Chief Joyner's resignation may be re

the application of the Atlanta and Car

A* for the paving of Peachtree, the

not be done without opposition.

like $500. This will be enough to
starve out the dive's and Is an amount
which It l« thought the better class
of clubs can well afford to pay In or
der to gain the desired end.
It Is hard to see how the council
