On leaving college In 1883 he began the practice of civil engineering nnd followed that profession until 1900, when lie entered the service of til. Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company.

He had been very III for six weeks, but began to relapse Wednesday morning when hope for his recovery wus lost. The members of the family were at the bedside. Dr. Ollen was a graduate of tho Philadelphia Medical College. Ho was born In McDutne county, Georgia, ari-1 came to Atlanta fifteen years ago. J>r.

'By all means, council should over ride the veto-of the mayor and thus adopt the restrictions put on the liquor traffic and raise the licenses as pro posed.” This Is the statement- of Frank, P. Rice, president of the board of water coqimlsslaners,-a'prominent Atlantan, who served In ’ council eleven years, tho longest service In the history of the city, with one exception. • Mr. Rice was a member of the coun cil committee that helped draw up the compromise ordinance regulating the whisky traffic, which Is now In force, and which Mayor Woodward so ardent ly advocates. "That compromise ordinance" won't do now," said Mr. Rice, "and I say this, despite the fact that I was Instru mental In drawing It tip nineteen years ago. Tho people of today are clamor ing for new restrictions and a higher license, and these should be given them. . ’ ‘Granting a license to a saloon Is not like licensing a mercantile and' other perfectly legitimate businesses. The constitution says tho city shall license mercantile and grocery establishments, and may license saloons. In other words, the liquor license Usclf is a privilege. "I ant not. arguing prohibition. With the higher llcenso and the proposed ro. strlctlons, fewer police will he necessa ry, nnd there will he better control. I say tills, too, the adoption of the higher license and these restrictions Is the solution of the problem, and Is the only way to keep off a prohibition election. "I commend Mr. Body for his state ment In regard to the position The Georgian tnltds." Henry 8. Johnson, of the f'hnmber- Iln-Johnson-DuRoso Company, ex pressed similar convictions. “To save me," stated Mr. Johnson. "I enn't see how Mayor Wqodwnrd figured It out. His veto of the high license ordinance was most unfortunate, and I certainly hope council will override the veto. Tho Georgian Is right In the stand It takes. 1 fully agree with Mr. Seely's statement.” George Muse, of Ills George Muse Clothing Company, wns also seen. ■'Council, by nil moans, should over ride tho mayor's veto,” he said, "and you can’t make this statement too em phatic ana decisive. It's the plain duly of every councilman to see that-the ordinance goes through, regardldks of his veto, with or without his approval."
