail—to make up the ap portionment sheet so that $40,000 would ha paid during the' next mayoralty term. After more than two hours' debat Inc. the committee adjourned to meet Monday.at 10 o'clock without reach ing a decision. • The revocation 6f JlqUor licenses' has played havoc with the financial- ma chinery of the city ‘ government," but deeplte this fact It was the unanimous opinion that the move was a good one snd that Atlanta Is today, a far better city than when the Decatur, Peterj and .Marietta streets dives were given a. free rein. ■Mayor Woodward at the opening of the meeting stated that he Intended to go out of office with his administration h;ec of debt, and instructed the com mittee to make up the apportionment sheet accordingly. He stated that' it would not be fair to the next adminis tration to saddle It with debt when the limes were squally. He showed that the revocation of the • licenses wuldfcut off $38,200 from the revenues next year and that the additional po lice, IT put on, would cost that admin istration $40,000 additional., \.The mayor at one moment declared: Twill r.ot allow this money to go over, leu may make out the apportionment gteet, hut If you attempt to carry this minify over I will yeto It and then ev- eiythlng will come to a standstill. You rann.1t get around It. The law says that we cannot carry debts over and I gift here to enforce the law." Councilman Martin brought out a ittong point by declaring that the money would only lie Idle when It was greatly needed at the present time. Chairman Patterson -stated that the iltuitlon was not as serious as the mayor thought, , , Riots Better- Than Prohibition. Mayor Woodward ^declared that he was scared the -city government would be. run by men :whor did - not ’pity enough taxes to feed a mosquito, meaning tbs prohibitionists. "1 had rather have four riots," declared the mayor, "than one prohibition elec lion.' Alderman Key- moved that the mt)n ey be carried over. The committee saw no Use in seconding the motion, as the mayor declared it would do no good. . City Attorney Mayson was - sent for to settle the point whether or not »as egal to carry over the money, could not be found. The following Items were suggested as the only ones which could be cut. The amount brings up the total deficit: Peachtree paving, $12,000; extra police and signal boxes, $12,400; Eighth ward *N ,r *' . ,li ;' |ll0; "'all at Eighth ward ich'Kil, il'.OOO; law claims, $1,000; fire department forage, $500: health de- ift'ment, >],ooo; orady Hospital, 1 ,000; repairing chert, $1,000; bridges, I .OM; waterworks, $1,000; schools, 41.000; Grant park, $1,000: Hunter ban government are expected to be revealed by the American auditors who are examining the financial status of the late republic. Already one scandal has beeu unearthed, and It Is believed others wHI 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 to their positions and opposed any compromise with the in surgents which would lead to giving the liberals power in office and an oppdrtunlty 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 Clenfuegos.

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 llghu in the city and 486 Incandescent lights. The arc light cost $76 per annum and the in candescent lights cost $53.76 per an num, making a total expenditure $91,43S.76 per annum for electric lights. It Is conservatively estimated that with an outlay of about $100,000 additions could be made to the machinery at 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 rotary of the Ascoclated Charities, has done a lot of thinking on the municipal ownership proposition) He has reach ed the conclusion that It is the only thing for the good of the most people. Here Is what Mr. Logan had to say when he turned in his application for membership: Sound Reasoning. ‘The argumehts against municipal ownership resolve themselves to this one statement: On account of politics municipal ownership Is Impractlca ble. ’ ' “At the root of corruption and lnefil dency of politics Is the struggle be tween the public and those private in, terests owning public utllltlss. Re, move the public utility corporation* • from the field of city politics and there are left no private Interests big- and ;strong:enough.to create a 'boss,' th' source of the trouble. The boss ant. corruption and Inefficiency could not exist but for the Indifference and apa thy of a large proportion of good citi zens; and nil our cltlsens cannot be made to actively participate in poll, 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. ••elsyed report. October 6. “The public ownership and operation of public utilities Is not only not im- practlcable on account of the present state of politics, but rather the present state of politics renders imperative the public ownership and operation of pub lic 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 this wider justice without Injustice to any one." a. - j Mr. Logan has done iome thlnKing.

Marquardt has sent the fot lowing letter: ' 'Enclosed you will find four applica tion blanks properly signed for mem bership In the Municipal Ownership League. Municipal ownership Is a sure winner. It is the consensus of opinion of all I come in contact with that the people should own their own ras and electric lights." W. L. Scott, president of the Ameri can Manufacturing Company, with of fices at 86 North Forsyth street, has this to say: "Municipal ownership will most cer- talnly com®, and the people are begin- nlng to open their eyes.

DeLong, a bridge builder, who resides at Peachtree Inn. "I believe It to be one of the best movements and will be a great benefit to the people," Is the view that D, E. Gorman, a, merchant of 774 Marietta street, takes of ths situation. “I am also In favor of the city own ing or controlling the street, railway system," says C. J. Edmondson, a sales man for Keely Company. “Let us have better car service." "I would also be glad to see the city own the street railway system." says D. C. Hemrlch, of 296 South Pryor street, who Is in the railway mall ser vice, while G. W. Summers, a book keeper, who lives at the same place, favors the same thing. Discuss the Proposition. There have been any number of ap plications from the houses throughout the city, which goes to show that the citizens who live together have been thinking over and discussing the prop osition. They come to the conclusion that municipal ownership Is the right thing, and then the league gets them as -members. "Also street railways,” writes J. W. Awtry, member of- the firm of Knott * Awtry, shoe dealers, at 25 White hall street. "I don't believe that any corporation should fall-heir to streets that were paved and sustained by the citizens for the purpose of amassing large 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. W. Hill, of 61 East Alabama street, publisher of the city directory. A. B.

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, and 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- men, who dont’ own’carrlages 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 getlng their vehicles ready for a few minutes' usa "Thon th* atffaat aop fnnilltloa nn- al.ln Washington, Oct. 0.—President Roosevelt and Hon. T. P.

With all the blarney that was exchanged, however, there was a great deal of genuine regard be hind the words exchanged by the two eminent men. 'Then the street car facilities on side streets are not sufficient, and I do not believe could be made so. The cars are all crowded now, Peachtree, Court- land and West Peachtree.

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- slte tho Capital City Club, close to the business district. Their removal would not nffect him at all, as the tracks would still run past his house. Some of the others. do not live on Peachtree. "I believe that the sentiment ot the majority of the * Peachtreo property owners Is against the movement.
