PUBLIC COMFORT
STATION BOOSTED
Leading Citizens IndOrse Move
ment and Suggest Plans for
Its COnsummation.

The movement for a public COM
fort station in Atlanta has received
impetus in the few days since it was
launched, through Endorsement by
leading citizens
The plan most favored is to place
the station at some central point and
equip it with blootblack stands. news
stands, writing desks, telephones and
similar conveniences, having suffi-
cient attendants to maintain it in a
sanitary manner. 1t is proposed to
have it under the supervision of the
police department.
L. c. Green, a member of the Cham
Der of Commerce, suggested Friday
that the station be constructed south
of the Peters Building, beneath the
steps leading down to Wall Street,
or that the Pryor Street underpass
be used by closing the pass midway
and using the north end for women
and the south end for men, remodel
ing the underpass to meet the pur-
pose.
The money for this plan very
easily could be raised by the City
Council" said Mr.. Green, but if the
city did not desire to engage in the
project, I believe there are plenty of
enterprising men with money who
would build such a place and lease it
from ten to twenty years to some re-
liable man who could have a soda
fount, cigar stand, news stand. boot
black stand and other conveniences."

WANT
HIGHLAND PAVED.
Ask Improvements From Fort
Street to Bridge Over the
Belt Line.

Petitions are being circulated by
property owners in Highland Avenue
for the repaving of the thorough
fare from Fort Street to the bridge
over the belt line of the Southern
Railway.
This portion of Highland Avenue
was paved with Belgian blocks about
20 years ago.
IF anyone can spend a night in
Highland Avenue from Fort Street
to the bridge without being awaken
ed dozen times they are deaf"
said a resident. The sewer depart
ment has torn up the paving several
times and replaced 1t. The water
works department has torn up the
paving and replaced il many times
The gas company has torn it up in
Vulnerable times. The telephone
company has also took a turn at
tearing up the paving. until II is as
uneven and rough as the hide of a
politician and as noisy as a Fourth
of July orator. Why, even the street
cars have become infected with the
noise microbe-especially those in the
early morning. A drum corps in full
operation would be soothing in its
quietness to Highland Avenue at al
most any hour of the day.
And this leads me to remark that
it is only a question of short time
until a vladuct will be built over
the Butler Street dip, making the
ending of Highland Avenue at Pied
mont and Harris Streets This is
another improvement which will be
taken up just as soon as the street
is repaved with a smooth paving
The Importance of Highland Avenue
is greater than that of almost any
other street on the North Side next
to Peaohtree. and 1t will be good
business to repave the street and
build the viaduct across darktown."

The contest between Mr.. Wise and

an even 20 years in Congress at the
expiration of his present term.
Judge Bartlett has made no formal
statement of his intention to retire,
however, as Congressman Hardwick

that Mr.. Wise may receive the Office
