It seems to me thev should be held in contempt by all decent citi zens, for not having "the backbone to stand up for what they knew was right. instead of surrendering to political in fluences and the fear of personal disfa vor with some influential citizens. I do not know exactly what steps I ishall take, but the matter will not rest here. I am done with the mayor; it is the counciimen 1 am after now. I propose to show them no in their true light."

The Atlanta Bus iness Men's league has taken the initia tive in an important movement looking to the enactment of laws for the aboli tion of the fee system in this state.
