During the early part of the councils ses-
sion Chairman Myers presided in the alb
Sence Of Mayor Schwarz, who, with Alder

mayor shall be chairman, to investigate
the practicability and ascertain the probable
cost Of opening a street or boulevard en-
circling the city, Of sufficient width to
accommodate vehicles and railroads, COM
mencing at some point In the water works
tract and running in southerly direction
TO, or near the southern extended limits of
the city; thence in an easterly direction to,
or near the eastern extended limits; thence
IN a northerly direction to, or near the
Savannah river.

luton, said that he believed the plan to be
practicable and he heartily favored it.
The resolution was adopted, and the
mayor appointed the following committee:

DRAINAGE DISCUSSION.
A lively discussion arose over the street
and lane committees report upon Alder
man Falligant's resolution to put down a
central lane flush drain in Bay lane, be-
tween Barnard and Whitaker streets. The
committee reported that private sewer
already runs through the lane, and that it
answers all of the present necessities.
Alderman Faligant's resolution was
based upon the condition Of affairs revealed
In the excavation for the Barnard street
sewer, in which it was found that the Bay
lane sewer was broken and leaking, and
that it was nearly filled with sewage mat
ter. DR.. Fallfgant made an examination of
the sewer at several points, and he
reported that it was nearly stopped up
most OF the distance between Barnard and
whitaker streets. He protested against
the committees report that che present
sewer answers all the necessities, and he
called for the yeas and nays upon its adop-
ton.
Alderman Wells said that he did not
Inlnk that the sewer was clogged. Con-
tractor Cornell, who built the market sewer,
made an examination of the Bay lane
sewer, and while it was not in good condi-
tlon at ITS western end, he did not think that
IL was filled up The end of the sewer was
carefully bricked up and sealed. Alderman
"ells said that he thought that the sewer
being private one, the owners were re-
sponsble for its condition.
Alderman Harmon said that he had ex-
aihlned the sewer aud no was satisfied that
u was not clogged up as Alderman Falli-
giant SAID 1t was. II don't think it is
stopped up any distance" Alderman Har-
mon said.
