COST OF WARNINGS SYSTEM.
Some Facts Drawn from the Work
at Norfolk and Memphis.


at Norfolk and Memphis.
NEWPORT. r. l., Nov. 10, 1888. \
DR.. J. C. LeHardy, Savannah, Co.:
am in receipt of a copy of the SAvAN-
NAH NEWS of Nov. 5, containing COM
munication on sewerage by DR.. Falligant.
The cost of constructing house drainage
under my supervision has been no more
than equally good work would cost other
wise.
There are no royalties and profits" in
which am interested that make SUCH work
in any respect more costly than other work
would be- | have some royalties and am
interested in some profits, but this | think
is the case with everybody else who has
made improvements in drainage works and
processes. Practically there could be moth
ing saved in this ways On the other hand,
the cost of constructing what is called my
system would be decidedly cheaper than
anything else that has yet been done.
l had no profit whatever on the Memphis
system aside from my fee as the engineer
controlling the work. l was interested in
the royalty on the flush tank, and l turned
over to the city all of my share thereof.
The early part of the work at
Norfolk included the laying of
deep main sewers in very difficult
ouick-sand, and the cost was enormous. 1t
was carried out under the direction of Maj
HUMPHREYS, most able and careful en-
gineer. was the consulting engineer of
the work and was entirely satisfied with his
management.
What remained to be done at the date of
the last published report OF the city engineer
that have seen, June 30, 1886, was the
sewerage of the northwest section. The en-
gineers estimate for this work included:
15-inch pipe laid at Sc per FOOT 12-inch pipe
laid at 81 per foot; 10-inch pipe laid at 81
per foot; S-inch pipe laid at 8 ] so per foot;
6-inch pipe laid at SO cents per foot. In-
Guiding manholes, the estimate for the
whole work made the average cost 81, All 20
per mile.
doubt if even DIR. Falligant could lay
| good Pinch pipe sewers in your lanes for
anything like 50 cents per foot, as he esti-
mates.
Concerning the size of pipes to be used, l
can only refer to my previous statements
that ample experience with between $50 and
| 500 miles under my system in use in this
| country, some of them for more than twelve
| years, has fully demonstrated their
| efficiency. The use of rain water leaders
| from housetops as ventilators for sewers
| and house drains was condemned by prac-
| tical experience almost as long ago as l can
| remember anything about such work.
If the levels furnished me. by your city
| engineer were correct, the alignment of my
| plan is better adapted to your conditions
| than any system of straight lines possibly
| could be. If the survey was incorrect, OF
| course it should be corrected before this
| question is determined. Very truly yours

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 13.-At o'clock
this morning fire broke out in the Wheeler
elevator on Buffalo river at the foot of
South Michigan street, caused probably by
over-heated machinery. The interior of the
building was destroyed, involving loss of
SAC, 900, which is covered by insurance. 1t
contained $4,000 bushels of wheat and
barley. Much of it will be saved, though
in damaged condition. The grain was

interior Of tie stores was pretty well burned
out
GRAIN BLOCKS THE STREETS.
Thousands of bushels of wheat, corn and
oats flowed down from the different stores
and covered up half the streets.
The fire was prevented from spreading
to Harbeck's and Roberts stores adjoining
The cause of the fire is not known, but it
originated somewhere about the engine
room.
The loss on the grain is about $500, 900,
and the f11a chi S1S 600 Tho l6SS
the building is about 100000, making

CHARLEsTON's TAX WAR.
The Imprisoned Merchants Accept the
Clty's Terms.

The Imprisoned Merchants Accept the
Clty's Terms.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Nov 13.-The pro-
tracted municipal license war in Charleston
came to close to-day. The imprisoned
merchants were taken before the circuit
court ON a writ OF habeas corpus. The case
was argued and the court held that the cir
cunt court could not reverse the decision of
the state supreme court. This cut away
the last prop of the defendants. Two
hours later they surrendered, accepting
the terms offered them four DAYS
ago by the city, viz: Each defendant to take
out a license and TO pay in addition so per
cent. of the price of his license, which
amount il is estimated will reimburse the
city for tho actual cost of the trials before
the city court. The city RENTS the fines,
which aggregate several thousand dollars.
and the court officials also remit their fees
and costs.
ALL ABLE TO PAY BUT THREE.
Out of the twenty defendants in Jail only
three are supposed to be unable to pay their
| 3,ro rata In their cases it is understood
The city will remit everything. All the de-
fendants settled up this afternoon aud the
| elegant quarters which served as a jail are
now vacant The man who is most out Is
the TAILOR who owns the building occupied
| by the prisoners during their alleged incar-
| ceration. He had rented it out, but when
| the merchant prisoners were committed to
| his care he rescinded the lease and placed
the building at their disposal.
FoRTY-sEvEN CONVICTED.
There were in all forty-seven defendants
convicted. OF this number. twenty seven
paid up and twenty went to Jail. 1t is said
that all but three Of these were willing to
compromise, but that ex-Alderman Eckel,
John McElree and I. Rugheimer persuaded
the others TO submit to imprisonment This
ends one Of the most remarkable litigati ons
perhaps on the records of the court in
Charleston. 1t is more than probable that
the license tax of the city will be so
! amended next year as to rid it of its most
! Objectionable features.

assistance of a fire extinguisher and several
cool headed passengers, soon had the flames
under control. There were twenty passen-
