INTERURBAN AND SMALL TOWN QUESTION

Although it has no justification in
fact, the assertion has been frequently
heard in the past that interurban
railways build up large cities at the
expense of small cities and rural
territory.
In statement is still made occa-
sionally but evidence is all the time
accumulating to discredit 1t A few
years ago when it was proposed to
build an electric railway from Nash
vile to Franklin, Tenn, there were
many residents in the latter town
who did not look upon the project
with enthusiasm. In a recent issue
of the Gallatin, Tenn, News, an in
teresting review of the situation was
presented in letter, written by the
Sc cretary of the Franklin Commercial
Club, which reads in part; ''For three
years succeeding the completion of
the interurban, Franklin merchants
have done larger business than in
any other three years in the history
of the town, each year showing an in.
crease over the preceding year.
While this has been the case in all
other towns over the country due to
general prosperity, Franklin has
gone right along enjoying an increased
business from year to year. Real
estate values have advanced steadily
as also rents, and they are still going
up.
There is not vacant residence or
business house in Franklin and
while this has been true for number
of years, still it is also true that
large number of houses have been
built ia these years and yet the de-
mand for homes has not been supplied.
Business houses that now rent for
$500 rented few years ago for 5000
and the residence property has ad-
vanced in the same proportion
To take the interurben from US now
would set us back at least ten years.
Those knockers who predicted tn
grass would grow in the streets OF
Franklin when the interurban was
built have been sore'y disappointed.
The damages which interurbans
do to the small towns exist merely in
the imaginations of timorous folk.

SUBPOENA DENIED
BY MRS. RAJ TER.
Wife of Hose Agent Says He Is
Not DOdging Service in
Investigation.

Mrs. ]. J. Rafter. 80 Dargan place,
wife Of the local manager of the Fabric
Fire Hose Company, to-day denied that
her husband had been served with
subpoena to appear before the council!
investigating committee on the fire de-
partment probe or that he had vanished
to avoid testifying. The only service
that mas been made on Mr.. Rafter, she
declared, was more than two weeks
ago, when he appeared at the first
hearing Of the committee
Statements made by City Marshal
Fuller that he made personal service on
Mr. Rafter at his nome last Sunday at
a. m. are untrue" Mrs. Rafter said.
The facts are these: Al 1915 o'clock
on Sunday morning March 16, Mr..
Fuller came to our home. Mr. Demp-
sey, who also lives here, opened the
door ! told Mr. Fuller my husband
was not here. and ne entered the house.
Mr.. Rafter was at home at the time,
though | said he wasn't but he didn't
want to be served with the subpoena be-
cause Of three important business en-
gagements he had outside Atlanta.
After / told Mr.. Fuller my husband
was not at home. he tried to serve the
subpoena on me, and ! wouldn't accept
it. He then placed the papers on a
mantel in the living room and left the
house. Mr. Ratter was in the city all
day Monday and Tuesday. Why didn't
Mr.. Fuller serve him with the papers
then? Mr.. Rafter and myself were at
the Piedmont Hotel for more than half
an hour after O'Clock Tuesday night,
March is, and on that same night he
left 10 fulfill his business engagements.
He has never been in Cairo, III. The
last time | heard from Mr.. Rafter, on
last Monday, he was in Miami. Fla. He
may be home within two days or he
may not come in until next Monday or
Tuesday.
MY husband has nothing to tell the
investigating committee, and he has
not the time to aid any one in Atlanta
in the settlement Of their petty fac
tional disputes. He appeared before the
committee when he was subpenaed two
weeks ago and no papers have ever
been served on him since"
