ATLANTA's, ALDERMEN.
Money Received from Barrooms to Buy
School Books.


School Books.
ATLANTA, GA, March 5.-The City
Council this afternoon reelected John
Stephens as Police Commissioner and
Walter R. Brow, commissioner as success
sor of w. I. GOLDSMITH The Board will
now stand three Prohibitionists and three
Anti-ProhibItionists, counting Mayor
Cooper.
An ordinance was adopted appropriating
25 per cent, or so much as may be neces-
sary above the $4,000 otherwise appro-
priated, received from the licenses of bar
rooms 10 20 to the purchase OF school books
for the children attending the public gram
mar school This is new departure, and
goes into effect when the school reopens
this fall. After the money is
expended in school books and
other necessaries the balance of
the fund will go to maintaining, repair
ing and building a new school. The ordi-
nance was adopted by almost a unanimous
vote, Councilnen Nelson and Dayton alone
voting IN the negative. The measure will
be a sarions drawback to booksellers, as all
books viii be purchased from the publishers.
1t is estimated that for the first year of
operation $4,000 will be necessary for
books and other nece3saries, and each sue
ceeding year a less amount Will be needed
and ali left over will go to repairs and then
to new school houses. The measure is re-
garded as very adrot one for popularizing
prohibition with the poorer class S. As the
ordinance contemplates expenditure of
money the Aldermen of the board will have
TO vote on it, and there is some probability
of slight amendments.
