CONDITIONS IMPROVED.

Health Inspector David Lynch to- day said that householders about the city were showing marked desire to keep yards and garbage pails in bet ter order. Complaints to the num- Der of were issued on July 6. Re inspection on the 18th showed that all except had compliedd. This is said to be an unusual percentage, especial ly as the vicinity in which these re- ports were made is one of the worst in the city.
 When asked as to the character of milk omplaints and the number en- tered at the Health office, it was said that little trouble was now being ex- perienced in that respect. Inspectors are constantly upon the outlook for ViolatOrs and residents themselves when believing that milk was aduI- -erated made direct complaint These were not as frequent as earlier in the spring and upon examination most of the complaints were found to be groundIess.

 But an observant policeman inter fered It was only when the woman made a particular movement that tho infant squealed, and investigation showed that string which the woman worked with her foot was tied to it The apparent cruelty resulted in the vvoman's arrest.

The conservat tism of the law as it is practiced in Philadelphia received an illustration recently in the loud sum- mons by the clerk of the court to Will liam Penn, Richard Penn and John Penn to appear in court in order that a certain title to land of which they were the original grantors could be cleared of an encumbrance.
 No one suggested to his honor, the president judge of common pleas No. 4, that William Penn had been dead 200 years, and his sons Richard and John nearly as long There was no need of such a suggestion. Every one

Interest in Mr.. Grants Plans.

Much interest centered Thursday In
the announcement that John w. Grant
will build on PAGES Ferry Road, a
short distance west of BuCkhead and
a few rods east of such property own
ers as Robert F. Maddox. James L.
Dickey, Jr., NJ. G. Kiser, J. n. Cod
dard Morris Brandon and others. Mr..
Grants handsome town house on the
east side of Peachtree between Pine
and Currier Streets has been crowded
and he will soon build a fine country
residence. He has extensive acreage
and will lend his efforts toward max
ing handsome country estate SINH
lar to the others in the vicinity. w.
r. Downing, the well-known archi-
tect, is drawing some plans for Mr.
Grant and expects to have them out
soon.
n this connection it was announced
that a new roadway is to be cut
through from Peachtree to a point
fronting Mr.. Grants place. This will
be known as Andrews Drive, being d
continuation OF the thoroughfare that
now starts west Of Colonel Walter r.
Andrews estate and joins Habersham
Road in PeaChtree Heights Park.
Property owners will defray the ex-
pense of the road work The plan
has been laid before the County Com
missiOners and has their approval.
PAGES Ferry Road has attractions
for still other residents. 1t is being
talked that John D. Little will build
close TO the Grant place. He bought
two years ago a large lot at the
southeast corner of Habersham Road
for about $4,000 and has since re-
fused handsome profits and will fix no
price to sell it.

With the expiration of leases on
offices in certain skyscrapers this fall
new rates will prevail. This is made
necessary, declare the office building
men, by the increased cost scale in
other lines essential to the skyscraper
business. Recently the manager of
leading office building gave notice of
an Increase to the New York home
office of a local branch. The manager
replied by letter that ordinarily his
concern was opposed to paying more
rent this year, but that he would not
contest the raise in Atlanta. This
was taken by the skyscraper man to
indicate that this firm enjoyed good
measure of prosperity in this section.
All tenants in office buildings need
not be alarmed, however. Not all the
buildings will raise rents, and where
an increase is contemplated il con-
Germs the lease which is about up, and
not the one that has some time to
run.

Rent Going Up.

Some details of considerable inter-
est to building managers and tenants
were given out Thursday in regard to
the lease on the Silvey Building and
plans for improving the same.
The Silvey Building Company leased
the nine story basement building from
the John Silvey estate for 20 years
agreeing to pay $4,000 a year for the
first three years and $4,000 a year
for the remaining II years. This
years of $22S.OOO, or an average of
81, 400 a year. The Silvey Building
Company expects TO suitcase to va
rious firms and individuals, several
leases already having been made. The
return under the sub lease arrange
ment will be about $4,000 a year, the
basement and ground floor netting
$4,000, and the solid floors above
$4,000 each.
improvements now being put in will
cost the company $67. 900. These con-
sist of a thorough renovation and the
installation of two elevators and ma
hOgany Similar to that used in the
Third National Bank Building. The
structure will be fireproof, and a fe2-
ture of the improvements will be the
placing of windows in the wall that
faces Peachtree. This wall was built
20 years ago under party arrange
ment between the late George w. Col
lier and the late John Silvey.
The construction work is in charge
of w e. Mashburn, who expects TO
have the upper stories ready October
l. Part of the work is done, and the
