stamps of 8 cents a gallon on beer. 20
cents gallon on wine and 60 cents a

The money derived from the stamp
tax is to go to the state treasury.
The vote on the bill gave good evil
dence of the prohibition sentiment of
the senate. With four senators absent

The bill was advanced on prohibition
lines and it was only after the senate
had assured itself that it was pro-

SIS, 1000 Increase Mostly
In Salaries of Chiefs.

Yet the city comptroler's records
show that the administrative cost Of
the construction and engineering de-
partment has increased practically S15.-
O00 since the two departments were
consolidated The increase is pract-
caIy all in salaries Of engineers and
bosses.
In 1910 the cost was: Engineering,
S1S,S40.64; commissioner of public works
$10,2S2.75.
In 1911, when the departments were
consolidated, the cost was s4S, 629.S9.
In 1912 the cost was $42, 790.
All engineers for bond work are paid
out Of the bond issue money The fig
ures show that the increase WAS due
to the consolidation. for there was no
increase this year although more work
was outlined

Council Committee Meets To-
day to Garry Out Reforms in
Construction Department.
MANY TH0ROUGHFARES
RUINED BY ENGINEERS
Commissioners Not to Lay Any
Asphalt Until the Sewer and
Water Pipes Are In.

The Georgian's campaign for better
streets reached results this afternoon
when the charter amendment commit
tee of council met at o'clock to take
UP formally the reforms agreed upon
al the recent caucus of council. The
plan is to reorganize the chief of con-
struction's department into a construc-
ton department and an engineering de-
partment and to provide that no more
temporary pavements shall be put
down
Councilman Harvey Hatcher is lead
ing small minority against any
change in the construction department.
Because the city construction de-
partment mutilated Howell Mill road
just after it had been paved by the
county construction department, it was
declared today the county commissions
ers would pave no more streets in the
city unless all sewer and water con-
nections had been made on them.
For years. newly paved streets have
been cut up by the city in laying water
and sewer pipes Commissioner Shell
by Smith said today that II must stop,
and that hereafter the superintendent
of construction of the county and the
city superintendent would hold month
ly conferences over proposed work to
prevent any more streets being ruined
ruthlessly
The commissioners have gone, fur
Their and decided on a rule requiring
cash collateral or a bond that any street
dug UP by company or an individual
shall be put back in its original condi-
ton
Each day of The Georgian's cam
paign for better streets arouses city
officials more and more to a realization
that drastic reforms are demanded.

Police Directly
Charged With Crime.

District Attorney Whitman early to-
day made the direct charge that the
police System" was connected with
the murder Of Rosenthal because Of
revelations which the gambler had
made concerning protection tribute. Mr.
Whitman said that if Rosenthal had
lived six hours longer the district at
torney's office today probably would
be in possession of absolute proof that
money was paid to the police in various
amounts for protection in the con-
duct of their illegal resorts.
81 accuse the police department Of
the city. through certain members Of
it. with having murdered Herman Ros-
enthal." said Mr. Whitman. Either
directly or Indirectly it was because of
them that he was slain in cold blood
with never a chance for his life IL
was intended to be a lesson to any
one who might have thought of ex-
posing the alliance between the poles
and crime
"Rosenthal had given me valuabls
information and was on the point Of
giving me more and supplying further
confederation of what he had already
told He had sought unsuccessfully to
be allowed to talk to other city off,
cials in whose hands his complaint had
more right to be lodged than in mine.
He had never been allowed access to

portant additional evidence and to give
the names of eight or ten men who
could and would support his statement.

ually cut up for the laying of water

since the construction department

nit avenue where it was finishing the

The waterworks department has ~
list Of the paved streets, Dut applies to
The construction department for a per-
nit when 1t wants TO cut street 1t
is against the rules to allow a perma =
nently paved street to be cut without
d permit from council But these per-
mits are granted by the city fathers il
"a routine way Paved streets are con-
tinually cut all over the city and sunk
en- places are always left. 1t has given
rise to bitter criticisms against The
construction department. which has
charge Of outlining the work SO there
won't be any such conflicts.
The worst part of it is that the con-
stluction department nor any one else
in the city hall has any record of what
streets have been cut up in such a way
There seems to be no real system by
which this work is inspected to see that
the paving is put back in its original
