The Clty's Prendergast Purchase.
SAVANNAH. GA, Jan. Il, 1859.

SAVANNAH, GA, Jan. a. 1859.
Editor Morning NeWs: Some current
rumors having come 70 my ears in relation
to the settlement between Mr.. Charles F.
Prendergast and the mayor and aldermen
Of toe city Of Savannah, which do serious
injustice 10 both parties, and are calculated
70 create false impressions in the public
mind concerning the real merits Of the
transaction, and as Mr.. D. Z. Thomas and
MAJ. John Schwarz were both, as ms.ubers
Of council, parties to il, | think it right and
Just T. all parties 70 give a far account OF
and jud guent upon the transaction itself.
At an outlay Of 81 900 the city qulred
the streets through property comprising
il its remainder, after the streets were
taken, tee large number Of ffty-f0ur lots,
worth certainly sj4, 900 and likely soon to
be worth 800, 900, independent of any i'm
prOyeme1ts which may be put upon them.
1t is reasonable to estimate that in the
splendid location OF these lots valuable
houses will be put upon them, equal in the
aggregate to another 100000 This will
give the city taxable property OF 500 100
IL what is known as the PrendergasC proper
ty, on which the city taxes would be about
81, 900 per annum, or 100 per cent. per
annum on its outlay of $4,000 for these
streets.
Even at the present estimated value Of
81, eco each for the ffty-four lots without
allowing for future increase in value Of the
lots and the further increase by improve
ments, the city taxes would be over 81 900
per annum, or an annual return Of tt0enty-
fire per cent on the outlay for the streets.
If the city can only make enough of such
immensely profitable transactions as these
of the Prendergast and Dillon purchases,
the increase in the profitable annual return
or taxes will pay large part of the interest
on our public debt-thus greatly tighten
ing the load on the older part Of the city.
The retiring city council, including Mr..
D. R. Thomas and Maj. John Schwarz
both having voted to confirm the bargain)
have my hearty congratulations upon the
wisdom Of their action in this matter.
Respectfully yours,
