WATER and
BIC PARK ASSURED
Last Piece of Private Property on
Watershed of AtIanta's Reser-
vOir Has Been Purchased.

Purity of Atlanta's water supply
and the building of one of the most
beautiful parks in the South were
assured to-day by the purchase of
the last piece of private property on
the watershed Of the city's 400. 600, 600
gallon water reservoir. Zode Smith,
general manager of the water works,
closed deal for the last part of 450
feet Of private property on the Howell
Mill Road, the back of which borders
the big lake of city water
Health officers condemned the con-
dition of this property as threatening
to contaminate the water supply. On
it stand four dwellings, a store. ..
hog pen and several open closets;
and it drains toward the reservoir.
Plan Urged by Georgian.
The plan to purchase it, started by
Water Commissioner w. J. Davis and
exploited by The Georgian, finally has
met a successful contamination. All
the buildings will be torn down, and,
with the other property the city owns
around the pumping station, the
place made into magnificent park.
The big reservoir is the most beau~
tiful lake anywhere around Atlanta
Already a fine driveway has been
built around it and its banks have
been sodded. A beautiful smaller lake
is just across the road. The water
board will urge "a larger appropria-
ton for the park developments BY
another year Manager Smith prom
Uses a wonderful recreation ground
there, a spot that already has a fine
automobile boulevard leading to It.
One Small Tract Lacking.
The $50 feet of private property
cost the city S11,O00 1t gives the
city one complete large tract except
300 feet on the other side of the road,
which extends TO the coagulating wa
ter basins. The drainage from this
property is protected by a bank built
by the city. but the location Of the
property still makes II obvious thar
the city should purchase it, partfc-
ularly in view of the park plans.
Manager Smith said the Water Board
would request an appropriation for
its purchase when Council makes up
the June budget

CHICAGO, April "A national
market bureau which would lower the
cost of living and do away with a
waste estimated at nearly two billion

rate was also urged by speakers.

Hearst'S Sunday American:
The article by John Temple Graves,
with the superb page of illustrations
of Atlanta, appearing in all the Hearst
Sunday newspapers, will do this city
an immense amount of good.
1t is not surprising that man of
Mr.. Hearst's ability has selected At
lanta as the strategic point of the
South. This is peculiarly true of At
lanta as a publication center, for this
city pays Uncle Sam more on second
class matter than any other Southern
city pays and more than several cities
of twice the population in other paris
Of the country.
Your presentation of Atlanta's ad-
vantages and attractions in the first
issue of The Atlanta Sunday Ameri-
