What can be done to give Atlanta
relief in the matter Of broader and
better graded streets and more paw
ing where it is badly needed?
Now that West Peachtree regard.
ing is under way, people are suggest
ing that it would be as well to widen
the thoroughfare now, rather than be
faced with more intricate problems in
the hereafter. The widening of
Peachtree is also wanted, before big
buildings are built flush with the
sidewalk, and widening will cost ten
times as much few years hence.
A well-known realty dealer de-
clared the other day that he favored
a $20,000000 issue of bonds, to be
paid by posterity when there is more
money than there is now. This. he
said, would make Atlanta ship shape
and a place really worth living in.
Another dealer favored bonds, but he
was not so ambitious in the amount.
He asked for 100000, with which
he said the city could at least pave
its streets.
This street question is a vexing
one" he declared. 1.-The same ma
terial is called for in Western Heights
that is laid on Whitehall, the differ
ence being that Whitehall gets as
phalt and Western Heights nothing
but promises. Council intends to do
its duty by the outlying districts, but
the day never comes. Then why not
make temporary improvements at
onetenth the cost rather than no i'm
provements at all?
"Cinders and gravel make a side
walk or a street paving that is fairly
good for ordinary purposes and that
Will last ten years. Maybe at the end
of the decade there will be money
enough for asphalt or macadam. and
in the meantime the citizens have had
the advantage of improvements that
have enabled them to keep out of the
mud. A man who can't afford to
build a mansion dosen't go out and
sleep in the trees He builds bunga-
low for ST. and lives in ii ten years
until he can have a more pretentious
house. The same principle should
work in city paving.
LAS for grades. all the streets now
being worked should be fixed def
nitely and finally now. Under the
present scheme, a man builds his
house on high lot and far back from
the sidewalk. His neighbor builds
on a low lot and jam-up up to the
street. These things should be regu-
lated after a definite plan, and the
city would find that it had saved
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
much trouble after few years"

MILLIONS ARE
NOW INVESTED IN
SKYSCRAPERS
Fourteen Office Buildings Worth
$4,000, O0O-First Erected in
Early Nineties and Hurt Is Last.

With the completion of the Hurt
and Healey Buildings, Atlanta has a
aEyscraper total of IA and a total
value in the higher buildings of
$6,1OO,000 and an estimated aggre-
gate value of $1O,OOO,OOO in all kinds
OF office buildings, big and little.
The Hurt Building is valued at
100000.
The Healey will be completed
about January l, at a cost of 5000, 900,
and will be finished later to cover
the entire block bounded by Forsyth,
Walton, Broad and Poplar streets.
The Fourth National cost $500, 900,
as did the Gambler Building.
The Empire Building cost half a
million, and the Equitable cost about
the same, or something less.
Cost of Bank Buildings.
The Atlanta National and the
Third National Bank Buildings cost
$45O,OOO each.
The Grant Building cost 1926, 900,
and the Austell Building s315.O 600.
The Empire Life and Forsyth
Buildings cost 100000 each.
The Peters Building cost $120, 600.
The Steiner-Emery Building cost
$4,000, the Thrower Building S65, 900,
the Atlanta Trust Building 100000
and the Rhodes Building $4,000.
The oldest Office building in Allan
ia is the Equitable Building, which
was constructed in the early nineties,
and failure was predicted for it.
Tenants soon filled it, however, and
at no time in Office building history
has there been any trouble filling
skyscrapers with tenants.
Another Skyscraper Due.
Application for permit to build
the Austell Building was made July
16, 1896. for the Empire Life Build
ing, May 5, 1897, and for the Grant
Building, October 20, 1897. The date
for the Empire Building was August
9, 1900, for the Atlanta National Bank
Building. October 80, 1901, for the
Fourth National Bank Building, Au-
gust 10, 1903, and for the Gambler
Building, August 8, 1904. The Third
National date was April s, 1910, the
Healey, October IL 1912, and the
Hurt the same day.
Intense interest centers in an
nouncement of plans for the next
Office building. There are several
sites under consideration and sew
eral parties figuring. Inasmuch as il
requires a year or more to plan a
skyscraper, a declaration of inten-
tions from some source is expected at
any time.

IN REALTY CIRCLES

pressed with the comparatively great
distance between most Of the local
skycrapers. The outside limits are
Peachtree and Houston streets (Can-
dler Building) on the north, White
hall and Alabama streets (Atlanta
National Bank Building) on the south,
Edgewood aVAnue and Exchange
place (Hurt Buildino) on the east,
and Forsyth and Walton streets (the
Healey Building) on the west.
The most genuine cluster of sky
scrapers is made up of the Empirs,
the Grant, the Healey and the Tnird
National Bank Buildings and the near
est approach to a cluster is the Hurt
and Trust Company of Georgia COM
bination.
The Gambler Building is long
block from the Empire Life Building,
two blocks from the Trust CompanJ
and Hurt Buildings. five blocks from
the Atlanta National Bank Building
three from the Third and Fourth Ma
tional, the Grant and Empire Builo-
ings, and two long blocks from the
Healey Building. The Healey Build
ing is three blocks from the group to
the east and four from the Atlanta
National Bank Building to the south.
In circumference the skyscraper
area is some twenty blocks. which
gives, roughly, two blocks for each
typical skyscraper in Atlanta. Thu
actual ground space which the ten
skyscrapers occupy. however, would
total about three or four average size
city blocks. When 1t is considered
that they could be brought closer to-
gether at great SAVING Of space ana
trouble, the situation is apparent.
A well-known developer of real es-
tate explained Saturday that the sky
scraper district occupied a wide area
because desirable corners in the CEN
ter could not be secured by people
who wanted to erect high buildings.
Substantial low structures built manv
years ago are Welding such a good
percentage on investments that own
ers won't tear them away.
When a man gets along in years
his ambition is usually to have lit
tie place in the country where he can
relax from business cares and spend
his time cultivating a garden patch
and possibly an apple orchard. The
skyscraper life is essentially for the
young man who has the strength to
weather the com mercial storms that
beset him, and the man of gray hairs
seeks to draw away into more peace
full and quiet surroundings.
Atlanta financiers who have passed
into the autumn" are still as active
as the youngest, but few of them
have failed to provide a choice spot
out in the country where they can go
when they are bent on retiring.
"Frenzied finance" has no charms like
gardening. The fascination of max
ing money is not to be compared with
the pleasure that lies in making

There is William 7. Healey, for in

Circumstance so hard as to make him
live most of his life downtown, Not
that Mr.. Healey is old Far from it!
But the fact remains that he has pro-
vided a snug place out in the coun-
try where he can go some day and
"enjoy life"
What matters 1t that he paid r. D.
Dorsey $1,000, or $50 front foot. for

Edwin P. Ansley and other leaders IN
the development of Atlanta real es-
tate.
The original land lot of 202 IL acres
in Ansley Park cost Edwin P. Ansley
100000 from the George w. Collier
estate seven years ago. Mr. Anslay
has since added a number of smaller
acreage tracts. notably that whic1
he bought from Mrs. Harriet f. Bran
don, for less than $1,000 an acre. AMI
that from Mrs. Sallie ]. Bearse, l.
acres, for $25, 375.

more putting his subdivision in shape,

banners. These are not only attrac-
tive, according to the owners, hut
they lend an air of life and patriot
ism wherever seen
The average subdivision inside the
city limits is in a peculiar position.
Although a part of the city, its pri-
vate nature tends to make council
play hands off" Take Ansley Park
for instance. In the beginning. Ansley
Park was the property of Edwin p
Ansley. and the city did little. If any
thing for It, Now it is largely the
property of individuals who pay city
taxes. and the city still does little
or nothing for It.

100000, or al the rate of $704 an
acre. and in 1919 1913 acres on the OPP
posite side of the road for $3.50, 600.
or at the rate of $3.50 an acre. The
former tract is known as Peachtree
Heights and the latter Peachtrea
Heights Park. on which he has spent
$4,000 and 100000. respectively.

Mr.. Healey is a man of ideals,
moreover, and this fact is going to
keep him some time away from the

WARM WEATHER
AFFECTS TRADE
Supplies in Hand Sufficient
for Demand-Slight Ad-
vance in Corn

The Morris avenue dealers say that
the warm and rainy weather of the past
few days is having a very bad effect
on trade. Although the demand is fair
1t is not what II should be for this
season of the year and the merchants
are inclined to be somewhat pessi =
mistic. 1t Is said that If the weather
grows colder soon business will inn
mediately take on new life and the
market generally will show strength.
Supplies in the local market are suf-
heient for the demand. Poultry prices
are slightly on the decline and the
supplies are very good. The demand
is weak. Eggs continue to maintain
the prices of 2S and 80 cents and there
seems to be no likelihood of a decline
in the near future. In this particular
line the demand is fairly good and no
complaint is registered.
The supply of fish is very good and
the demand only fair. No changes in
prices were registered yesterday and
at the present rate of demand there will
be no cahnges within the week.
+ In the grain market corn is slightly
upward in tendency. the price yester-
day going to 9S cents. The demand is
fair and the supplies adequate AL
falfa hay prices are stationary and the
dealers say that they will remain so
until the weather becomes more sea-
sonable. The demand is fair and sup
plies good.

FIRM CABLES SEND
COTTON PRICES Up
Crop Estimate of Nearly A.
000,000 Bales Is Also
Responsible

New York, December Firm cables
and a crop estimate from New Orleans
of 1S,660,000 bales. exclusive of linters,
was chiefly responsible for a strong
upward movement in the cotton mar
ket today At one time active posi-
tlons were 10 to 20 points above the
close of Saturday and there was a good
class of buying, particularly for March
contracts.
The strength of Liverpool was some
thing of surprise and indicated that
hedge selling, very often a depressing
factor there on Monday, was not pres
ent today in any volume. In this mar
ket, besides active covering, there was
considerable buying for Wall street and
wire house account, and the opening
was firm at an advance of to IA
points.
While occasional slight reactions oc-
Cured, up to the last hour, there was
no material check to the advance and
the market seemed to be getting good
support on all dips Near the close, how
ever, an unusually liberal selling move
ment, chiefly in the way of realizing,
induced partly by reports that higher
wages had been refused the operatives
at Fall River caused a sharp setback
of about dozen points from the top
and the close was steady at ts 10
points net advance.
A local firm reported 11,766,000 bales
ginned to December 1, or 1,332,000
bales for the period, and this was taken
to confirm the average of local esti-
mates tat hthe crop will be a little over
100000 bales. Reports from southern
spot markets indicated partial ad-
vances of Is and in some cases men
toned an excellent demand. There were
liberal exports again, particularly to
Japan, which has taken 141,000 bales
of American cotton since September /,
against $4,000 last season.
During the day reports of exhaustion
came w from both eastern and western
sections of the belt, which, with the
ginning figures privately issued, had a
tendency to modify ideas as to the
probable showing of the census bureau
next Monday.

QUIET SESSION IN
COTTON MARKET
Little Cotton for Sale; Tone
Steady With 8 to 10 Points
Net Gain
aIas Hi1hI IoWC =

New Orleans, December lit was a
tone was steady the day through, with
little cotton for sale. In the early
trading moderate demand served TO
keep prices at the advance. In the after
ing on the part of scalping longs and sales
from this source weighed against the
market somewhat. although at no time
were prices at a net decline
The opening was steady at an advance
of 10 to II points on good cables, unfav-
orable weather in the cotton region and
local crop estimate of 13,660,O00 bales,
not including linters. This estimate about
filled in with the ideas of the bulls and
encouraged hope in a government esti-
mate not much larger. Little large crop
talk was heard at any time and covering
by shorts was one of the features of the
morning. Toward noon the trading
months were Is to 10 points over the last
quotations of Saturday. This was the
high of the day. In the afternoon the
market was dull and prices gradually
sank, closing at a net gain for the day
or to 10 points. The tone of the close
was steady.
The disposition to sell in the afternoon
was increased by rumors that private bu-
reaus were coming out with rather liberal
returns on ginning up to December /.
While these reports were not confirmed,
they helped check the upward trend of
prices.

FINISH APPROACHES
TO CULLMAN' VIADUCTS

Cullman, December 1.-(Special)
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company has just about completed the
construction of sidewalks leading from
their overhead bridges across their
track at Second and Third streets, and
within the next day or so the work
completing a system of walks and
street crossings leading from the main
sidewalks to these bridges will have
been completed
1t is said that at the last meeting
of the city council. that, went on
record as favoring an ordinance for
these walks to be placed at all rail-
road crossings from the Louisville and
Nashville station, in North Cullman
to Ninth street, and no doubt the rail-
road company will be called upon to
place such improvements for the con-
venience of the public.
