CITY STREETS
Captain Clayton Stresses Need
and Alderman Kelley Will Take
Fight to Committees.

Recognizing the need Of a new
street numbering plan for Atlanta, as
urged editorially by The Georgian
Chief OF Construction r. NJ. Clayton
said Tuesday It was matter the
Council Finance Committee should
take up and provide money for
Our present street numbering sys>
tenn is like a Chinese puzzle" he said.
Some years ago ! urged the adoption
OF the centenary plan, 100 numbers to
the block. but Council did not see fiji
to provide the money to enable us to
adopt il.
Strangers Lost in Atlanta.
The need for a modern numbering
plan OF that sort is far greater now.
You give man unfamiliar with At
lanta an address and he can't tell
whether it is five blocks or twenty
blocks away. People have ignored
the old system OF a number for every
% feet Of frontage until you'll find on
some streets such homogeneous com
binations as one house numbered 125
and the one next to 1t AIS.
With the centenary plan blocks
will be designated by hundreds and
the houses in them numbered between
those hundreds. Then when a man
starts anywhere he will know where
he is going"
Captain Clayton said the city could
put in this new system for $4,000,
without expense to the citizens.
Postms ster Discusses Situation.
Postmaster Boiling Jones has writ
ten letter to the Mayor and Council
setting forth the difficulties his men
have in delivering the mails on ac-
count of the mixed-up numbering
system. He urges that some remedy
be provided.
1t also causes the greatest incon
venience to the retail merchants and
persons who have goods to send out.
Alderman c. Fl. Kelley, chairman Of
the Council Streets Committee and a
member of the Finance Committee,
said he agreed that the matter should
be attended to at once and that he
expected to take 1t up with his com
mittee.

WASHINGTON. Jan. ia plea for

and reducing prisons has been sub

Blue, Chief of the Bureau of Naviga-

Unnecessary, said Admiral Blue. "a

average cost of a prisoner is from $3.50

DEMOCRATIC DETERIORATION

The address OF the Hon. William A.
Prendergsst Comptroller OF the City
Of New York. before the Indiana State
Republican convention. yesterday az
ternoon. was a remarkable recital OF
the achievements Of the Republican
party. In which he showed by distinct
citations Of accomplishments its pro-
gressive character and IT'S mindful
ness OF the best interests of the peo-
pie OF the country. Among the nota-
BILE achievements OF the administra-
tons Of Presidents Roosevelt and Taft
he mentioned the improvements Sc
cured In our consular service. Men
who came into the foreign service un-
der Cleveland were retained during
successive Republican administration
because they were trained and expert
enced. and thus a competent school of
diplomatic service was developed.
Much OF this excellent work has
been undone by replacing these ex-
perienced ministers by men OF no
training. and no known capacity.
While President Wilson is charged
with these changes. Secretary Bryan
Is morally responsible for them. Mr..
Prendergast quotes the editor Of the
North American Review. a warm
friend. but an honest critic OF the
Presidents. in support of his renec-
tons. as follows:
The average experience Of the for
mer Ministers to these south and Cent
raj American republics was hfteen and
one-third years. and their average age
AT the time OF their expulsion was forty
seven. All spoke the language OF the
countries TO which they were accredited.
