A FIGHT OVER PAVING.
The City and Suburban Railway to
Enjoin the City.


Enjoin the City.
A legal fight is likely to grow out Of the
sale of that part of the City and Suburban
Railways roadbed, tracks and property at
the corner of Broughton and Whitaker
streets, and also at Broughton and Barnard
streets advertised to be sold by the city
marshal July g.
The sale is for the collection of the amount
claimed by the city for paving feet of the
street on each side Of the railway track.
The railway company, it is understood, is
about to enjoin the city and carry the mat
ter into the courts. 1t is
claimed by the company that under
an agreement with the street
and lane committee of the council at the
time the street was paved that the payment
for the paving on the outside of the tracks
should be decided by the case of the Coast
Line railroad, which was then in thecourts.
The court decided that the Coast Line was
not liable for the pavement outside of its
tracks The city now proposes to collect
from the City and Suburban railway, and
the company proposes to make the same
fight that the Coast Line made.

The final examinations of the high school
graduating classes, which have been in
progress for some time, will close to-mor-
row, and by Friday the principals will be
ready to announce the standing of the grad
yates and who they are. The graduation
exercises will take place on June 20.
There will be ten essayists besides the two
honors, and these essay visits will be selected
upon scholarship basis, and without re-
gardsto sex. If the girl graduates have the
highest scholarships they will read
the essays, and the boys will have
the same chance. The examinations this
year are more rigid than they have been in
former years, and if the graduates secure a
high standing they will have earned it by
thorough preparation and knowledge Of
the subjects on which they are examined.
The graduating classes are large this
year, and not much more than one-fourth
of the class will have the opportunity of
displaying its eloquence at the graduation
exercises.

bnen dismissed capt. Greene, and when he
had left my office said to Mr.. Curtis, in sub
stance: II do not understand this; you now
admit that you were mistaken as to the
language you attributed to Capt. Greene; that
he never asked you to lend yourself to corrupt
practices, or intimated that he wished you to
do so, and yet you say you inferred he intended
to bride you" He replied that he was really
honest in his belief, but presumed that Capt
Greene would now hate him for what he had
sad and would try to injure him, and
that he thought he had better resign
and go away. l replied that he need not
resign on that account, that we all made mis-
takes, and that should always give the fullest
protection to any of my employees who were
trying TO do right. He then said that he should
like to think the matter over. Within day or
SO he came to me saying in substance that he
thought he had better resign, that If
ne had not drawn wrong in
ference from Capt. Greene's converse
ton with him, he would feel better away from
Savannah, and that if he had made wrong in
ferences he ought not to stay in the
service. l then allowed him to resign
TO take effect Jan. 6. 1889. About week after
accepting the resignation of Mr.. Curtis, was
shown personal letter written by him. in
which he made a number of wantonly false
statements. Upon learning Of these, / lost all
confidence in Mr.. Curtis, and Immediately
withdrew any recommendations of him had
previously made.
AS the United States was protected as against
MN, on account OF his having already left the
Service no further action could be taken by me
other than to report his untrustworthiness and
unfitness to be ever again employed by the en-,
gineer department. This was done.
