The members of the general council
seem to ha %'s corns to the conclusion
that tills Is the best policy to pursue,
and the favorable report of the
ynittee on streets of the resolution of
Councilman llorii/ati will, in all proba
bility, he adopted.
There are many reasons why ths city
council favors the reNolution. The
great need of a boulevard In Atlanta,
together with the fact that. Peachtree
Street In so admirably suited for that
purpose,-la one—The.-fact—that three
times within the past fifteen yearn
the' people lui%'e Tmd to pay for th®
paving of Peachtree hecuuse heavy
traffic was permitted on It Is another.
The great pride which the people of
Atlanta feel In their most fashionable
thoroughfare is another.
Council Is Thinking.
Council realises thnt there ought to
he one street In the city which can he
given over it» the |»eoplc for driving and
walking, without the constunt fear of
cllllslons ami the like.
. Council realizes that the people of
Atlanta will not pay for the (Hiving of
Peachtree street again In a few years,
because the proper steps are not taken
to keep all the heavy traffic off of It.
Council realises that the street is ul*
ways too congested with heavy low*
boring wagons, thus making 'the thor
oughfare that should l*e the pride of
every Atlantan »>n»* that people out
driving have to avoid to Insure the
safety of their persons
Alderman Qtillliun, one of the most
conservative of the ihpimIhth of count'd.
In recognition of whose merlin the gen
eral council unanimously elected him
mayor pro tern., voices the sentiments
... pnfliTcqlWgucnT^ Y*:
out to a representative of The Georgian
Saturday morning.
Mayor Pro Tern. Talks.
“The suggestion to keep heavy traf
fic off Peachtree street I consider an
"I am n«»t In favor of class legisla
tion «*f any kind, hut Peachtree street %»
one that every Atlantan should feel a
pride In. and %ve should keep it In that
condition which will warrant our pride.
Put this Is not my primary reason for
favoring the suggestion.
"The street Is too congested. We
should pass legislation to rellei’e this
congestion uml make the beautiful
thoroughfare passable In safety for
shoppers and for light vehicles. Then,
too, we should protect the asphalt
pavement, which is not ns suitable for
heavy traffic ns the ladgian block on
larailel streets.
"The legislation should make Peach
tree street n suitable boulevard, for we
certainly need one, but ul the same
time the resolution should he (n such
shape as not to work a hardship on
anybody."
Mr. Collar's Views.
II. L Collier, mmmlsslqper of public
works, speaks along the eame line.
"The street Is too congceted. There
Is no'douht about this, nnd It should be
protected from such heavy traffic.
Every heavy wagon goes along there
Just because IP* Peachtree, when the
other streets running north and south
would be even more convenient.
"If steps are not taken to protect the
pavement, the city will be paying $l,»xu>
annually for repairs on It In mi in
credibly short time. Then It will be
only the course of a few years before It
will t*e necessary to lay new pave

I would prefer wide pl.irxas. large

It was useless to any the troops had not

regular troops shot militiamen, for
which he said there had never been any

Referring to the president's refer

for tin* crime, he exclaimed:
"What would be more calculated to
