1T WAS TALKED OF.
The Council Agreed to Increase Il
Police Force but Didn't.

The Council Agreed to Increase the
Police Force but Didn't.
Alderman w. F. Reid was asked yester-
day in regard to the understanding that
the city budget for 1888 was fixed with q
view to increase the police force, so that
two policemen might be on duty at once in
Magazine. ogiethorpe and Walton wards,
each, where SO much trouble is experienced
by the officers.
Tho alderman replied that while he pre-
feIred not to be placed in position where 1t
would lock as if he were giving out any
action OF the board in secret session,
yet in this case, wien confronted with the
question be could not well avoid giving a
frank answer. The budget was increased,
he said, on his motion, a the argument
used " "a that in the localities mentioned the
efficiency of the police force could not be
maintained properly without the police
patr0led in pairs. Ii was t. prevent Just
such trouble as the Thanksgiving day riot
that led Alderman Reid to urge the neces-
sity Of increasing the force in loo Ilities
where resistance to arrest is CON-
mon, and which would DO lessened
If two officers were together
The patrols are long, and at present a single
officer may often find himself confronted by
a mob of ruffians, and the nearest officer Is
half dozen blocks away, as was the case
last Thursday
In response to an inquiry why the sug-
gestion was not carried out of increasing
the force. the alderman was either unable
or unwilling TO fix the responsibility of the
failure upon any one.

Welding Bale Ties and Bands by Elec-
tricity.

The Thompson Electric Welding Gem
pany have perfected machine for welding
cut bale ties and part of ties. Each weld is
made in less than five seconds, the amount
of horse power required very small, and the
metal at the weld is fully as strong as at
any other part of the tie. BY means of this
cut ties can be easily united, and the pieces
which accumulate at the congresses made
very quickly into proper lengths for use.
This machine cannot fail to be of great
value throughout the south. Parties in
Boston are already forming company to
do this work. Cut band ties accumulate in
this vicinity Of various lengths, and at pres
ent are worthless except as scrap iron
They are passed between rollers which
straighten them out, and are then welded
aud submitted to a chemical bath, which
gives them a bright, clean look, after which
they are TO be put in bundles aud shipped
TO various points in the south.
Why cannot this work be done as well
here and save the freightsi The company
is at present building machines Of various
sizes, for different purposes, from those
capable Of Welding q iron or steel, to the
smallest wires, aud at much less cost than
by the old methods, and az great saving
Of time. Their works are at Lynn, Mass,
and their Boston Office No. 20 Kilby street.

THE GUARANTEES COST
WHAT SAVANNAH PAID TO GUARD
AGAINST YELLOW JACK.

$1e,s22 10 Expended by the City in
Quarantining and in Sanitation and
Over $1,000 Contributed to the
Fever Sufferers-Nearly $4,000 Paid
Out for Guards and Inspection.
Now that the quarantine has been raised
against Florida, it will be interesting to
know how much it has cost the city to
maintain it during nearly four months.
The city of Charleston, whose extra santa
ton cost but s6,474 rs, and that includes
$1,000 donated to the yellow fever sufferers,
is far behind the cost which has been entailed
upon Savannah, where more rigid quar-
antine was necessary, and where the city
sanitation received far more than the usual
attention.
The following detailed statement will
show the expenses incurred on account Of
the quarantine up to and including yester-
day as shown by the CITY treasurers books:
Paid for pals, buckets, dippers and
for bottles, corks and botttlDg acids.
Paid for 1850 barrels lime for disin-
fecting and whitewashing .......... 447o rs

In addition to this, there were private and
public donations to the yellow fever suffer
ers amounting to over $1,000, aud a private
subscription of $500 was raised to aid Way
cross in keeping up her quarantine, so that
the fever in Florida has directly and indi-
rectl cost the people of Savannah in the ag-
gregate about $4,000. OF the above sum
OF sos 76, less than one-third was for
quarantine expenses proper, the remainder
being for the extra sanitation deemed nee
essaTy by the sanitary authorities during
the prevalence of the epidemic in a neigh
boring state.
