NEWS OF INTEREST TO MEN
WHO WRITE POLICIES, AND
CHRISTMAS FIRE WARNING
The approach of Christiana I* nltvays
recorded with more or less npprehen-
alnn by lire Irtauranpe men, on nrcount
of the elaborate but tnfiammable ills,
rl ivs Which many stores make of the
holiday roods. The greater part of
such area start In show' windows, par
ticularly those where electric lights are
used lavishly and which are not dust
proof. A' set of excellent rules for the
guidance of merchants In making
Christians displays safe from the dan
cers of nrn Is given as follows by Fire
Marshal. Creamer:
Never use swinging gas brackets.
Don't decorate, with straw, leaves or
paper. Don't use cotton to Imitate
snow, anywhere. Don't use electric
wires as lines to hang displays on.
Don't fall to put out smokers nr their
tigers. ■ Don't use arc lights without
■park arresters. Don't have any light
•wltlmut a globe or wire screen. Don't
«ut off ventilation from thr show win
dows. or the heat from electric bulbs
may become strong enough to set lire.
Dont put Inflammable stuff ugalnst nn
electric light socket or bulb. Don't
liavo bulbs In windows bung by flex
ible cords. Don't hnre open lights
Tnr ribbons, fancy impels and light
.fabrics to blow Into. Don’t block nlrles
«ur exits .with displays, to Increase the
■lunger from fire panic. Don't fall, If
'you have a department store, to test
-The fire apparatus and havo your extra
•* !arki participate In a fire drill. Don't
Slavs sales or pocking rooms littered
•w ith rubbish from unpacking. This Is
one of the greatest dangers. He rare-
tful about exposing celluloid to heat.
2n a store at Waldo, last month, n
bundle of celluloid combs exploded
jfrcni having a lamp placed two test
below them. It Is well, also, to re
member that If any electric displays
art to be used, they must be Inspect
ed and approved by a competent In-
■I ector or the Are Insurance policies
,m the premises will be void under their
conditions.
Still Paying to Frisco.
Fire Insurance companies are still
paying losses at Kan Francisco, ul-
.though the majority have cleared up
all their liabilities there. A few figures
i from the recent special reporta of the
companies Illustrate the tremendous
drain which the lire insurance capital
fit this country and Great Britain has
been called upon to sustain. .The fol-
Insurance Company, ns rccelvor ap
pointed by the courts of that stale, left
Atlanta iin Friday without accomplish
ing hfo purpose, ns the securities are
all In the hands of Receiver John M.
Klaton, appqlnted. by Judge I'endleton

R!rtn)rtgtiani ! wak chartered under- the
Inws of that state, they have the right
to the administration of the compoliy's
n(fairs, but the Georgia claimants feel
otherwise and an Interesting legal
struggle seems to be In prospect unless
nn agreement can be made for a Joint
receivership, which seems probable.
Mr. Bvxtqn will return to Atlanta Bat-
urdny.
Big Bond In Metropolitan.
The executrix of the estate of J. M.

An Important change In local Insur
ance circles was made this week In the
transfer of tho Kagle Fire Insurance
Company of New York from the office

Tho electric line between thin city

The Augusta-Alken line, which was

The special committee appointed for

ined the books of the committee, nnd

through the special Instrumentality of
Air. Crawford Jackson, the chairman of

sistants, nnd the work tins been done

with commendable economy. We And
that the work has been pressed In ev
ery quarter of the South, and that a
very considerable Interest tn the move
ment has been aroused throughout all
sections; that at a grant many points
tho movement looking to the estab
lishment of Juvenile courts has arntfli-
cd special Interest, nnd voluntary Juve
nile courts have been established.
We believe that the entire rountry is

OF NEW RAILROAD.
McRae, Dec. 8.—Tho abort line nt
railroad that waa built nome time ago
from the Southern railway at McRae
to the Seaboard Air Line haa been re
organized. and the new management
haa put it Into operation.
The difficulty that haa been In the
way for nome time In getting connection
with thene two great Southern nyntemn,
but that now I* annured. Two loaded
earn have been pushed over the road
and tendered to the Southern railway,
and unless they permit the connection
with their track. It la stated litigation
will be Instituted under the recent
Interstate commerce acts.
ANGRY BECAUSE CORPSE
LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM
Who Is looked upon as the head ,of
the city government? On whom lies
the mbst responsibility and to whom
goes the moat blame If anything Is
nmtsa during hla term of office?
Everybody knows what the proper
answer Is. The mayor, of course. His
is the position of most honor, of most
Importance, and of most ■ responsibil
ity. And this Is why the question Is
naked:
“Why should he not get the most
pay?'
As a matter of fact, there are ten
officials who receive as nulch pay for
their services, under the present salary-
system, as the mayor. At the meeting
of council Thuraday, called especially
tn consider the proposed raises In sal
ary, one of the atrongest arguments ad
vanced for this raise, was to mako the
heads of departments of equnl Im
portance get equal pay, but no move
was made to havo the head of tho
whole administration get more than
the head or a single depaiiment.
Lett Than Fire Chief,
The mayor gets 93,005. The chief
of the fire department for the last ten
years has been getting 94,000, free
house rent, and other conceaslons. This
has been remarked not because this was
too much for the chief, but because It
is thought the former amount was too
little for the mayor.
The city attorney gets 93,000, the
same as the mayor. The qlty comp
troller gets the same. The city dork
gets the tame, The tax collector gets
the same. The superintendent of wa
terworks gets the same. Likewise,' the
city engineer and the chief of police,
commissioner of public works and the
recorder.
It la pointed out that "Cap" Joyner
resigned a position, with the pay of
94,000 a year, to accept the highest
position In the city government, that
of mayor, and thnt he will get 31.000
less I-ay.
Mayor Woodward, having twice been
mayor, was asked for a statement 1n
regard to the apparent Inconsistency
tn the pay of tbe chief executive of
the city government, ns compared with
the heads of subordinate departments.
“Looke Inconsistent.”
"1 can have no personal Interest in
this now,’ said ths mayor, “as my ad
ministration closes In Just a few- weeks,
and any change In the salary of the
mayor can’t possibly affect me any
mnre than It does any other dtlsen of
Atlanta.
'it does seem Inconsistent to me,
though, to give all these men as much
as the mayor. Not that they don't
deserve what they get, but If they do,
then the mayor deserves more. Why,
Macon. not half the site of Atlanta,
nm- hulf so rich, puys her mayor ns
much as Atlanta.
'I say the mnyor ought to be the
highest paid official of the city, ami
any reasonable inan will bear me out,
! think. I am down on record as hav
ing advocated this, so no surprises are
due.
