ment needed reorganization. He said
that Captain Clayton had some ideas
as to needed changes He requested
the committee to postpone action I'M
til Captain Clayton returned.
Alderman James R. Nutting outlined
mild reform Of the office which would
leave the system of street improve

man Warren, Councilmen Aldine Cham

want more sweeping revision
The sentiment Of the committee was
that every one had the highest regard
for Captain Clayton. but that the prog
ress Of improvements was wholly UNI
satisfactory
In caucus it was informally agreed
that the construction department
should be divided into a construction
department and an engineering depart
ment. Some Of those present said they
thought a business man should be In
charge Of the construction department
and that the construction department
should have authority over the engi-
neering department.
In the open meeting yesterday there
was a reluctance 70 take any action to
which there might be serious objection.

she said to Louis Dupin:

Constitution Joins
In Streets Crusade

The Constitution Joined in The Geor

Hay. In an editorial it said.
ATLANTA AND HER STREETS.
In the evolution Of the growth
OF Atlanta the city has reached that
stage where its policy Of building
and Of general public Improvement
must be directed toward the future
and not alone for the day.
The next imperative step IS the
Improvement Of streets Of the city.
We must establish and enforce per-
nanent building lines and perma-
nent grades. Every up-to- date city
pursues this policy and metropol-
itan Atlanta can not afford TO bring
up the tail-end of the procession.
Quick action is the main desider-
alum The longer this reform is
delayed the greater will be the
cost TO the city
Main avenues reaching the city
from every compass point should be
brought to permanent and east
ly negotiable grade Remembering
that we are building for tomorrow,
we should not be too chary Of eX-
pense The undertaking should be
worked out by experts and no time
should be lost in beginning work on
this. now the most urgent OF all
public improvements
lie -
a man in Atlanta who is not, d.
rectly or indirectly, penalized by
the present situation Business
suffers in innumerable ways--from
delay in delivery Of goods, from tax
on vehicles and live stock. from
heavy grades, poor pavements and
narrow streets Human life and
limb are at hazard in the restric-
ton Of traffic
Safe and easv transportation Is
one of the first needs of any large
city. Transportation, as applied to
streets, is not now either safe or
easy in Atlanta, nor has il been for
long time
We have piddled and frittered
away time long enough
Let US go about the solution at
once. and with determination to go
at the work on a broad basis
Action should he the keynote,
The call is to the old, achieving
Atlanta spirit" which has ever
been found responsive
