THE NEW COTTON PRESSES.
The Work on the Buildings Progress
ing RAPIDLY.

ing RAPIDLY.
The work is being pushed forward rapidly
on the extensive compress property of the
Savannah Cotton Press Association which
was burned last fall The first car
load of the machinery of the two
big congresses arrived yesterday and
is being handled with dispatch. A
narrow gauge railroad has been built from
the Savannah, Florida and Western track
through cotton warehouse TO Bay street.
midway of the new building, a turn-table
has been put in and run east and west on
Bay street to point opposite where the
new COMPRISES are TO be located, to which
locations the track extends to the fixed der
ricks. The machinery is unloaded from the
railroad cars on 20 smaller cars on which 1t
is easily and rapidly moved.
A. j. Aylsworth, contractor for the car
penter and brickwork. says the derricks
are built to sustain a powerful weight, as
some Of the heavier parts of the machinery
will weigh twenty tons.
The compress property is $50 feet long by
223 feet wide, ana about 100 men are en-
gagged in the construction of the buildings.
There are seven sheds 20 by 223 feet besides
the two engine and compress houses.
One of the sheds is nearly completed. and
Mr.. Aylsworth says four of them will be
completed by the close of the week. All of
the work is to be done by Aug. 10.
Some idea of the extent of the buildings
may be had from the items of material
which is entering into the construction.
Mr.. Aylsworth says that 100000 feet of
timber and lumber and 100000 bricks
will be required.
A force of hands is repairing the wharf
in front of the entire property. As has
been shown in the MORNING NEWS when
the plans were written up, the new build
ings will be as nearly tire-proof as possible.
The walls are much thicker than they were
before, and they 60 above the roof Of each
shed, so that fire in one shed will not
affect one adjacent to it. The engine houses
are to be separated from the warehouses or

Highest Record.

Ninety-two in the Shade Yesterdays
Highest Record.
Mercury went up to 92' yesterday and
mean temperature was 80 above the average
for the last sixteen years.
The temperature was high all over the
south. Bainbridge was the only place in
the Savannah district Of the cot
ton belt, where it was below 90.
Millen. as it always is, was
the hottest place, and reported tempera-
ture of 1929. Eastman reported $50, Ala
paha, Jesup, Quitman and Live Oak 940,
and Albany, Fort Gaines and Waycross S2o
and Townsville 800. Bainbridge reported
$50. The average for the entire district
was $50.
The heat in Savannah during the fore
noon and most of the afternoon
was overpowering. The signal bureau
predicts a change, however, for to-day.
The forecastle is "Rain, slightly cooler. D
The bureau has been furnishing pretty ac-
curate forecasts and the prediction for to-
day is an acceptable one. The prediction of
Saturday for cooler weather Sunday based

THE BELT LINES PETITION.

The Granting of the Electric Fran
chise to Come Up Tomorrow.
The Belt Lines petition to the city for the
privilege to operate its cars by electricity
will come before the council tomorrow
afternoon.
There has been an impression that the
sale of the Belt Line to the Nashville syndi-
cate was conditional upon the securing of
the electric franchise, and that it was a
speculation by the Savannah Investment
Company. A stockholder of the company
said yesterday that the sale was absolute
and unconditional, and will not be affected
by the success or failure of the syndicate to
obtain the franchise which it is asking Of
the city.
There is considerable talk about the
apparent unwillingness of the council to
grant the company the franchise. One
gentleman in speaking of the matter
remarked that the council is talking
about opening its gates to new railroads
and enterprises that build up the city, and
at the same time 1t is hesitating over
granting the right to one of its leading
street railroad lines to use electricity.
why" said a gentleman who has seen
the benefits of electric lines In other cities.
''the adoption of electricity by the Belt Line
will do more to develop the outskirts and
build up Savannah than almost any other
agency"
1t has been claimed that the Belt Line has
refused to pay its share of the Liberty
street paving BILL and that it could not well
ask the city to grant it franchise when it
is resisting the payment of its proportion
of the street improvement. A stakeholder
of the company said yesterday that it has
never refused to pay its share of the paving
and has never joined in the movement
against the city. The disposition of the
council to sell the right to use electricity is
claimed to be without precedent.

CLOSING OF THE CENSUS,
Savannah's Population Will be Know
Pretty Soon.

Savannah's Population Will be Known
Pretty Soon.
The census guessers will not have long to
wait now before they will learn which
came nearest the population of Savannah.
1t is not likely that it will go over $4,000
so that those who guessed up in the
''hfties" and sixties" may hedge on their
bets if they have backed their guessing
with money.
Putting the population at $4,000 that is
an increase of AZ per cent since the last
census In 1880, and is about as great an in
crease as could be expected. Philadelphia's
increase has only been % per cent since the
last census, and very few of the larger cities
will show 40 per cent.
The count OF Savannah is nearly COM
pleted and by the end of the week all of the
reports will be in the supervisors hands,

Owls Bought for Chickens.

The men at the Central depot have the
laugh on Conductor Kelly, one of the old
veterans. Kelly bought a lot of chickens
at Lyons the other day, and counted them
himself before paying for them. When he
got to Savannah with the chickens some of
the boys examined them and found a couple
of owls blinking their eyes in the bunch
with the chickens. The owls were paid for
at spring chicken rates, and that's the rea-
son Kelly has bad look in his eye when
he passes Lyons.

The body was taken on board police tug
and a search OF the clothing settled the
question of identity. The gold watch aud
