city pays $40 a day and it is prob
able that the plan will be tried
In the matter of installing two light
standards in front of the State bank,
Phil Mitchell stated that he would take
the proposition up with his directors,
although he admitted that he was OPP
posed to the present system of street
lighting and said he would give $500

ards from the walks.
Baseball Team.
Plans for a baseball team for the
block were brought out by Carl Rein
hart, who said the Islanders or the
w. c. L. team would be willing to
officially represent the association, but
would not drop the name Islanders.
However, they agreed to have placed
on their shirts white square five
inches in size. with the figures 1000.
The sentiment of the meeting seemed
opposed to any other name but 1000,

CHANGES
IN VITAL
ITEMS
Peachtree Street Widening Fund
Slashed $4,000, and $4,000
Taken From Spring Street.

Council S caucus demands for
changes in the budget were made
public Monday when Councilman
Claude G. Mason and Orville HI.
Hall, acting as a committee rep
resenting the caucus, presented
them to Mayor Woodward and
Chairman w. g. Humphrey, of
the Finance Committee, which
prepared the budget.
The amendments slash the budget
in many points. taking the So 900 pro-
vided for the beginning OF The Spring
improvement. reducing the item, of
$4,000 for widening the bottle neck
on Peachtree to 10000. halving the
$4,000 appropriation for the widen
ing of South Pryor street and re-
ducing other funds sufficient to make
up a fund of 10000
Committee Against Change.
This amount. by the caucus pro-
gram, is parcelled out for small inn
provements in each of the ten wards
in the city.
Mayor Woodward said he hoped
the budget would be adopted. but it
was up to Council to amend it as it
saw fit. Chairman Humphrey told
the committee he would present their
amendments to the Finance Commit
tee at special meeting just before
the converting OF Council Monday af-
ternoon; but at the same time he gave
a statement to the press declaring
that he would insist on the adoption
OF the budget as it stands and that
he believed the other members Of
the Finance Committee would do
likewise
The caucus committee was very
diplomatic making a simple request
that the amendments be adopted. Ii
is well understood, however, that il
the Finance Committee refuses to
adopt the amendments they will make
an open fight against the budget an
the floor OF Council
Deadlock Foreseen.
The insurgents assert they have 4
safe majority in the Aldermanio
Board and good fighting strength in
Council, and that the budget can nos
be passed unless the amendments ars
recorded.
II the Finance Committee and its
outside support stand pat. a deadlock
is inevitable.
This condition could not last long
however for when the pay rolls of
policemen, flremen, school teachers
and the others are held up there will
be so much pressure from the people
that someone will have to yield.
Here are the new appropriations
provided by the caucus program:

Backing his words with certified

Of the Rex saloon, Monday defied
Chief of Police Beavers and Chief OF

Jones in a letter to the editor of The

To the Editor of The Georgian
| regret having to ask you for
space in which to make state
ment regarding the publication
relative to me made while l was
in Charleston last week.
Scores Two Chiefs.
AT the outset / wish to say that
any statement that | am, or have
been, connected in any way with
gaming in Atlanta for the past
seven wears is absolutely untrue.
Through my efforts at times TO
help nv friends, in and out of pol
tics, | have brought upon my
self the enmity of two men con-
nected with Atlantas police de-
partment In no instance have
protited by any political move
ment in Atlanta. but instead nave
reaped the hatred of these men
To be plain. these men are Chlei
Beavers and Detective Lanford.
The fact that they had to wait
until | was out of the city to try
to make it appear that | was
gaming is proof that they knew
that there was nothing against
me. Beavers ard Lanford would
crawl on ice from Atlanta to New
York for the privilege of tndlng
some evidence to show l was
breaking the law. ;
They have tried TO make II APP
pear that ] was wiring informa-
ton here Immediately after the
races IN Charleston, so bookmak-
ers could fleece the public. TO any
man who has the slightest under
standing of racing this is known
to be impossible. But many of my
friends and patrons do not know
this. and it is for their beneht
am writing this. But. to go a step
farther than a denial from me,

My customers are among the
