'part of the convicts who should have been at work wiping out this menace to the health and comfort to the peo ple were employed on the Pledmont water main. i Say Committee Is Powerless. “I have a home out there, but last night the odors grew so sickening and unbearable that I set out to hunt me up another home in which te live, ut least until this work finally is com pleted by the county.” General Anderson, chairman of the committee, and Tull C. Waters, ons of the members, explained that thel committee was powerless to do any more than was being done, as the or der already was in effect to complete 'the work as rapidly as possible. Mr. Waters said that the work on the Piedmont water main was obligatory, and that only fifteen men were used for this purpose, It was suggested to members of the County Board that an Investigation into the causes of the great delays in the Bufler street sewer would be in order at the same time a probe was conducted Into the pre-eléctlon charges of graft and diserimination made by rival groups of the Countyl Commissioners. Calls Delay Significant. ‘ Alderman Thomson said that for the past five years the county had promised to complete the Butler street and Highland avenue Fewers{ in order to relieve the residents of that district, and he copsidered it rather significant that the work ghould be delayed in order to bene t private individuals. kg;'nmcilman Ashley stated that he | visTted, the section on Friday evening and despite the warmness of the at mosphere the residents were forced to kep their windows and doors closed because of the terrible stench which came from the creek. He sald that the city had appro priated $25,000 this year in order to buv the materials necessary for the work, and thought the Board should | explain why it had been idle for such a long time. Tvan Allen, chairman, chalrman of the Atlanta Convention 2 Bureau, | Charles McKinney, of Decatur, and John ¥, Murphy, of Stone Mountalin, appeared before the Public Works (Committes te ask it to reconsider its declination of the request for 50 con | viets to assist in building the “Gran | ite Highwayv” from Atlanta to Stone Mountain and through to Lithonia. Convicts Scarce Now. | They were told that the refusal of the request was largely because of tlhe scarcity of convicts, the time of l|he Criminal Court having been largely occupied for nearly a year 'with a consideration of the Frank j case and the motions which have ' come from it. Councilman Ashley lated sdid that 511{* approved of good roads and ap vreciated their benefit, but that he was surprised that a citizen of At lanta would second a request for the loan of convicts when the health and life of residents of Atlanta wera at | stake because of the dilatoriness in completing an Imperative public im iprovement such as the Butler streeli | sewer. | [ BAR SILVER, | t LONDON, May 28 —Bar silver, 26 5-16 d. ‘ NEW YORK, May 23.-—-Commercial bar silver, 57%; Mexican dollars, 45%5.

This, cou pled with the usual week-end covering by shorts, who feared to let short lines go over Sunday in the face of predic tions of more rains in Texas, gave the market a steadier tone and at the end of the first hour the entire “flY decline had been wiped out amd the list stood 5 to 7 points net higher than the pre vious cloge.
