OF Commerce made public today calls
upon the citizens of Atlanta TO revolt

Denounces Neglect
Of City Officials.

Let US remember that-we are build
ing not only for today. but for tomor-
row, and that what is sufficient today
will be wholly inadequate a few years
hence. The public works department is
the one which is suffering most and
needs the most attention.
Mr.. Ansley scathingly denounces the
alleged neglect of the city government
in such cases as the coagulation basin,
the fallen Jackson street bridge, the
inadequate school houses and the
Spring street grade.

Great Reforms Needed.

State statistics show, the report says,
that counties in which the local tax
system exists maintain the most eff
cient schools. The local tax system is
the system used in the majority of
states and sin the states that have the
best schools
Mr.. Britain urges less rigid restric-
tons be placed about the matter of Ger
tifcation of teachers, particularly as it
may concern high school and super
yising teachers. The state. he believes,
should generally recognize licenses and
certificates from other states coming up
to the approved standard. He insists
upon a codif1cation of all school laws.
In discussing the matter of compul-
sorry education, Mr. Britain maintains
that other and greater school reforms
are needed in Georgia before its schools
will be in condition to permit of the
passage of a rigid compulsory educa
ton law. No state. he says, with con-
ditions similar to those found in Geor
gia has been successful with a compul-
sorry law.

LOCAL TAX FOR
SCHOOLS URGED
Legislature Asked for Measure
Which viii Bring Reforms in
Educational System.

That the state legislature should rec
ognize the necessity of placing the
common schools on basis of local
taxation, so that teachers salaries can
be paid promptly, is one of the most
important recommendation made to
the lawmakers by School Superin-
tendent NJ. L. Britain in his annual re-
port.
Georgia's chief difficulty, so the SUI
perintendent maintains. has been its
inability to pay teachers promptly
difficulty due largely to the dependence
OF the common schools upon the state
treasury. No more than twenty coun
ties in the state levy a local tax for
the maintenance of schools, and some
counties draw more money from the
state for schools alone than is paid in
general taxes

Ar arrangements have been practically com pleted for this work The plans for the work became known today through the work of the Ladies of Charity, who have arranged to hold a sacred concert at Polls theatre, Sunday evening.
 When finally completed the hospital is to have a wing to the north as large as the wing extending in a southerly direction from the main structure. The two new wards are to be located on the present south other floor is to be added to this DOT tion of the building. The wards will be devoted to maternity eases, and to small children

Rep. w. w. Bent Tells Sey- mour Business Men How Legislation May Be Expe- dited.

Two Bridgeporters were guests of honor and speakers at the banquet of the Seymour Business Mems Associ9- tion, last night. Rep. w. w. Bent spoke on 'The Connecticut State Leg islature'' and s. F. Vincent discussed Compulsory Civil Service Reform
 Among other speakers were J. H. Hale, a member of the Public Utilities Commission.
 MT. Bent said that one. of the draw backs to the work of the General As sGmbly is the enormous amount of private bills that are considered. MT. Bent thought the work of legislation would be expedited if the General Assembly should confine itself to the discussion and enactment of General Laws.
 Speaking of the dime devoted by the General Assembly to a discussion of the private financial affairs of cities, MT. Bent said: ''The charters of cities should be amended so that the determination of bond issues will be left to the vote of the locality de- string the issue.'
