EXCHANGE STREET.-The Committee on
New Streets came very near wrecling fine

with the view of re-openipg Exchange street

SEBAGo WATER The Advertiser says that
the increase Of water rates from 81 to $40 a
year is rendered necessary to meet the expense
of the new Improvements and pay the interest
on the bonds and floating debt. The company
claim that with the increase, its rates are lower
than those of any city where the municipality
does not own the water-works. 1t such cases
it is cheaper because much Of the expense of
maintaining the works comes from the taxa
ton of the property of the city. AS early as
August the company expect to complete its
new pipe from Wards hill to the Lake, which
will increase the supply in the city million
gallons per day.

Port Royal rs u coal Depot.

For several months Mr.. D. G. Wilson,
receiver of the Port Royal Railroad, has
been trying to secure the establishment
of coal depot at Port Royal, and to
have the government make thorough
test OF some Georgia coal that has been
on hand for that purpose. Mr.. Wilson
claims that Jituminous Goa. cqua' icnot 81
perior to that now in use by the navy can
be furnished at Port Royal and at lower
figure than it can be brought from the
North for. When in Washington few
days ago he secured the necessary orders
for board Of engineers to make the test,
and the work began last Wednesday
and was concluded on Friday.
The coal used to make the tc st came
from Dade county Georgia and was taken
from mines owned by cX-Gov. Brown.
The board Of engineers consisted of
Chiefs King of the Dictator, McNcary
of the Ajax and Harris of the Plymouth.
The Plymouth was especially assigned
for this duty, her machinery being best
adapted for making the test 1t was at irst
intended to run to Charleston under the
steamfrom the Georgia coal but a telegram
informed them that the Plymouth could
not get over the bar owing to her heavy
draft, II feet, until the high tides about
the 21st, so she was made fast to the
wharf at Port Royal and during the
sixty hours Of the experiment she did
here best to try the frmness OF that
structure. The coal was brought along
side in the railroad hrs to within twenty
feet ofthe steamer when it was carefully
weighed. After passing through the
furnaces the ashes were all weighed and
noted down to see how much steam
producing coal is consumed to generate
certain amount of steam.
The final decision of the engineers
WIZ not be known until it has passed
through the proper channels but from
what we cor learn the officers are much
pleased with the coal and will report on
1t very favorably. If this coal should
be adopted 10y the government the Port
Royal Railroad will reap harvest from
