President Quillian, of the Bond
Commission, Says Suggestion
Has Been Made-the Structure
Would Cost About 100000.
PRESENT BUILDING
NO LONGER ADEQUATE
FOR ATLANTA'S NEEDS
Would Have Replaced 1t Long
Ago, but for Hope That Govern
ment Would Donate Old Post
Office to the City.

Out of the peHding bond issue for
municipal improvements and extensions
Atlanta will probably get a new and up
to-date city hall IN addition to sewage
disposal plants, neN schools new crema-
tories extensions u the waterworks sys-
TENS and addition slto the Grady hospital.
Prominent menntRrs Of the bond COM
mission and the general council. together
with many leading citizens, are insisting
that provision be made for a new city
hall II this provision is made, and the
indications are that it will be, the bond
issue will be for $500 GOETHE city hall
to cost a half million dollars.
President F.. A. Quillian, of the bond
commission, stated Thursday morning
that the matter hsaA been brought to his
attention and THAI. be had about con-
cluded that willie ihe city was issuing
bonds for various improvements. It would
be wise to include city hall.
ATLANTA needs a new city hall, and
needs 1t badly" said President Quillian.
Every one has long been agreed that
the old quarters at the corner of South
Pryor and Hunter streets are inadequate.
out-of-date and thoroughly at variance
with the requirements Of such a progress
sive city as Atlanta. In fact. 1t would not
be putting it mildly to state that every
one feels that the old city hall is a dis
grace to the town.
81 believe that the city would long ago
have foated bonds for a new structure.
more centrally located, had 1t not been
for the hope that with the completion of
the new federal building Atlanta would
be given the old postofice building for a
city hall This hope has become forlorn,
and there are none who seriously enter
tain the belief that the city is to secure
the old postof1ce building. This struc-
tuEe, it is said, will be used by the gov
eminent for headquarters of the depart
ment of the gulf.
while the city is issuing bonds for pub
lie improvements ii does not seem amiss
to include a sufficient sum to build city
hall. This must be done at an early day,
for Atlanta's affairs have grown to such
longer affords ample accommodations.
and many disadvantages in the conduct
of the municipal business are daily en-
cuntered. 1t seems advisable to take care
of all the crying needs in one bond issue
instead ffssuing bonds every two or
three years.
IT shall discuss this subject with the
bond commission, which will, 1 believe,
favor the proposition
The bond commission will be called to-
gether sometime next week, at which time
all of the subcommittee will be able to
submit detailed reports, the amount of
the bond issue will be determined and the
date of the election set.

JENNIE AND AMOS WE'D
DESPITE PRISON BARS
Boy Girl Find Happy End to Loves Rough Road
after Day and Night in Prison She Eudes Her Mother
Vigilance Slips Away From Home Meets Her Young Lochln-
var at Parsons House and Becomes Mrs Amos Prater

Jennie and Amos are married at last
Jennie Partain. the bonnie lassie of l6.
whose mother kept her locked in police
station whole night and day to prevent
the weddIng-and Amos Prater, her dash
ing Lochinvar of II.
Ever since last Saturday they have been
travelling as rough a road of love as ever
tried the faith of a plighted pair. When
Jennie's mother learned on that after
noon that her daughter had left home to
met her sweetheart. she hurried in pur-
suit, overlook her in the middle of Oak
land cemetery through which she was
going to the parsons house, and forced
her back home.
Then the friends of the young couple
began gathering to intercede on their be-
half But mamma was determined and
on Sunday evening she carried Jennie
to Matron Bohnefeld. There she remained
a prisoner until the following night, when
she was allowed to go to her home, 81
Tennille street. The girl was still fixed
in her will to marry, however, and prep
arations were being made to take her to
her uncle's farm, miles away from At
lanta.
But before these plans matured, Jennie
slipped away from her mothers vigilant
guard late Tuesday afternoon. met Amos
at the parsonage of Rev. ]. H. Bowden
on Powell street and in 80 minutes had be-
come Mrs. Prater. When the mother
heard of what had happened, she threw
up her hands and cried. Goodness gra-
cious!" I hen a smile frightened her
face and she said:
Well If she's married. she's married
ana that's all there is to It, I'll have to
forgive her"
And so everybody is now happy-Jennie
and Amos most of all.
