Of the Canal
Mayor SchwarZ has instructed City En-
gineer Winn to notify the Central railroad
that the fifty-foot roadway which it agreed
to give along the western boundary Of It's
land north If the Bay street extension may
zow be opened.
In referring to his action the mayor said
yesterday that be has taken this course 50
that the roadway may be opened before
the close Of his administration, to avoid any
dispute which might hereafter arise, an
embarrassing position which the present
city council found itself confronted with
when it went into power.
The road runs in a nOrthwardly direction
from the western terminus of that portion
Of tie Bay street extension recently thrown
op9n by the Central on to the Vale Royal
road, near the Savannah river. The road
will be about :, 800 fest long. The city, hav-
ing fifty feet from the Central properly,
also claims twelty-four feet from private
property on the sane line, thus securing a
roadway seventy-four feet wide, from the
Bay street extension nearly to the river.
The Bay street extension lies near the
southern portion of the water works tract,
and the latter will be connected with the
new street by an unnamed street
in the Jasperville tract. 1t is
learned that the city will, in few days,
push its part of the Bay street extension
forward through the Exley farm.

THE REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE.
The Plans of the 1ncorporators Of the
New Organization.

The Plans of the Incorporators of the
New Organization.
The movement to establish a real estate
exchange is step toward doing away with
the court house sales. The incorporators
of the exchange, as soon as thew have Sc
cured a charter, and have got in working
order, will submit bill to the legislature
authorizing the sale of estate property in
the exchange.
This, when all of the real estate brokers
have come into the exchange, will practi-
cally do away with the court house sales of
real estate except that which is sold for
taxes. The petition for incorporation which
was presented to the superior court last
week by S. K. Platshek and M. A. O'Byrne
contemplates the establishment of an
exchange upon very nearly the
same plan as that of the New York Real
Estate Exchange.
II is claimed by the incorporators that it
viii regulate the real estate business, and
will put it on a better basis than at present.
The plan is to bring all of the real estate
brokers in the city Into the exchange and
make 1t the medium for handling all real
property.

those who have appealed from the action of

oath all questions, that several of the appel

their assessments raised-somethiug they
had not contemplated. To give up the
amount of their insurance on stock and the
amount of their monthly balances is diving
into their business affairs a little deeper than
some OF them want the council to go. They

all these answers must be made under oath,
