For the benefit of those interested, either as employer or
employee, in the operation of the workmen's compensation law
passed by the last session of the Tennessee legislature, attention
should be called to the following facts:
That every employer shall be presumed to have accepted
the provisions of the act unless he shall give notice to the con-
trary at least 30 days prior to the time the law goes into effect
1t is effective July |.
Firms that do not wish to come under the operation of the
law must post such notice in the shop or place of business, and
duplicate copies must be filed with the bureau of workshop and
factory inspection of the state at Nashville.
Every employe is likewise presumed to come under the
operation of the law unless notice is given to the contrary.
Employees who do not wish to be bound by the law must
give written notice to the employer of election not to be bound
and must file a duplicate of the notice with the department at
Nashville, together with an affidavit from the employee that the
action in rejecting the provisions Of the act was not counseled,
advised or encouraged by the employer or anyone acting for
The employer.
Any employer or employee who has excepted himself from
the operation of the act may elect to come under it by giving
notice 80 days prior to any accident resulting in death or injury
Those exempted from the operation OF the law are: Common
carriers doing an interstate business, in other words, the rail
roads; casual employees, such as domestic servants and employ
es; coal mine operators and employees, unless they elect to
accept the terms of the law; farm and agricultural laborers and
their employers; places where less than ten persons are
employed, unless they desire to accept its provisions; the state
of Tennessee and the counties and municipalities.
In order that there may be no confusion as to the law,
employers and employees should communicate with l.. l.. Allen,
chief inspector, if they desire further information. 1t is a far
reaching act and affects thousands of persons.

CITY PLANNING

A meritorous provision contained in the councll-manager
bill, defeated by the legislature, provided for the appointment OF
a city planning commission with the duty Of looking to the
future OF the city and making recommendations Tor regular and
orderly development. '
There is no reason why such a commission would not serve
a useful purpose under the present form Of government.
Many new subdivisions are being developed, and tor the
most part they are laid out and arranged without any great
consideration for future convenience or a~daptabnity to the
present arrangement. Anyone who will take into account the
remarkably few through thoroughfares that extend from the
river to the east will be impressed with the necessity Tor COM
peuing new subdivisions to consider the intersectng streets.
Belvedere boulevard is an example, 1t IS one OF the desir-
able residence streets, but it completely cuts oil Vlnton, Carr,
Vance and several other avenues.
Union avenue is becoming congested with automobile trai-
fc because it is the only open thoroughfare, unobstructed and
well paved, in the city. .
Union avenue, from Marshall avenue to Main street, should
be developed for the relief of congestion on Monroe avenue,
and for the further idea of making it such a thoroughfare as its
location and convenience suggest,
Front street, when river traffic was at its height, and drays
in large numbers congested it, was paved with cobblestones.
more advantageous places for handling freight direct to the
railroads.
Front street should be as we'll paved as Main street. It
would afford a splendid drive, with the construction Of one or
two bridges, from North to South Memphis. The river view
from Front street would be superb.
A city planning commission, with these few Of the innnm-
cradle other things that might be done, would be a tremendous
asset ior the city. 1t would be a splendid thing if the Chamber
Of Commerce could use its influence for the establishment of
such a commission.
