County Is Ready to Start Paving,
but Must Wait on Slow
Municipal Gangs,

So many complaints about the slow
progress of the work on Ivy Street
have come to The Georgian that an
investigation has been made
Nearly 400 feet of the retaining
wall. averaging eight feet, proved to
be faulty constructed and was torn
down and is being rebuilt at cost of
several thousand dollars.
After six months on the work on
this street the city CONSTRUCTION de-
partment still is laying a sewer on
the south end.
Shelby Smith, chairman Of the
County Commissioners, made this
statement:
County Ready to Pave.
THE county has agreed to repaye
that street We would have com
pleted the work long ago if the city
and the public utility corporations
had turned it over to us. We are
ready to begin the work at once if
they will get out of our way"
Since the work of regarding Ivy
Street was begun last January the
residents of the street have been
almost totally deprived Of its use.
They have been confronted with the
same slow progress that marked the
Peachtree Street regarding, the Ma
rietta Street repaving, and various
other municipal improvements.
One cause of delay on Ivy Street
was obvious-the crumbling Of about
400 feet of wall on the east side of
the street between Harris and Peach
tree Streets Assistant Chief of Con-
struction w. s. Hansel said of it:
1T is my opinion that the giving
away of this wall was due to trying
to be too economical. We did not go
deem enough with our foundations"
Car Question in Dispute.
The fill of hundreds of wagOnlOads
of dirt has had to be dug out that the
wall might be rebuilt. Property own
ers on the street declare they can see
no excuse for such an error.
A dispute has arisen over whether
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany shall relay the trolley car tracks
on this street. Some of the property
owners desire that 1t be made a
boulevard for light cOnVeyanCcs only.
But North Side residents have regis
tered a forceful protest against the
change They declare il win send
the Piedmont Avenue and Pine Street
cars down through the negro section
of the city, and this they do not want
This question is hanging fire in the
hands of a special committee Of Coun-
ell
The residents Of the street declare
that they have to suffer enough in
convenience with efficient methods OF
construction and they are bitter
against any needless delays. Prop
erty owners paid into the City Treas
ury 100000 to help defray the cost Of
the work. The county did the re-
