meat, purchased from tins 10 time, from
the various owners, the lots of land in
Derby ward ing south of Gwinnett street,

these lands were Mrs. Mary NJ. Marshall,
George S. Owens, Thomas e. Lloyd and
the estate Of Michael Prendergast aqd one or
I 40 others. The transfers ranged over
period Of more than three years.
In most of these cases the city
gave in exchange other lands
owned by the corporation, although in a
few instances the transfers were made for
cash consideration. But by whatever means
the city may have acquired title, the land
was all dedicated to the use of the military
for parade ground upon the
Identical terms and conditions attached TO
the original grant Of the nineteen acres west
Of Whitaker street.
"Undsr these facts, continued Mr.. Beck
EFT, 1T Is evident that the parade ground
does not belong TO the city, nor is it subject
in any way to the control OF the mayor and
aldermen. They have no right to plant
tree or shrub there On. or permit its use TO
base ball clubs or bicycles or open a street
without the consent of the military. but as
such consent under the terms n the grant,
would involve rNffeiture Of the land TO the

the fact that the military has already given
notice Of its objection to the scheme, il
may be put down that it will not be carried

THE TICKET BROKER BILL.
The Hearing Before the Committee
Shows Up It's Beckers.

me Hearing Before the CCmmltte9
Shows Up It's Backers.
The prediction Of the MORNING NEWS a
few weeks ago that the Goodwin bill to
break up the ticket brokerage business in
Georgia would not become a law was borne
out day before yes erday by the unanimous
adverse report Of the railroad committee
! The measure, it was claimed, was
drawn to benefit railroad cor-
| porations at the expense Of the
| travelling public 1t aroused opposition
| from all quarters OF the state, aud the
Ticket Brokers' Association was represented
! before the Committee by counsel from Sa-
vannah, Atlanta and Macon.
It was developed in the hearing that the
! Piedmont exposition was lending helping
hand to the railroads in the attempt to run
| the brokers out
! Mr. Goodwin SAYS he introduced the bill
! because the railroads would not promise to
give reduced rates TO visitors to the expo
Sltlon unless some law was enacted to pre-
vent the brokers or cut rate ticket agents
from handling tickets sold to excursionists
The Piedmont exposition counsel strongly
urged the committee to make a favorable
report upon the bill, not only in the inter-
est of the Piedmont company, but for the
benefit of the future Of the state. He urged
that If the broker was not allowed in the
field railroads would be more apt to issue
excursion tickets to those who desire them.
In speeches and by proof the brokers'
counsel showed that the railroads could not
and did uot object u their traffic in tickets,
but on the contrary railroad liues placed
tickets with these brokers at reduced prices,
thus enabling the broker to undersell the
main ticket agent They argued, further,
that this was bluff" put up by the Rich
mond Terminal Company, as the bill Is an
exact copy of one they had enacted in North
Carolina, where they got the Richmond
Terminal charter from, and read five
advertisements to show these roads
are giving half-rate tickets and round trip
tickets to Texas, the "Eldorado of the ticket
broker" They attempted to pass this bill
two years ago. declaring they would not
give reduced rates, but when the legislature
did not pass the bill they gave lower rates
than they gave the year preceding.
Unless Mr. Goodwin moves to disagree to
the report of the committee the action dis
poses Of the bill.

MORE SIDEWALK SIGNS.
The Yellow Coffee Stencil Brought
Thinge to q ocus.

The Yellow Coffee Stencil Brought
Things to a Focus.
Alderman Bailey's ordinance prohibiting
the defacing of sidewalks and pavements
with advertisements will undoubtedly be
passed at the next meeting of the city
council.
1t is measure which meets the approval
of the citizens, who have been for quite a
while vigorously kicking against the grow
ing practice Of daubing sidewalks with stem
Gil advertisements Of various wares The
MORNING NEWS some time ago called the
attention of the authorities to the matter.
but no relief was forthcoming until an
agent came along with coffee advertising
stencil and daubed the sidewalks not only
in the business portion Of the city out in
the residence portion as well with yellow
sign of his brand.
The thing was so unsightly that the
kicking became more vigorous. and Alder
man Bailey offered an ordinance to put
stop to such work in the future. 1t IS not
thought there will be any opposition tine
