ATLANTA MAKING
ITS own GASOLINE
INVENTIVE GENIUS IN THAT CITY
FINDS A WAY TO SAVE
MUCH MONEY.

Atlanta, Aug, 16.-priying automO-
biles with gas derived as bi-product
of sewage publication is the interest
ing scheme invented by j. J. Mulhol-
land, superintendent of the Atlanta
municipal garage, a Scotchman, a
graduate of the University of Glas-
gov, and veteran of the Boer war
Several months ago young chem
list in charge of the operation of the
sewage publication plans discovered
that there was large bi-product GO
ing to waste in the shape of gas. He
perfected a device to capture the gas
and store it, and the plants are now
lighted and the homes of the superin-
tendent and his helpers lighted and
heated, and the cooking done with
the valuable product.
Now comes Mulholland, the canny
Scot, always keeping his eye skinned
for economy, and perfects tank for
storing the gas in automobiles, and
he is confident that he will be able
to drive all the city's cars with it,
thereby saving gasoline bill of
something like $500 a month
He claims that the tank will hold
enough gas to drive "fliyver" 400
miles, and other cars in proportion.

WHAT THE STATE
sOL0Ns HAVE DONE
BRIEF RESUME OF LEGISLATION
ENACTED BY LEGISLATURE
JUST CLOSED.

Atlanta, Aug. 16.-The Georgia leg
islature has established the Torrens
land title system in Georgia. has writ
ten the county unit system into law.
has created two new counties and
provided for exemption of college en-
dowments, at the 1917 session which
closed last night
The Torrens land title system
Is not the system outright as used
In other states, but is a modification
OF the system especially adapted to
the needs of Georgia. The bill was
drawn by commission appointed by
the legislature several years ago, of
which Judge Arthur G. Powell, for
merly of the state supreme court,
was chairman. The bill has been
urged by business men, bankers, loan
companies and many others. 1t marks
very progressive step in Georgia.
which has most antiquated system
| OF land title registration.
The county unit system, long a
mooted issue in Georgia politics, is
written into law by the Neill pri-
mary bill. Heretofore the democratic
party in Georgia has held it's primar-
les under the rules adopted by the
party. The neilf bill requires all par
ties to hold their primaries accord
ing to the county unit system.
Both Of the above bills first passed
the house and then the senate, and
another important house bill which
mas taken the same course is that
by Representative Wright of Floyd
county enlarging the powers of supe-
rlor court judges to close disorderly
houses by injunction. This is a war
measure intended to facilitate the
cleaning up of Georgia cities where
army training camps are located.
Among the other important bills
which passed both house and senate,
and will soon be ready for the gov
errors signature, were the following:
Bill to submit to the voters of the
state. for their approval or dfsappro-
val, a constitutional amendment au-
thorizing the legislature to EXEMPT
| college endowments from taxation.
Bill permitting the operation of
freight trains on Sunday during the
war.
Bill creating a State Council of
Defense.
Bill amending the charter of the
| Georgia School of Technology so as
to permit the sale of lands bequeath-
ed to the school by the late Julius
L.. Brown and so as to create the Do
sltion of travelling agent for the
school for eX-Gov. Harris, who will
be paid a salary and travelling ex-
penses
Bill requiring tax collectors to col
lect per cent interest on taxes I'M
paid on Dec. 20, and requiring them
to settle in full with the state within
four months after this date
Bill increasing the salary of the
state geologist from $1,000 to $500
| per annum and the salaries of his as
sistants from $500 to $4,000 per an
! mum; and constitutional amendment
increasing superior court judges to
$4,000 annually and judges of the
| court of appeals and supreme court
to $4,000 annually.
