are mighty heavy for a youngster. If

Tbs cause?
Heavy traffic.
Atracted by the nice, smooth surface,
the abeence of lolta as when going
over beiglsn blocks and tbs pleasant
surroundings, drivers of ponderous wa

It's a good thing, and dray and atone
An Investigation Thursday afternoon
when the traffic was light showed that
from 2:10 until 1 o'clock no laaa than
twenty-eight heavy truck*, dray*-and
wagons, most of them heavily loaded,
passed out over the new pavement or
returned over It.
That la St an hour, nearly 1 a minute,
or about too during a day. It's up to
the civil engineers lo figure nut the
tons pressure per square Inch this

a time, too, when traffic la not at Ita

Georgian saw several city officials Fri
day morning, none of whom he had
previously heard express their convic

unanimous In favoring the proposition
of Atlanta having a boulevard. All

ment on Peachtree.
Thin i* what City Attorney Mayson
said about the legality of the resolution
Introduced by Councilman Hannan:
City Attornay Mayson.
"The courts will hold that lt*a per
fectly legal for a city to pasa legisla
tion—reasonable legislation—to protect
certain kinds of pavement from hard
use. when other streets, with different
pavement, better suited for rough wear,
could be used as well."
Councilman Hsrmsn, the author of
the ordinance, had this to say relatlvo
to the matter:
**The city of Atlanta should have one
street to be used exclusively for light
vehicles. It wouldn't be close legisla
tion. • Kvery clasa of clttsens .would
profit by It. Kvery Atlantan owns nn
equal interest In the thoroughfare-
"Every young man with a horse end
buggy, no matter what street he lived
on. would have one street where he
could drive with perfect safety, ease
and comfort, without having to en
counter heavy lumbering wagons,
Kvery cJllacn could point to such a
street' with pride.
Must Maks 8tart.
TVc must have boulevards. We must
make a start. Peachtree, Is our best
street, therefore beat suitable for the
start. The tax-payers have been as
sessed already three times for paving
Peachtree In the past fifteen years.
Let's protect this new* a?j>halt pave
ment. It's too expensive to be ullow*ed
for use by heavy traffle.
"The grade of the street makes It a
public highway, and every wagon com
ing In on the north side takes ad
vantage of this. Coming In from the
available. Op the south. Peters.
Whitehall. Pryor and Central avenue
may be used. On the east, Forsyth.
Decatur and Edgewood avenue are
available. But on the north only
Peachtree Is used.
"We should have Peachtree street
made a boulevard."
Alderman Hlrsch. chairman of the
atreets committee, to which the resolu
tion has been referred, said this:
"1 uin heartily In favor of the propo
sition. The people of AtlantA should
have one street v. here one 'can drive
with peace and pleasure, without being
Interfered with by every kind of wagon.
Peachtree should be mude a boulevard."
Mayor Favors It.
Mayor Joyner had this to say:
"I am In favor of Atlanta having a
boulevard. We must take on metropol
itan ways. I haven't considered thor
oughly the proposition to make Peacir-
treeStreet n boulevard, but J see noth

Despite the activity of police and de
fective!. not the slightest trace has yet
been discovered of the $10,000 worth
of diamonds and Jewels stolen Tuesday
morning by a daring porch-climber
from the residence of Stephen A. Ryan,
727 Peachtree street.
The only clew to the burglar, as stat-
. cii m Tli^ Oedrgiaji TlJurstltu’.-ls the
| Impression made by his hands in the
I dust on the window sill of Mrs. Ryan's
bed room, on the second floor, showing
that he has a deformed thumb,
i From a dose examination of tho
' Anger and hand prints the deduction
I has been made that the burglar was
• undoubtedly a white ntan, small of
) stature aqd weighing probably 135
' pounds. In order to reach the second
story the burglar had to climb a col
umn. and, before gaining the window,
climb over the cornice, which projects
fully three feet from the column.
The fact that he successfully per
formed this feat without attracting at
tention hns led to the furthnr deduction
thnt he ts a young man and an athlete.
This conclusion Is strengthened by the
Tact of the deformed thumb, which, it
Is suggested by those at work on the
robbery, probably resulted from on
Injury In some athletic game hr con
test.
The prints In the dust show that the
tntpresslon was made by a small hand
with rather sltm fingers 8m l* sn Im
pression, It Is believed, would not have
Iteeh made bv a black hand.
From these pHrts and The tnrtftfft All
the column made by the burglar's feet,
the deduction Is made that he Is a
lightweight and that lie will weigh not
more than 135 pounds.
Mr. Ryan Is of the opinion thnt no
attempt will be made by ths clever
burglar to dlsjtose of his booty In At
lanta. He believes the Jewels will be
held for some time, probably Inonth*.
and then taken to some distant point
to be sold or pawned. If the various
Jewels uro broken up and sold or
pawned In small bits identification will
be dlrtlcult.
All thlefs of police throughout th®
country have been notified of th® big
robbery and furnished with a complst®
description of th® stolen gems, and It
may be that some tangible clew will be
unearthed within a short tlnje.
