Disposition to Discuss Them Thor
oughly Before Passing on Th EN-.
The proposed increase Of water rates,
which the council did not reach Wednesday
night, owing TO the lateness Of the hour,
was the talk of the street yesterday.
Alderman Wells, in his defense OF the
rules and rates, said that there is a great
deal of chicanery to steal water, and that
the proposed water rates are nearly the
same as the old rates, but that more rove
nue. will be derived as the new rates are
based upon al assessment of $500 property
valuation, and nultiples of $500, whereas
under the old assessment the lowest was
81 900, and the other valuations nlultiples
of $1,000. He stated that the increase
would come from the new basis of assess
ment.
Alderman Wells was very anxious to
have the rates referred to a smaller COM
mittee tnan the committee of the whole,
but this point was not carried 1t is under
stood that when the proposed rates come
up for the consideration of the committee
to which they have been referred each rate
will be taken up separately and discussed.

WHAT MAN HAS DONE MAN CAN
DO"


Five years ago the territory bounded by
West Broad, Cemetery, Anderson and New
Houston streets was dreary, sandy COM
mon. Some citizans having Judgment and
| pluck in their composition, bought it placed
it in the hands OF a liue real estate nn1n and
he sold it. That territory is now brilt up
with good class of dwellings, many of
them owned and occupied by as good citi-
zens as we have in our midst The parties
Of Judgment and pluck, " as aforesaid, m ade
on that purchase about $40, ,000-the ,au-
tioneer, as usual, made but little. These
''partiesn were satisfied; and everybody,
who thought of it at all, were sure that all
! the profit had been obtained that was pos
| sible. The facts of the case are thai many
of these same lots that now have good dwell
lings upon them have changed hands sever
al times and paid fine profit to each. The
prices at which these lots are now selling
seems almost Incredible to those who are
| familiar with the facts and history of the
| locality
The improvement of that part of the city
was not more astonishing than that which
has taken place in the southern portion.
The greater portion Of our population re-
member the appearance five years ago of
the section between CASTOR and Anderson
and West Bread and Habersham streets.
No more uninviting, desolate country could
be found in this vicinity. The average cit
! izen considered that the city stopped at
CASTOR street. or thereabouts, and all be-
yOnd that point was almost terra incoqnito.
The eak was made, one good house was
| quickly followed by another, until even
real estate men hardly knew how to quote
values in that locality. To-day the section
referred to is preferred above all others for
residences, and the vacant lots may be
counted on the fingers of one hand, with
prices well up in the four figures.
This development of values was consid-
cred wonderful Its repetition continues in
| other sections farther south, and will go on
as long at Savannah is prosperous.
There was a lamsntable amount Of ignor-
auce and lack OF appreciation of the value
Of land arou d the city until the building
Of the street railways.
These took the people nolens uolens into
new territory. They vanquished distance
and bought the land, as it were, near their
places of business. The chances of getting
houses at moderate prices was thus afforded,
and the building up Of that section trav-
| ersed by the railroads was the result. This
is the experience Of all cities.
Already the tide of improvements has
swept beyond Anderson. absorbing most Of
First, Second, Third and Fourth streets A
half of decade will witness the settlement
Of all the remaining territory up to Twelfth
street, and an advance corresponding to
that realized in other localities. Those now
investing IN suburban lots will not have
to wait long to realize what is herein as
serted, but they will find themselves in pos
| session of profits which no other invest
mont would have made fer them. con-
fdently believe that year hence it will be
difficult to buy lots in the extended limits
at double their present value.

| Compared With Loan Associations.
The man who in any way seeks to decrv
| the usefulness of loan associations at once
betrays his ignorance of their practical
workings, and Of the beneficial results ac-
cruing from them. No city in this country.
doubtless, owes more to them for its steady,
healthy growth than does our beautiful Sa-
vannah.
1t Is In order, however, when possible, to
recommend that which is better than these
highly beuefcent enterprises.
Many persons in the city have been TAX
ing stock in associations and companies
having for their ultimate purpose the lend
ing of money with which to procure homes
for their subscribers or stockholders.
An absolute rule in these corporations is
that there must be good margin between
the amount loaned and the value of the
property. Stockholders are frequently dis
appointed because their applications for
loans are not favorably acted upon. Their
purpose in subscribing to the stock is de-
teated, they become disappointed, sell out
their stock for less than the amount paid in.

OF things to consider, because the ''Iatter
end of that man is worse than the frst.n
He can never be converted into a believer
in real estate operations, loan associations
or real estate companies. Sometimes this
result is brought about by inexperienced
committees-but the bad effects are ire
psrabls.
All Of this is obviated by the terms of
the property to be sold on the 22d inst No
money is needed to purchase stock in order
that you may be entitled to borrow. Every
dollar pai>- % upon the purchase money of
the lot No committees are asked to pass
upon the value of your security. You act
for yourself and bid what the lot is worth
TO you. There are no premiums on loans to
be advanced upon you by other borrowers,
but the advance made by you over the bid
Of your competitor is based upon the merits
OF the property from your standpoint. No
fines or interest harrass you when paying
your monthly installments, for the condi-
tioas of the bond for titles, plainly expressed
fair, liberal and easy-constitute your
obligation, and cannot be added to or taken
from.

"Titles AbsoluteIY Perfact. >,

Ns reiterate it here. The titles have
been so pronounced by two of the best at
torneys in the city, and the certificate of
the hrm will be ucon every paper given
These papers will be prepared without ex-
pense to the purchaser, and in r. manner
that will satisfy the most exacting. There
will be no carefully constructed clauses of
ambiguous meaning, but the rights Of
buyer and seller alike will be protected,
and exact justice done to each. There is no
danger of being 'scooped up" by steel
trap forfeiture clause or eaten up by com
pound interest. The desire is to make the
properly in every way acceptable to the
purchasing public, and no pains or expense
will be spare to accomplish this object.

The Borings in ProgrsEs at Deptford
Others on Hutchinson's Island.
Lieut.. Carter said yesterday that the
work on the borings ct Dsptford which are

progressing rapidly. Three borings will be
made. One of them will be near Fort Osle-
thops and the other two will be back Of it.
The boring the farthest back has bean com
pleted and the second one will be finished
today, probably.
Ths boring extended sixty one feet down.
For twenty fest down blue marsh mu1 was
struck, below which was some stone. At
thirty feet a fair variety Of sand was
reached. A forty feet the sand was sharp,
clear, coarss and almost pure. At fifty odd
feet very small particles Of greea
mari was reached and at ffty-eight
the mari itself was reac ed.
A few feet farther and the boring was
discontinued, in view of the fac. that ex-
perience obtained here in boring artssian

rock. The mari is practically a rock.
Lieut.. Carter said that two borings will
be made on Hutchinson's island, near the
old dry dock, as soon as the Deptford bor-
ings are made. All, be thought, will be
completed within the next thre3 or four
days. The boring is done with drill and
the material is poured out just as in an ar

Lieut.. Carter said that in view of the
fact that the borings are TO be made for the

The DRAIN AGE QUESTION.
Aldsrmen Fslligent's New Plan fol
Building & House Drainage System.

Aldsrmen Fallieent's New Plan for
Building & House Drainage System.
Alderman Falligant proposes a new fnan-
cisl scheme for the construction Of house
drainage system. It is somewhat similar
to that which be suggested to the council
nigAt before last for the water works.
Estimating. for instance, the cost OF the
system st $500, 900 in round numbers, and
that Z 900 premises would be connected with
1t, If an average annual drainage
zee g q only S were collect
ed from each Of these premises, Al
derman Failigant figures the revenue at
$50, 600 per annum. OF this amount $l5,000
would pay per cent. interest on $500, 900
OF sewer bonds issued to construct the sys
tenn, leaving so, 900 for annual expenses,
Keeping sewers clear, etc, and e provide
a sinking fund for the bonds
II the bonds can be marketed
at par with 4 per cent. interest, provided
the legislature makes them non-taxablo
tand the alderman sad that he can see
every reason why sanitary work should be
helped in this wavi, then the annual in
tersst would be S12 90.
BY adopting this means Of construction
the entire system, exclusive Of the house
connections, he says, would be under the
control and supervision OF council, and,
with proper engineers or inspectors in
charge of it. it could be kept in perfect
order at a small expense.
Alderman Falligan5 has presented the
scheme before ths city council for its con-
sideration in come rtion with the question
Of water supply. Both q estions, he says,
are fres from the ENLARGEMENT of consti-
tutional debt limitations, and they furnish
financial schemes by means of which the
city can provide all needed funds to do
good work, and can raise these funds out
of resources aot' now in existence In other
words, these new creations, he says, can
we'll afford to pay their own way without
increasing the load now on the backs of the
taxpayers.
