BIG BOND ISSUE IS
 VOTED BY ATLANTA

Atlanta, February 15.-(Special.) )-With over 14O0 votes to spare Atlanta today passed her &, ,0o0,ooo bond issue for needed city Improvements. When the curtain rolled up on the ballot battle there were 10,564 voters registered and 7o46 needed to carry By virtue of a complete tele- phonic system, which reached over 5000 votes, by using autos dnd carriages for well as well as sick people and by keer- ing on the hustle every moment of the day, the bond supporters rolled up a to- tai vote for the issue of S474, with only 61 votes against. The money is to be used in erecting a new city hospital, in build ing a crematory, in improving public school system, m bringing the water works department up to da te and in nialN- ing the city strictly sanitary. Mayor Maddox and Walter McElreath, chair man of the bond campaign committee, both issued cards tonight expressing their qualification at the result of the fight.
 Not even heated campaign Tor the mayoralty could have aroused Atlantans any more thoroughly than has this bond issue election.
 Meeting after meeting has been held this week in the various wards in all of which bond clubs have been organized; women's organizations, patriotic and oth- erwise nave met on bonds and resolved to get their husbands to the polls to vote for the issue, If they had to push them there The campaign culminated last night In q monster mass meeting held in the aditorinm where speakers told of the necet slty for the bonds, and stere- opticon views showed the why and where fore of them.
 The public mind has been thoroughly iinbued with the idea that Atlanta is 'in a bed fix" unless this bond issue goes through and the result shows the amount of work dol
 The newspapers have been full of it. In fact have had little else for the last week or ten days in news columns. editorial and cartoon: it has been shown unless certain features of the proposed work be done through the bond issue the courts will compel it under the general well fare clause which would mean increased taxation. That was probably the leading argument with those who did not look at the matter from broader and more patriotic standpoint.
