DEWAND REPAIFING OF SEXTON STREET Property Owners Carry Cam- paign to Public Works Boa'rd Sexton street property owners who came en masse to a common council meeting last week hoping to secure a promise of immediate highway re- pair but who were disappointed, car- ried their arguments to the board of public works last night. “We have been playing Santa Claus for the rest of the city by pay- ing taxes to repair and pave streets which are comparatively new, while our own, which is an old street, has been neglected.” said Miss M. A. Lynch, one of the spokesmen for the gathering. Chairman E. N. Humphrey of the public works board repeated the as- sertion made at the common council meeting, a promise to repair the stretch between Lasalle street and the peak of the hill, but said there are no funds with which to carry on the work beyond this point. After a letter from the depart- ment of health was Chairman Humphrey and City Engineer Philip, A. Merian were instructed to investi- gate conditions on Dwight street where pools of stagnant water have caused complaint. Engineer Merian expressed an opinion that reconstruc- tion of the pavement will be found to be the only means of relief. Warning to Wrecking Crews Secretary Thomas F. McGrath was instructed to communicate with ga- rage owners and advise that the use of wreckers to tow automobiles on | the highway will not be permitted hereafter whenever there is a possi- bility that the street surface may be damaged. The board also voted to require layouts and front elevations for proposed gasoline filling stations in the future. This step is taken to insure buildings of acceptable type. The storm water sewerage in the locality of Clinton and Broad streets , and on Albany avenue was dis- cussed but board members professedy ‘duties, to see no way by which the condi- tion might be remedied. Much prop- erty damage has resulted from over- | flows in the locality and lawsuits against the city are now in prospect. Engineer Merian reported com- plaints from Russell street residents and from persons living on Washing- ton street, who say the cutting down of trees in front of the Landers' property has resulted in hundreds of starlings invading their neighbor- hoods. Prince*f Wales May Be Baptismal Sponsor London, Sept. 23' P—The Prince of Wales probably will be one of the godfathers at the christening of the infant Princess Margaret Rose, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess Fifty Per of York. Unofficial reports today said that the Archbishop of Ganter- bury probably will perform the cere- mony which will be entirely private. The baby pgobably will wear her first ceremonial dress on this occa- sion, an old lace one used at succes- sive royal christenings since the days |of Queen Victoria. The Prince of | Wale and other children of King George have been among the wear- ers. The new baby's sister, Princess Elizabeth also was baptized in it. ’ BENNETT VICTOR IN PARLIAMENT FIGHT Sails for British CGonference When Session Adjourns Ottawa, Sept. 28 (® — With his program of unemployment relief enacted, Premier R. B. Bennett pre- pared today to leave for Quebec to sail with his colleagues for the Brit- ish imperial conference. The special session of parliament, called to deal with the unemploy- ment problem, was prorogued yes- terday after having passed three measures designed to aid the indus- trial and agricultural situation in | Canada. The measures were a $20,- | 000,000 appropriation for public works, an amendment to the cus- | toms act designed to prevent dump- ing foreign goods on Canadian mar- | kets and a measure providing tarift increases. Opposition Aroused The tariff measure evoked the | strongest opposition and was passed |only after Mackenzie King, leader of the opposition, waived consideration of individual items and agreed to permit progress of the bill with the reading into the record of guaran- tees by Canadian manufacturers not to increase prices under | creased tariff. | One of the features of the tariff measure was the obliteration of the countervailing duties provid- ed under the budget measure of the Jast parliament. The countervailing which were enacted to meet | expected increases in the United | States new tariff law,*would have been lowered automatically with re- | ductions in American tariffs. Under |the new Canadian tariff the duties | will remain fixed until changed by | action in parliament. | Georgia had the lowest per capita { cost of public school education in {the r on last year— 3.07.
