After conducting a thorough inves-
tigation as requested in communica-
ton from the finance committee, the
board of public works last night con-
cluded that the damage to the Office
of the McDavid-Hyer Co., caused by
the overflow of the sewer on PalafoX
street on the night OF Sept 1, was an
unavoidable accident and directed the
clerk to draw resolution to effect.
recommending to the council that the
bill Of the company be paid.
The McDavid- Hyer Company had
addressed a communication to the
council, enclosing a bill for $146.35, the
amount which it was claimed the office
had been damaged on account of the
overflow and the council had referred
the matter to the finance committee.
The finance committee then referred
the matter to the board of works for
investigation and for it to locate the
blame for the condition of the sewer.
In the course of the investigation
last night the plumbing inspector was
called upon, but after hearing his ex-
PLANTATION, it was the opinion of the
board that everything feasible had
been done to relieve the situation and
that, as stated, the accident was un-
avoidable.
M'Ghan Matter Settled.
After hearing a communication from
McGhan & Sons and also hearing the
statement of Geo. McGhan, Jr., on the
subject. the controversy between the
board and the plumbing firm was
finally settled. Mr.. McGhan explained
that 1t was the desire OF the company
to fully satisfy the board of works and

OPPORTUNITY

SuPPosin' there was within fifty yards of your
store a warehouse with half-million stock OF
seasonable shoe sellers upon which YOU could
draw at will.
Wouldn't it give you courage to wade in for
business, and don't you believe you could do the
same volume on half the stock you now carry?
This would at least save you the interest on that
much money at whatever rate money is worth
20 you.
If back Of that warehouse there was an uD-to-
date shoe factory turning out thousand pairs
day, and you could go to the factory and see for
yourself just how the shoes are made and exactly
what goes in them couldn't you sell shoes with
bigger and better feeling of confidence?
If you live in the Atlanta zone these benefits are
at your door.
Whether we are removed from YOU four hours
or forty, we are your nearest shoe factory and as
such we codially invite you to share in whatever
advantage this will give you over the dealer who
pays twice your freight rate and loses business by
DELAYED shipments.

Efficient Serpfice Requires
Sufficient Facilities 4

To meet these requirements Il 10
cssen,ialinot only that there be at Ill
times sufficient cable facilities under
one control, but that they should be
operated INTERCHANGEABLE with each
other and in close physical connec-l
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
10 provide against the very frequent
cable interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one Of the companies Of the Western
Union group has, independently fthe
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which al times any ono
company might be called upon; TO take
care Of, because Of some particular
rush Of business, or bccausc OF some
cable interruption. Nor could any ono
company furnish. nil the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities Of
these companies are ample u they
could be used supplemcntaryto each
other and intcrchangenbly. x n
4 AS It is, each company ,operatea itsi
own cables through separate and, dis
tinet Offices and under separate and
distinct management. Allinterehange
Of business is by actual transfer Of the.
business from one company 10 the
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption OF a service IN which
seconds arc valuable. X

Efficiency Increased, @
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo-Amcr-
lean and the Direct U. S. companies
will bringth eight cables Of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in position TO
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication OF the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at cost Of
many millions, when there arc more
than amplefaeilitics for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and WOULD probably postpone
the reduction oil. rates or introduction
Of new services.

The Trans Atlantic Gable
Situation and Competition

The trans Atlantic cable situation
10 as follows:
The Maekay group OF seven ca
ibles, including the German cables,
owned by or worked in physical con-
nection with the telegraph lines of
that company form one system.
The French cables comprise an in
dependent system, using both the
Western Union and the Maekay land
lines for their United States connec-
ton.
In competition with these is the
Western Union group Of cables, eight
in all, owned by three separate COM
panies, two Of which arc British
companies owning five. Of the eight
cables. ~
Two only Of the British owncd
cables terminate in the United States
and all of them ore entirely dcpcn-
dent on the Wcstcrn Union for their

Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities

Asa at presen, carried on, the trans

all fash service, j. c. instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only a few business hours Of the
day common TO both sides and during
these hours at least75E Of the cable
business is done. This Is demon
strated by. the accompanying chart.
In the interests OF international
business nothing should be done to
interfere In anyway with the So called
fash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear TO. ae-
eommodate such messages during the

countries; but to continue TO coniine
