City Planners Make
Plea to New Council

Among the first recommendations for
1918 Improvements to be presented to
the new city council came from the
Atlanta planning commission and called
for a total appropriation of $4,000
The planning commission asked the
city to set aside $4,000 to be included
in the 1913 appOrtionment sheet. This
fund, according to the petition submit
ted to the city solons last night, is to
employ an expert to prepare plan of
improvement for Atlanta, with view
to anticipating its growth,
The other request of the planners
urged the widening of Peachtree street
from Harris street to the intersection
of Forsyth and Pryor streets. The out
lay called for by this petition was
$4,000.
The commissioners asserted that the
widening of Peachtree over this dis
lance could be accomplished with an
outlay of $4,000 at the outside. and
property owners who would benefit by
the improvement stood willing to put
up $4,000 of the cost.
Residents of West Peachtree and
property owners from Buckhead to
East Point interested in the cross
town thoroughfare project sent council
a mammoth petition bearing more than
1000 names requesting a regrade of
West Peachtree and a new pavement.
The petitioners told council that a
new grade for West Peachtree and a
smooth pavement would solve the ques-
ton of congestion in Peachtree street
All three petitions were referred to
the finance and street committees

MACON, GA, Jan Mayor Jack
Danielly. of Roberta, Crawford ciunty, has
adopted a unique method of punishment

spend the night there. He requires each
one of the men under this sentence to
ring a sonorous farm bell for five min
utes after arriving at the Jail and for FIVE
minutes again before departing for work

ffteen-d day sentences in this manner for
having been continually drunk upon the
streets of Roberta They declare that
they are not going to take another drink.

at the present city charter and made
important recommendations and inter

our present charter, while contain

piece Of patchwork without definite sys-

of multitudnous amendments that have
found expression in legislation enacted

Indignantly,
"Of course, it must be apparent" she
said that women of property have

The compliment was intended to APP

also made plain that the allies stand

Charges OF trickery were made
against the Ottoman delegates. who
were accused OF hoodwinking the allies

While the Turks maintain an ada

official personages. In this quarter the
belief persisted that Turkey would not
dare to stand out against the concerted
demands of three of the greatest pow
ers in Europe and that after further
delays the porte would signify its will
