FIVE MILLION BRICKS
Laid In Sidewalks in Savannah in the
Last -Four Years.

The statement is not too broad or boast
| full that Savannah is not now excelled by
any city in the south in the matter OF side
walks The city now has uniform sys-

used. Four years ago he laid the sidewalk
from Bay to Liberty streets. and 1000 900
bricks were used in that contract, making
a total OF ), 0O0, 600 bricks laid in Savannah
for sidewalks in four years. Alderman
