IMPROVING LOVERS LANE.
An Important Sanitary WOrk-Lay-
ing Half Mile of Drains.

An Important Sanitary WOrk-Lay-
ing Half a Mile of Drains.
The city is doing very important work
IN the drainage and improvement of
Lovers lane. The roadw from the ga
vannah, Florida and Western railway
tracks to Waters road is narrow. 1t has
been drained for many years bv deep
ditch along the south side. The ditch is
uncovered and in some places is five and
six feet deep. 1t has been almost impos-
sible to keep it clear and the water stag
mated In the summer season it has been
the source of a great deal OF complaint.
It's close proximity to the road made
travel dangerous.
The city is now putting down tile
draius, a foot in diameter, and is cover
ing the ditch. The work was begun at
the intersection of Lovers lane with the
Waters road, and is completed about half
way TO the savannah, Florida aud West
err tracks. The distance to be drained is
a little over half mile. The supply Of
tile ran out a day or two ago, and two
more carloads, enough to complete the
work, are expected next week. As soon
as they arrive the work will be tilished
at once. 1t will probably take about
ten days. The drainage is from both di-
TectiOns, east and west, into the kerlln
drain which crosses Lovers lane about
half way between the Waters road and
the railroad and leads into the BiIbO
canal. The tile drains are porous, and
with the connections that are made at va
rious points will drain the lands on DOth
sides OF the road the entire d distance it is
laid. The filling up OF the ditch will
widen the roadway and make a safe drive.
1t is the intention TO continue the work
on Waters road next winter, but nothing
further will be done after Lovers lane is
completed until November.

Wanted the Warrant Read.

A cOmmOtion was caused early yester-
day afternoon at the corner Of Bull and
Broughton streets by a colOred constable
trying to arrest a colored nan. The latter
at first refused to go without having the
warrant read to him, and the constable
either could not or would not read the
document. The loud talking and slight
tussle in a minute drew a large mixed
crowd to the scene of action, which dis
persed as quickly when the two darkies
''pOoled their issues' and went off to-
gether. They subsequently had a fight
on Habersham street, which ended in the
c0lored constable getting the best of the
battle and carrying his prisoner to the
magistrates office.
