Healey Building PIats Out.

Plats Of the Healey Building show
ing a typical floor, have been sent out
in the mails to prospective tenants.
There are approximately 80 offices of
various sizes to each floor above the
second, the first and second being
subject to a somewhat different ar
rangement. Three elevators are on
each side Of a wide elevator hall in
the portion OF the building which is
nearest to Broad street. The corri-
doris on each floor are nine feet wide.
| Each Office is outside.
Although many inquiries have been
made for space in the Healey Build
ing, it has not been possible until the
charts were out to show how the
structure will look, and even now it
= still impossible to pilot would-be
tenants through the building. In about
80 days, it Is thought, the elevators
will be running, and that people who
are interested can see for themselves
the exact arrangement.
Terra Gotta on the building has been
laid on three sides as high as the six
teenth story. and on the fourth side
as high as the fifteenth. Three more
days of uninterrupted work should
make it possible to complete this part
OF the job. F7utelike columns Of
terra Gotta are a feature OF the struc-
ture.

Although there are many fine homes
in Atlanta, figures taken from the

following January ! there were only
nine dwellings built costing over $40
600. These aggregated SI39,15O, an
average of s15,461 per house. Smaller
and less expensive dwellings far out
stripped this number and amount
Eight apartment houses aggregated

he bases the belief that recognition OF
Huerta is not necessary to the protection
of American life or property.
Ambassador Wilson made direct rec
ommendation for the recognition of the
Mexican government under certain con
ditions and restrictions. These would in
clude an agreement for an election, Oct
26, to choose a permanent constitutional
government; proper guarantees for the
protection of American lives and proper
ty; a satisfactory arrangement To insure
the payment of all present or future
claims for damages to Americans on
their property: the settlement of several
long standing disputes between this
country and Mexico. principally as to
boundary matters; and the selection of q
Mexican cabinet officer to control the
elections whose character would be
promise of fair dealing to the Constitu-
tionalist forces.
President Huerta had assured him.
Ambassador Wilson told the committee.
that he would not again be candidate

by Mr.. Wilson as a means of guarantees

Ambassador Wilson told the committee
he believed Intervention highly undesir@

The method by which the United stated
could enforce a guarantee for the pay-

public was discussed at length. One sug-
geston was that the Mexicanl govern

American claims should be paid.
The conference ended. shortly after

committee is not expected to formu-

Ford was caught on swinging scaf-
fold just under the eaveS of the dome
and hung there buffeted by the winds,
while the big flashes of blue lightning
tricklod around the dome, down from
the platinum lightning points in the
head of the Goddess of Freedom that
surmounts the structure. When the
storm was over he crept shaken and
bruised to safety inside the dome.
Here and there throughout the city
panic appeared. Horses, driven frant-

they were stopped by collision with

government departments disastrous
panics were narrowly averted. At the
