TYBEE PUTTING ON AIRS.
A NEW WATER TOWER AND WIND
MILL EREC TED.

An Increased Water supply for the
Island-Other Public improvements
Contemplated by the Town Council.
a Scheme to Control the Sands.
Tybee is ahead of Savannah on the water
works question. New works are in course
of erection there, which will be completed
to-day.
A new light-running windmill fifty feet
in hight has been put up. 1t is a big i'm
provement on the old one, as it does not re-
quire as much wind to drive it. 1t Is made
entirely of steel, aud in ordinary wind will
make fifty revolutions to the minuts. A
new pump has also been put in. The pump
is of the latest improved pattern aud has a
capacity Of 1000 gallons per hour. There
is hot-air engine which is used to furnish
motive power when there is no wind.
The water is supplied from 4-inch artes-
ian well which flows into 500>gallon tank
The pipes are so arranged that water can be
pumped either from the tank or direct from
the well. The new works will give an in
creased water supply, as the pressure will be
greater than that furnished by the old ma
chinery
Tybee's town council is progressive body,
and has several wor nv schemes in view for
the welfare and development Of Georgia's
famous seaside resort. The principal one is
to build complete system of sewers which
will empty into the back creek. This greatly
needed work will be done during the coming
winter. When the sewerage ques-
ton was first suggested several
persons secuted the idea on
the ground that the island is too low. The
council, however, consulted Engineer Cur
It's, and he says the scheme is perfectly feast
ole aud good system of sewerage can be
constructed. Atlantic City is considerably
lower than Tybee. aud successful sewer
age system is In operation there,
Another improvement which the council
has in view Is to build bulkhead along the
beach to control the shifting sands. After
this is built the sand-hils will be leveled
aud grass plats made inside of it.

TEE STREET ACROSS TIE PARK.

The Military's View of Opening Hall
Street Through the Parade Ground.
Although the sentiment of the military
seems TO be against the opening of Hall
street through the parade ground, Alder
man Bailey believes he has the approval of
majority of citizens in the move. They
claim the fact of Hall street being on the
very edge OF the parade ground will not in
any way detract from the beauty or useful
ness of the place for military purposes. Be-
sides the opening Of the street would greatly
convenience people who use vehicles.
The military oppose the proposed change
principally on the ground that it would
establish a precedent for the opening Of
other streets through the ground. II Alder
man Bailey will insert a clause In his ordi-
nance for the opening of Hall street, agree
ing that no other streets will ever be opened
through the grounds the opposition from
the military will decrease to an appreciabIs
extent.
II has also been suggested that he maks
provision for the asphalting of that portion
when will run through the parade ground,
and it can be then used by the military to
very good advantage for drilling purposes.
If the latter sug gestion Is accepted, it is
doubtful If any opposition will be put for
ward

BrOughton and Liberty streets. for instance.
Men who have no further interest in those

CITY BREVITIES.

Livingston Kenan, Esq, was yesterday
appointed a commercial notary public by
Judge Falligant
There was a lively runaway yesterday
morning at II o'clock at Drayton and Har-
rls streets, near the De Soto. A. w. Mey-
er's soda water wagon was going down the
street when the horses took fright at some
thing and made dash. A sudden turn
overturned the wagon, throwing out the
driver and scattering soda water in every
direction. The horses broke loose from the
wagon and dashed down the street out of
sight. The wagon was pretty well smashed
up, and soda water bottles were strewn all
over the asphalt pavement.
