TO the committee of the whole, the COM
pany to be represented at the meeting and

dent of the company, is the language of the
petition:
Your petitioner, the Savannah Street
and Rural Resort Railroad Company, would
respectfully state and represent that it is
DESTROYS of substituting ON its entire line of
railway electric motive power for horse
power. 1t is hardly necessary to suggest
the benefits that would result to the public
from the use of electricity. The under
signed has made its arrangements to con-
struct, at an early date, the nee essary

authorities will authorize the operation of
its road by electric power. Petitioner prays
that you will enact the necessary legislation
authorizing it to construct and use on its
lines of road a single trolley overhead sys-
tenn OF electric railway equipment"

IL would be best to increase the capital

1t was also decided to extend the time for
receiving bids for the building of the road
until June 81, and the president was author
lied to give notice by advertisement Of the

Three Days More in Which to Finish
The Enumeration.
But three days remain in which to COM
plete the census enumeration within the
time required by law. The work is pro-
crossing satisfactorily, Supervisor Beckett
says, and he hopes to have the count finishe d
in a reasonable time.
TIE enumerators' experiences are almost
as varied as the people they meet with. An
enumerator in the southern part of tue city
has been trying for four days to corner one
family. The first day he called the
lady of the house was just starting
out for a drive, and asked the
enumerator TO call the next day. Certainly,
he would The next afternoon he called and
the lady was receiving callers. Would he
call the next morning? He did. The entire
family was off on picnic. Yesterday the
lady was paying calls and only the servant
was at home. The enumerAtor has three
more days to get the enumeration of the
family.
All sorts of excuses are made use of.

but a short time to nave furnished all the

GROUND RENTERS KEEP PAYING.
Over $50 Have Received Fee-Simple
Deeds.

Over $50 Have Received Fee-Simple
Deeds.
Between $50 and 16O out Of the 800 ground
renters have paid up the balance Of the pur-
chase money and received fee-simple titles.
A large number Of these deeds were signed
by the mayor and aldermen last night, and
there was some surprise when il was found
that among the number of deeds to be per-
fected were some to Mrs. John NJ. Guerard,
as Capt Guerard was one of the prominent
anti-tax speakers at a meeting Of ground
rent lot owners at Masonic hall, and coun-
seled contesting in the courts the right 70
tax the ground rent lots.
A communication was received from City
Treasurer Hardee, stating that he had, by
mistake, received balances ON some of the
Springfield lots, at the discount allowed the
ground renters under the Falligant resolu-
ton, and he had learned from City Attor-
neY Adams that the Springfield lots were
not included. He asked the council to take
some action in the matter.
City Attorney Adams, in reply TO an in
quiry, stated that the Springfield lots were
not included in the resolution, are not tax
able, but are leases for a determinative time
and that the city is not bound by the action
of an agent In such a case as the one cited.
he said, however. that the mistake Of
Treasurer Hardee was natural one FOR
even as painstaking and careful official as
he is.
The city can return the amount to those
who have paid the city treasurer and with
hold fee-simple titles. Clerk Rebarer stated
that none of the deeds have been signed.
The matter was referred to the finance COM
mittee and city attorney.

The Regiments and Hussars' Prepara-

All of the companies of the First regi-

the Augusta encampment. The cadets
were out last night in their new blue flannel
shirts, which they will wear in camp, and
with new woven cartridge belts. The shirt
is similar to the regulation blue shirt worn
by the United States army while in service.
The Irish Jasper Greens marched from
their quarters to the park, and were fol-
lowed shortly afterward by the German
Volunteers The Republican Blues and the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry were instructed
by the officers in their quarters
Savannah will send a fine body of mill
tary TO the encampment. The First regi-
ment will probably be the only complete
regiment in the camp. Savannah will be
the only city furnishing whole regiment,
anyway. She will send a crack cavalry
company, too, and will then have more
troops left at home than any other city in
the state has all together.
The officers are having a good deal of
difficulty in securing leave of absence for
the men. Those who are ready to go are
mostly young men engaged in business, and
employers are very relunctant to spare
them for the week which the encampment
Will take up. On this acc Junt the officers
