Not a burglary has leen reported ar

present month.
This is certainly something new un-
der the sun remarked Recorder

situation. Atlanta is becoming good
wonderfully good. The routing of the
burglars by Chief Beavers and the
closing Of the tenderloin have improved
crime conditions in Atlanta far more
than the ordinary citizen realizes"
Several months ago Chief Beavers
determined 10 put stop to the whole
gale burglartes in Atlanta, and his frs.
step was TO detail 80 officers in plain
clothes to patrol the residence sec
tions
Such a thing as Atlanta passing
nearly month without a burglary has
never before been known in the his
