Advantages Of a City
Court as Proposed
1t operates with "a to 80 jurors.

1t operates With ~ to 81 jurors.
1t is alwaysopen for the disposition
of criminal business, thereby in a
great many instances, saving the coun-
ty from having to pay board for pris-
oners at approximately $1.00 per day,
for from one to three months.
1t operates without a grand jury
1T WILL DO AWAY WITH
TWO GRAND JURIES.
1t will take from the superior court
ALL MISDEMEANOR Gases, there
by reducing the grand jury work to
FELONY cases ONLY. and the re-
cords show that there are not over
TWENTY FIVE felonies committed
in the county in A YEAR, and the
grand jury can do all its work in two
terms-in not over SIX DAYS dur
ing the YEAR, thereby SAVING the
taxpayers large sum of money, to-
wit: Approximately $500.
1t provides that EVERY TERM
shall be TRIAL TERM; in other
words, all uncontested cases, or cases
where no written request for jury trial
IS made, are disposed of at the first
term.
1t provides that there shall be COL
lected as part of the cost in civil cas-
es a jury fee of 5000, thereby making
LlTlGANTS PAY part of the cost
OF litigation, instead of the tax PAYERS
standing it all.
1t provides that ALL SURPLUS
arising from said court shall be paid
into the SCHOOL FUND.
Under a city court man arrested
tor misdemeanor and desiring to
plead guilty on the accusation CAN
BE TRIED WITHIN AN HOUR
after he is arrested, fined or sentenced
thereby saving the county iai1 fees
and board bill.
The Disadvantages and Cost of the
Superior Court.
1t requires not less than Sc Jurors.
During Criminal week it REQUIRES
~ to 100 JURORS in attendance up-
on the court, and under the present
system the court must maintain this
many jurors although practically all
q the business are misdemeanors.
MS costs, at the present way the
court. is operated, from $3.50 to $500
per day totry man for stealing a
chicken, or carrying a pistol, besides
the tact that he has probably been
in jail tor month or two at the ex-
pense OF the tax payers.
The GRAND JURY, under the
present system. COSTS the county
approximately $2,5O0.00 per year. By
CRYING the city court jurisdiction of
m1sdemeanors, and abolishing two
terms OF the grand jury, it will RE-
DUCE this expense alone by TWO
THIRDS.
From the figures in the County
Commissioners office, from july 1st.
1919 and to June 31st, 1920, it cost, to
operate the Superior Court FIFTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS - COSTING
the taxpayers from $4,000 to $225.O0
a case to try misdemeanor cases.
THE CITY COURT CAN BE
MADE TO PRACTICALLY SUS-
TAIN ITSELF.

HIGH COST on RAILRoADTNG
From Railroad Age.

The public knows thai the price OF
almost all the things it buys have adj
vanced greatly within recent years.
1t apparently does not realize that the
prices of most of the things that enter
into the cost OF living OF the railways
have increased much more in proper
ton than the prices of commodities
in general, but this is fact, and it is
the principal reasons why such large
advances in rates are necessary. The
public knows pretty we'll how much
the railroad payroll has been increas-
ed. Here are few illustrations of typ
ical increases in the prices of things
that railroads have to buy.
"A locomotive which in 1914 cost
$27,876 will now cost $72,750, an in
crease of III per cent. In 1914 a rail-
way had to pay only about per cent
interest on the money it invested in a
locomotive while now it must pay
I IL per cent. Therefore, its interest
charges on locomotive bought six
years ago were ST 1874 a year, while on
a locomotive bought now they will be
about S., 681 a year, an increas in fix
bed charges of $40 per cent.
T. An average box car bought in 1914
Cost about $4,000, while now it would
coust $500, an increase of 200 per
cent: The interest on the investment
IN the car in 1914 would have been
about $50 a year while now it would
be about $3.50 a year, an increase of
$50 per cent.
The foregoing statistics illustrate the
advances which have occurred in the
prices OF equipment and in the inter
est that must be paid on the invest
ment in it. The increases in the cost
OF constructing track and bridges have
not been so great but they have been
very large.
In 1915 90 foot through girder
bridge could be bought and installed
not including masonry, or $6,472. 1t
would now cost $15,117 an increase
of l35 per cent

CHICKEN THIEF USES
CHICKEN FOR WEAPON

Atlanta.-W Whether chicken is a
deadly weapon or not will come up for
consideration in the trial of Henry
Langford, coal black negro arrested
by the police after hard struggle.
The police were armed with their
billies, while Langford had nothing
to fight with but a betty rooster he
had Just pulled off perch.
Taking the fowl by the legs, how
ever, he brought it down with tell
ing effect over the cops eye and near
ly floored the other with a second
blow, when the we'll directed lick
from the billy decided to give up
the struggle.
Langford was a powerful negro and
if he had had any weapon besides the
chicken it is quite likely that some
body's life-blood would have been
shed.
