WAITING TOSEE ABOUTIT
DOG OWNERS KEEPING a WATCH
ON TBB FLEMING BILL.

They May Have to Rsturn Their Ca
mines for Taxes the Same as Any
Personal Property Savannah Great
Place for Dogs, and the Bill to Add
TO the City's revenue if II Passes.
Dog owners are Interested in the bill intro
duced before the legislature by Representa-
tive Fleming OF Richmond. to make dogs
personal properly. The object. of course,
is to lake dogs subject to taxation, which
Is not the case at present.
The discussion of this subject in the
MORNING News during the recent contest
before the city council over the city's right
to levy a tax upon dogs, excited general at
tention and is in part responsible for the in
PRODUCTION of this measure.
1t will be remembered that q general
doubt was expressed among the legal fra
terDlty of the ci-y's right to tax dogs under
the law. If Mr. Jennings bill becomes a
law, however, this doubt will be removed
and the city viii be at liberty to levy
any tax upon dogs it sees fit.
NOT WORRYING MUCH.
Dog owners are not worrying very
much about the bill, however. There
has been a bill presented at nearly
lSSlSLhtalb sluCo tu6 war W
place tax upon dogs, and invariably it has
gone down before the opposition Of the fox
hunters ana cur owners. This bill, how-
ever, Is OF a different character, and merely
makes dogs personal property under the
law. With such law in force dogs would
have to be returned for taxation the same
az horses and other domestic animals. There
is no doubt that the majority of the thou
sands of hounds ours. terriers, flee, ''coon"
aud ''possum" dogs, yard dogs. egg-suckers,
and sheep-killer5 owned in Georgia could be
returned for taxation at an average value
OF 10 cents each. The small mi
nority Of more OF less valuable
pointers, settlers. Newfoundlands, st.
orally would have TO be given in a little
higher, say from 81 upward.
GREAT CITY FOR DOGS.
Savannah probably has more valuable
dogs than any town in the state that would
have to be given in at something like their
real value. The city collects taxes of 81
per annum each on about 1000 dogs. To
the majority of these dogs it is true
only sentimental value attaches. There
are number of valuable dogs and house
hold pets of blooded pedigrees whose owners
place valuatlol upon them ranging from
$40 to 800. In round numbers tie valua-
tion of these 1900 dogs might be estimated
at about $40, 900, upon which at the present
rate OF taxation their owners would have to
pay in city, state and county taxes about
$500 annually.
The dog owners will object to the law, of
course, but IL dog has IA market value of
$40 or 800 there does not seem to be any
good reason why it should not be returned
for taxes the same as horse or other ami
mall

A DIsGRACEFUL SCENE.

Lively scramble at the Postof1ce
Window.
There occurred at the postoffice on last
Sunday morning scene which was a dis
grace to any civilized community. The
mail was little late, and a large crowd
had assembled at the windows, each man
taking his place, or rather place, as no
line was formed, and there seemed no way
TO determine where eay ones place was, ali
being packed together in one dense mass
and waiting for the windows to be opened
After a short delay the windows were
opened, which was the signal for such a
rush, tug, push and scramble as
the writer had never before seen. The
rniller's motto, ''First come first served, :"
was entirely disregarded, and many of
those who come last 'went in on their
muscle" ana got their mail, leaving the
weaker ones to wait, while others, with
moro regard for their good clothes" tossed
over tip and had their mail passed out.
Now, the writer does not attempt to fix the
blame for this state of things, but he hopes
this will cone to the eyes of those who are
respons. BILE for it, and that it will be COR
rected. In the scramble one man was
struck, and another vigorously shaken, and
the conditions seemed highly favorable to
tue starting Of a small-sized riot The force
in the office seemed efficient, and the mail
was distributed with rapidlty. The author
ities should see 10 1t, as well for the fair
name of the city as for the rights of It's
citizens, that this unseemly scutfie do not
occur again. This could easily be effected
10y putting up railing and having a line
formed, as at the old office.

TIE BOYS ARE KICKING
Because the Committee Won't ALLOY
Them in the Parade.

Because the Committee Won't Allow
Them in the Parade.
A strong protest is being made by the
boys all over the city because Of the notice
given out by the jubilee committee that
they were not wanted for the parade to-
morrow night Heretofore the boys Of the
city have regarded it as their peculiar priv
ilege to turn out en- masse in the torChlight
professions and yell and shout to their entire
satisfaction.
The decision OF the committee causes
feeling Of sorrow 10 mauy youthful heart,
and there will be a min zled feeling of pain
and pleasure as they view the procession
from the sidewalk.
The Madison square boys feel particu-
larry outraged. This is the square Just
south of the De Soto aud is the headQ quarters
for about the lveliest lot of youngsters
20 be found in the city. They can steal
more barrels and have bigger bonfires than
any crowd Of boys in the city. In spite of
the committees ruling they have organized
club known az the Madison SQUARE
Democrats and have sent in their applica-
tiol for sevsnty-hve torches. They are
living in hopes that their requisition will be
honOred.
To add insult to injury according to their
views, the committee has selected Madison
square for the fireworks display and stand
is being erected there from which TO send
off the fireworks
Just think how mean it is" exclaimed
one little curly-haired youngster in knicker-
boczers last night. They go and take our
square to shoot of their fireworks in and
then won't let US parade"
The fact that they will have a splendid
chance TO view the fireworks doesn't seem
to figure as a consideration at all. 10 looks
as if the Madison square boys will have to
contain themselves until Christmas, when
they can burn all the barrels in the square
that they have been accommodating for the
last three months.
