COURT HITS
EXPRESS COMPANIES
$50 LIABILITY CLAUSE

The trick of express companies in
lodging a liability of more than $50 for
the loss of articles upon which tn
valuation is not placed by the shipper
was pronounced against the public pol
icy of the state by the supreme court
today
In ruling upon the case of ]. c. MellI-
champ an Atlanta jewelr against the
Adams Express Company. certified to
the tribunal from the court of appeals,
the court said:
I'VE hold that the plaintiff can re-
cover in the proper form of action, and
that his recovery should not be limited
to $50, but should be the actual value
of the goods lost"
Mellichamp had expressed diamond
ring valued at $500, which was lost in
transit. In suit for recovery, the ex-
press company set up the defense that
as Mellichamp had failed to fix a value
on the shipment the company was liza
BILE for only $50 under the provisions of
its printed contract.

FIGHT IN COUNCIL
ON IVY St. WORK
Widening of PeaChtree Also Is
Opposed by AIdermen-SeC-
tionaIiSm Seen in Move.

Several members of the council let 1t
be known today that they would make
vigorous fights against the Peachtree
and Ivy street improvements Their
contention is that too much money is
being spent on the north side
Mayor VIM said today that he would
veto any resolution providing for the
regarding and repaving of Ivy street
unless provisions were made for adj
justments of the side streets and the
property owners gave the city longer
than next year to repay them the
money they have offered to advance to
finance the improvement The plan for
the Ivy street improvement to be rec
commended to council by the streets
committee does not provide for the ad-
iustment of the intersecting streets to
the new grade,
Alderman James r. Warren declared
that he favored bringing Ivy street to
level grade, but he draws the line on
paying property damages so that
Peachtree street can be widened its en-
tire length. Councilman Orville Hall
is opposed TO both projects. Council
man J. ]. Greer supported the Peach
tree street plan when it was favorably
acted upon by the finance committee,
but he declared today that he intended
to do all he could to prevent the Ivy
street work at this time.
Mayor VIM has announced that he
would veto any more appropriations by
this years council from next years
revenue.
Streets Committee Favorable.
The property owners have agreed %
advance $4,000 to do the Ivy street
work, giving the city the use of the
money without interest and allowing it
the privilege OF repaying 1t at any time
1t sees fit. The county commissioners
have agreed to do a great part of the
work Councils streets committee ia
vors the plan,
Albert Howell has let the contract for
a $500 900 building at the corner Of
Peachtree street and Ponce DeLeon
avenue If this building is erected it
will be almost impossible to widen
Peachtree street at that point He Of
fers to change his plans and donate
ten-foot strip for $4,000. Carl Witt
wants $500 damages to his property
at the corner of Peachtree and Harris
streets The finance committee will
recommend that these obligations be
assumed, but that no definite promise
that they will be paid next year be
made.
With the details Of the plans thus
worked out strong efforts are being
made to get Mayor VIM not to exer-
else his veto power.
The determined fight that has sud
denly developed in council, however
presents a new condition. These i'm
provements mean an enhancement of
millions of dollars in property values
They were conceived and brought to
definite form by the citizens and not by
the city officials. Every one agrees
that they would be for the good Of the
whole city A number of members of
council are determined that they shall
not fail Sectionalism is the only OBJ
stacle.
