Men and boys rushed to the scene
and the streets became iammed. When
Zuber was finally subdued and was be-

The comptroller general recently au-
thOrized the printing of 200 copies Of
the insurance act from amended copies

Widen Peachtree,
Mrs. Peel Urges

Peachtree street does not
look like a city street, but
rather like that of a Struggling
village. Trade has invaded
this sacred avenue, and in al
most every square shops are
found. In five years com
merce viii hold sway almost
without exception as far as
Fourteenth street. The street
should by all means be widen
ed while there is vet time, for
traffic may be diverted to some
other part if the property own
ers stand in the way. Let no
one take offenSe at my re-
marks on Peachtree street. I
have lived on it for forty
years, and | yield to none in
love for it, but | want to see
it fixed right. and that means
sacrifice all along the line.
But what if it does, so long as
we make a splendid and beau
tiful ethyl MRS. w. L.
