"Drs J. c. Spann and j. S. Hugh
son consented to give land to widen
Church and Republican streets if the
city would build wire fences On the
Church street side Of their property.
Both offers were accepted Extract
from Minutes of City Council
We do not know what others
think, but in our opinion City Coun-
Gil bas gone just little too far in
their zeal for street improvements,
and by agreeing TO erect wire fences
for Drs Spsnn and Hughson has
established precedent that will be
most unfortunate and burdensome.
ALL other property owners on Church
street, with one exception. have
given the three feet needed to make
the sidewalks of proper width, the city
agreeisg only to remove and replace
the fencing We see no reason Why
the city should do more for two
property owners than for the fifteen
or more others who have given as
much or more land for psblic use
If the city erects wire fenc-
ing for two property own
ers, why not do as much for
others? It is too late for the other
property owners Oh Church Street to
kick and demand that the city erect
ornamental fences for them, but when
it is proposed to widen some other
street this precedent will block the
plan, unless the city ls prepared to
assume the burden Of building wire
or such other fencing as the property
owners may see fit to demand.

LOTS OF CARDS.

"People would be surprised to know
how many packs Of playing cards are
used annually in this country" said the
representative of large card rnanufac-
turing house yesterday. During the
past year more than 10000, 900 packs were
sold in the United States alone. These
were made in thirty-five factories, four
teen of which are located In New York
London is also a great card manufacture
ing center, and the rivalry between it and
New York Is very. close. 1t is estimated
that 100000 packs are produced In the
English capital annually, and New York
is a close second with 3.S50,000 packs
American cards are acknowledged to be
the handsomest in the world and the
manufacturers here were the first to in
troduce the round cornered style. Great
improvements are made in the cards Of
this country year by year, while those
produced in the larger cities of Europe
appear to be about the same as those
manufactured at the beginning OF the
last century. Atlanta Constitution

NOT A NATIONAL BANK.

One of those thoughtful women who
present $40 bill on street car for their
scent fare received a lesson the other
day which she is not apt to forget. She
handed the bill to the conductor with an
air Of innocent unconcern, which was just
a little too pronounced to be natural.
The conductor a young fellow unlike
most Of his kind, made no protest. The
woman looked relieved in spite of herself,
as he accepted the money and moved to
the rear platform of the car to make
change.
]. was fully ten minutes later before
the young man strobe into the car, hold
ing both hands before him, so as to form
cup.
Here you are, madame" he announced
In a loud voice which attracted the at
tention of the other passengers Here's
the change for that $40 bill I'd advise
right"
Saying this he opened his hands and
poured a stream of dimes, nickels and
cents into the woman's lap.
ooh, ohr' gasped the woman, as she
gathered up her dress to prevent the
coins falling on the floor. ''Why, this
is dreadful 1 can't get this money in
my purse. Haven't you any larger change
than this?"
..No, ma'am" responded the conductor
promptly That's the best 1 can do"
but 1 thought you could give me bills,
protested the woman

tor, "but you had no right to think so.

owing to an inadequate appropriation for

inspection of the building will also look
over the facilities provi1sd to furnish

about five blocks above Superior street
it was necessary for the city to build a
supplementary pumping station to force
up the water. This has also just been
completed.
In the afternoon the board will hold a
