JONES APPROVES
REMEMBERING
STREETS

Postmaster Jones Saturday" heartily
indorsed the campaign for a sys-
tematic street numbering plan eor
Atlanta. He said he would like the
privilege of going before a Council
committee to tell just how badly the
postoffice is handicapped in deliver
ing mails.
I'VE not only have no street num-
boring plan that could be called a
system, but we have many streets of
the same name in different sections
OF the city" he said. Letters are
constantly coming back on account of
having been sent to the wrong an
dress, and the mail carriers are need
lessly delayed trying to find ad-
dresses
Il reside at what they told me at
the City Hall was 900 Peachtres
street. The house next beyond m ne
is numbered 905
Calls 1t Ridiculous.
ut is ridiculous that an enterpris-
ing city like Atlanta should be so
poorly numbered"
Coupons from residents agreeing to
pay the cost of the numbers IL the
Council will provide a systematic
plan are coming to The Georgian rap
idly. Seldom has a movement met
with such general support.
Councilman Claude G. Mason, of the
Tenth Ward, who has taken up the
fight in the Council to obtain an APP
preparation to lay out the city on 4
modern plan, said he was receiving
much encouragement from his coll
leagues.
Those residing in the outlying see
lions, where there is practically no
numbering system at all, are especial
~ interested in this movement.

'COlored News Sent
Out by Reform Foes,
Says Chief Beavers

Branding the stories sent out OF At
lanta by news agencies regarding local
conditions as "absurdly ridiculous, 4"
Chief Beavers Saturday morning de-
clared an organized effort is being made
by foes of reform to circulate the i'm
preston that Atlanta is a hotbed of
wickedness.
There is no doubt" said the Chief,
that some news agency is sending out
stories viciousy colored and inimical
to the best interests of Atlanta. These
stories picture wild orgies, and depict
the city as the most wicked place on
earth, with a police department that
spends it's time on trivial cases and let's
the welfare of the city go to the dogs
The Chief would not say whether he
intends TO investigate with d view to
possible prosecution of those he says
are sending out what ne terms "colored
news"
