DESIGNATED
BUILDING Inspector Acts on Own
ers' Petition Under New Seq
regation Ordinance.

The first white block" was Off
cially designated under the new Ash
ley segregation ordinance Tuesday.
II is that on Houston Street between
Jackson Street and Boulevard, and
has been designated by Building In
spector Ed r. Hays. whose duty it is
to inspect petitions of property own
ers and pass them along to the chair
man of the Police Board, who in turn
has instructions issued to policemen
through Chief Beavers.
The Houston Street petition set
forth that over one half OF the front
age in the aforementioned block be-
longs to white people II was signed
by a. II. Neeson, George f. Glazener,
Allen Rice J, II Ewing, executor:
5. A. Swain, Mrs O. 5. Payne, by
Raymond Robson; Mrs. NJ. J. Van
Dyke, by Forrest and George Adair.
A. p. Harrington and August Denk.
Once declared white" or black. "
no blocks can be changed. and there
in, SAYS Mr. Hays, lies the Importance
OF determining at once the character
of blocks. All blocks, whether now
occupied by negroes. should be put on
record for future protection, since
otherwise they can be invaded. Under
the ordinance II is impossible to make
either whites or negroes move out
OF any block they now occupy, but
after they once move out, they can't
move back again.

Loss Of GEORGIA
FARM STATION
IMMINENT
State, for Alleged Breach Of Reg
uIations, May Lose $4,000
Appropriation,

Georgia is in imminent danger Of
losing its State Experiment Station.
Reliable information from Washing
ton is to the Effect that the Depart
ment Of Agriculture is concerned over
the question as TO whether the annual
appropriation of $4,000 to Georgia
should be continued.
knowledge of this situation has
been in the hands of State officials ut
the Capitol during the past few days
and it can be stated that there is
some concern at this end of the line
The rupture between the State OF
Georgia and the Office Of Experiment
Stations is an old story, which, how
ever, is just reaching a climax. When
the board Of trustees of the Expert
ment Station meets in a few days,
something is likely to b. ak, as it is
stated that a representative of the
Office Of Experiment Stations at
Washington will appear before the
board with an ultimatum.
lnefficiency Charge Expected.
II appears that the charges which
the Office of Experiment Stations
have made are to the effect that the
station has been lacking IN efficien y
and has made questionable use % the
funds appropriated by the Federal
Government.
No shortage Of accounts is alleged,
but certain regulations 3 to how the
appropriation must be used and what
must be done with the proceeds II
the experiment station farm, as pro-
vided in the Hatch md Adams acts
have been violated repeatedly and
without respect 10 warnings of the
department at Washington, according
to report.
Last summer fire destroyed build
ings at the Experiment Station, and
about $1,000 of surplus or income
from the Experiment Station was
used to replace these buildings
Considered Last Straw.
This seems to have been considered
by the department at Washington as
the last straw. All of this sum, it is
claimed, has been spent for purposes
that are contrary to the Federal law.
The United States Department of
Agriculture claims that according to
the various experiment station appro-
priation acts that the Federal Gov
eminent funds can be used only In
carrying on experimental work, the
supposition being thai she State
would furnish the Buildings and the
equipment. 1t seems that Georgia
has not Appropriated anything for
this purpose for about % years.
In view of what has transpired, II
seems that the present attitude of the
Department OF Agriculture is to in
sist uron a very lite al Interpretation
Of the laws in the future use of Fed
eral appropriations and to recommend
suspension of such appropriations If
the laws are not complieG with.
Climax Due on July 9.
The query around the Capitol
among those who have n knowledge
of the matter, is as to now Tar me
literalness of the law, as the de-
partment at Washington may inter
pref il, may apply and what legisll-
ton the situation may call for, If any.
Probably not until the board Of
trustees Of the station meets on July
will the proposition be ciead up
