The following communication, re-
ceived by Clerk Mckee from A. n.
Towne, of the Southern Pacific Company,
in regard to the filling of China Slough,
was read:
Answering yours of the 18Th inst. I
have had a very full conference with
Mayor Comstock of your city in relation
70 this same subject-matter, and we have
in mind some scheme for accomplishing
the filling OF China Slough at the min
imum expense; however, until our ideas
are matured, cannot say more"
A petition was received asking that the
board permit q billiard hall to be estab-
hshed at 3l5 X street. The matter was
laid over for one week.
A MATRON FOR THE JAIL.
Mrs. Stirling of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union and two other lady
members OF the association. appeared be-
fore the board to urge that woman be
appointed as matron for the city prison.
Mrs. Stirling addressed the board on the
subject, and stated that the society
thought there was need of such person
at the Jail to care for sick women, and
when necessary, search those who were
suspected of crime. New York, Chicago
and all the important cities in the United
States employed matrons in the prisons,
and they were found to be Indispensable
the Women's Christian Temperance
man, whom they believed could fill the
position acceptably.
Chief Drew said he did not think there
was need of q matron remaining at the
Jail or being employed there constantly,
as sometimes in month only one or two
women Were arrested. He would recon-
mend, however, that the board employ a
woman who conld be called upon when it
was necessary.
The board wanted weeks time to con-
slider the matter, and action was accord
ingly deferred.
WITNESS FEES.
a bill of $40 for subpenaing witnesses.
which was referred by the Board ofSuper-
visors to the Trustees for payment, was
referred back again to the Supervisors
The board considered that the city had
nothing to do with such bills.
a resolution was passed ordering w
street, from Eighth to Tenth, graded.
"A resolution was passed ordering an
elght-inch ironstone pipe sewer to be con-
structed in the alley between X and l.,
Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. A
sewer was also ordered laid in the alleys
between p and @, Fifteenth and Thir-
teenth streets.
Trustee Mclaughlin moved that the
Central Street Railway Company be re-
quested to file a written acceptance of the
order OF the board instructing them to
put guard wire over their electric wires
on the main streets. The motion was car
ried unanimously.
The Mayor made an objection to paying
bill for purchasing some furniture for
Police Judge Cravens' office in the old
City Hall building.
Trustee Wolf remarked that he be-
heved the furniture was necessary, and
besides the Judge had turned into the
treasury SS7 so last week. The bill was
paid.
The Board adjourned.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-12-03

Mr.. J. A Bates Of Ludden & Bates
Southern Music House thinks Savannah
should have special exhibit aud he offers
a very unique idea
"There should be state exhibit first Of
al, =" said Mr.. Bates. "TLen we could adj
vertiss Savannah by a special exhibit.
Cities are all so muoh alike in many things
that mere exhibit OF manufactures aud
mercantile goods would be Of very
little interest. My suggestion is "A model OF
the city of Savannah, taken from a birds
eye view. showing all of it's principal build
ings and business and residence streets, with
the rows Of shade trees, the squares and
monuments and Forsyth park, On the river
should be model OF every steamship ply
ing between Savannah and the northern
ports. That would be an eye-opener in
itself, for there is no other southern city that
can make such a showing. The ships would
be shown at the wharves leading with cotton,
naval stores, lumber and everything else to
be seen on the wharves. All the railroad
lines leading into the city should be repre-
sented with the trains coming into the city
and the Importance OF our railroad connec-
tons illustrated This is a strong point.
Let it be thorough model of the city. Il
could be placed upon a space, say 40x60
feet, very easily. / once saw a model Of the
whole Of Palestine in a space about 70x30.
1t would COST a great deal less than
most people would imagine and
could easily be gotten up by some fellow of
ingenuity and skill. A plentiful supply of
printed statistics OF Savaunah's receipts and
exports and her wholesale trade in all towns
should accompany the exhibit. That is my
There would be nothing like it
at the fair and it would attract more atten-
tion than anything of the kind that could
possibly be gotten up"
Mr.. Bates idea is certainly worthy Of
consideration.
