Fight Has Been Won,
Declares Chambers

Councilman Aldine Chambers, one OF
the leaders in the movement to better
Atlanta's street Improvement system
declared today that The Georgian
campaign for better streets had been
won
Il anticipate no trouble in getting the
measures. unanimously adopted by
council and approved by Mayor Winn,
passed by the legislature Then, with
Abe mayor the chief of construction,
fhe-streets committee and Others Inter
ested. we should take up the details of
the causes for the trouble and construct
a new and more efficient system he
said.
From my observations of conditions
in other cities. have realized that our
permanent pavements have not proved
as substantial as theirs. We haven't as
many paved streets as other similar
progressive cities Atlanta stands
ahead in many things, but there Is no
use denying the fact that we are behind
in streets
Hard to Place Blame.
THE fault is not all With the con-
struction department Until we have
thoroughly gone into our investigation
I would not undertake to place the
blame specifically anywhere, But with
the progressive legislation agreed upon
by the council Saturday enacted into
laws and with the authority to make
other changes that might prove neces-
sary. we will have paved the way for
real street improvements
with the present dissatisfaction with
the system, ! believe It would be i'm
possible TO vote bonds for street inn
provements. But the council seems to
have the will to make the needed cor
rections. When they show the people
that the proper adjustments have been
made the time viii be ripe for bond
issue-and the people will vote bonds.
with a S2,000,000 bond issue, the
work the county commissioners VIII
agree TO do and the citys regular force
and appropriations. we can pave prac-
tically every street in Atlanta With a
lasting pavement The city forces win
then be able to keep them in good re-
pair
Clayton lnspects Work.
when we start on our work Of re-
vision we will go thoroughly into the
condition OF sewers in the city too"
Councilman Claude c. Mason. the
official who took the first formal action
in the campaign by introducing a reso-
luton in the council providing that tho
chief OF construction department be
separated into a construction depar, .
ment and an engineering department
said today that the campaign had un
doubtably resulted in beginning a bet
ter system in the construction depart :
ment and would mean far better
streets.
Il still want the head or heads of the
construction department elected by the
people," ne said. II am not unalterably
committed 10 my plan, but | realized
that something must be done, and
wanted 10 get 1t started The council
has taken up the matter with a real
grip and good results are sure TO fol-

mountains, began a thorough inspec :

DEATH
To SLOW L|FE"
Youth Kills Himself When He
Hasn't Money to keep Up
the Pace"

II do this because l had rather be
dead than to slow down on the way
have been living" is what w. n Cot
ter, 2s years old, bookkeeper. wrote in
a farewell note at an early hour today,
just before he fired a pistol ball into
his mouth Cotter was found dead on
the floor Of his room at 17S Spring
street several hours later by a negro
maid. He had removed his coat and
collar and tie and had rolled AN his
shirt sleeves before firing the fatal
shot.
Fast living, debt and loss of position
are believed to have prompted the sui
eide.
Cotter's home was in LaGrange,
where his parents live. The family is
said to be wealthy and prominent. 1t
was reported today that Cotter Inherit
ed $4,000 two months ago from a rich
aunt in New Orleans but this could not
be verified.
Asks Mother to Forgive.
In note to his mother, Cotter wrote.
Dear Mother-I know you will
be hurt very much when YOU learn
that l have gone by my own hand.
But you don't know the trouble l
am in; so please forgive me.
He also gave an itenized list of
debts, including items in two discount
companies. and asked that these be
paid with his life Insurance. This. he
explained, amounts TO $2,50O, on a pol
icy in the Union Central Life Insurance
Company.
Cotter gave no definite motive for
his deed further than the declaration
that he preferred the grave rather than
to apply the brakes to his mode of liv-
ing, He prefaced this explanation by
stating that after thinking over the
whole proposition | have decided to put
an end to my life"
Cotter was unmarried and was a
young fellow Of hne physique and
pleasant address. He had been in At
lanta for some time, and for the past
six weeks had been rooming in the
home OF NJ D. Cartwright, 17S Spring
street. He was formerly bookkeeper
for the United States Telephone Com
pany. but about month ago accepted
position with newly organized con
ton oil company,
Loses His Position.
Things moved smoothly in the new
lob until the first of last week. when
Cotter disappeared. He was missing
for four days, and when he returned
found he had lost his place. Since that
4 time he had been without a position,
He seemed much depressed by his ac-
cumulating debts and the realization
that he was unable TO hold his former
pace without money. He couldn't
stand the idea, il seems. of slowing
down" and finally in desperation, blew
out his brains.
Cotter is supposed to have shot him
self about / o'clock in the morning.
