STREET REFORMS
SURE;BRONN To
APPROVE BILL
Sweeping Investigation of I'M
provement System to Result
From Charter Changes.

With Governor Browns approval of
Atlanta's charter amendment bill.
which was passed by both branches of
the general assembly yesterday, the
council will begin a sweeping investi-
cation Of the City's street improvement
system.
Mayor VIM and Councilman Aldine
Chambers both said today that Gov
ernor Brown had given them assur-
ance that he would approve the bill.
On account of the limited time before
the city election, a special meeting of
the council will be called to appoint an
investigating committee. The charter
amendment gives the council authority
thoroughly to reorganize the chief of
construction department and make
many other changes.
Many officials today expressed the
opinion that The Georgian's campaign
for better streets would soon show gen
uine material results. Alderman John
s. Gambler said that there was no doubt
that the real troubles with the street
Improvement system would be revealed
by the investigation and the necessary
adjustments made. A majority Of the
city fathers are agreed that drastic &C
ton must be taken.
The city council meets Monday, but
on account of the many bills Governor
Brown will have submitted to him 1t is
not expected that he will have an OPP
portuntty to approve the city bill be-
fore the middle Of next week. There
FORE special meeting of the council
will probably be called.
The bill also gives the council the
right to close the Forsyth street under
pass, provided an outlet for the stores
fronting on the railroad tracks can be
secured of which the governor will APP
prove. This will help to make Forsyth
street one of the principal thorough
fares of the city
Authority to tax locker clubs $500
each and to close them through the
revocation of permits is granted. 1t is
expected that his provision will result
in the closing of a number Of alleged
clubs by the city council

The most unnecessary noises in At

those coming from trains passing

from drays passing over Belgian blocks
These noises could be diminished by
the use of devices on engine and dray
and the absolute removal of Belgian
blocks, he said.

Across in the House.

long sigh of relief is on it's way
heavenward today, for senate bill No
IS, the pride and erstwhile pet anxiety
of Representative Ed Wohlwender, of
Muscogee, has passed the house of rep
resentatives, and now awaits the sig
nature of Governor Brown!
This is a bill to require all officials
receiving fees in Georgia to keep ac-
curate records thereof. and to submit
them to public inspection from time to
time
There was much opposition to it,
and for a while it looked as if it sure. y

Then Wohlwender, who has a voice

IF the thing, and Wohlwender changed
his thricea-week viewing with alarm

ripped that rules committee up the

said things about it that can not be
printed in any newspaper hoping to get

hardly a night that passed in which
Wohlwender did not toss and groan in
nightmare about Old IS. and the rules
committee coming out of its lair every
few minutes and sitting heavy and de-
pressing-like on Wohlwender's manly
chest.
AT last the pressure got too stout for
Bob Hardeman and his crowd, and
they resolved that the rules commit

the house, or Wohlwender would organ

not be any rules committee soon. Sc

Noiseless Atlanta city sans the eX-
cessive changing of car bells. sans the
roar of heavy traffic passing over Bel
gian blocks. sans the grinding and
screeching of locomotives-is the ideal
which certain civic reformers hope to
see take concrete shape
Not the least of these is Dr. F. Bates
Block, who says that without the noises
the average Atlanta citizens would
daily be in much better condition to
meet their moral and civic responsible
tiles
The fact that Atlanta passes daily
through a series of clamor without no.
torious disaster is proof positive to DIR.
Block that a perceptible uplift in the
average condition of the Atlanta citi-
zen could be accomplished by the abo-
lition of noises which really are unnec-
essary.
DepIetes Nervous Store.
Whether an individual is what is
commonly called nervous or not, the
incessant clangor in his ear depletes
the nervous store and makes a man &C
tually less able to carry on his daily
duties" said DR. Block
The ear is one of the most delicate
organs of the human body, but our dis
regard for its we'll being through sub
hitting to barbarous and altogether I'M
necessary noises during a larger part of
the day can not fail to bring about
lasting i'll effects. The best of nerves
have but little opportunity to main
tain their integrity under such condi-
lions, But nevertheless we go on and
on in the same way. AS may be read
lily understood, nature at last revolts
and the victim is forced to pay the
penalty by injury, often permanent to
health.
