WHO SHOULD BEAR IT?

These are merely the facts in the case,
whether the work of the court warrant
ed an increase, or so large an increase in
the costs is another question.
AS is well-known the county pays the
large bulk of the expenses of the court.
1t pays the jury bills, which are by far
the largest item; the judges salary, the
largest part of the expenses of the solic-
itor, and equips and furnishes all the
court offices. The city pays the per diem
of the clerk and sheriff of the court, and
part of the expenses of the solicitor.
The city court is not properly q city
court, but is almost altogether a county
court. 1t is said that politics had some
thing to do with placing the election of
its clerk and sheriff in the hands of the
city council and with giving it its name.
This, however, was done sometime ago,
and the facts in connection with it will be
readily remember
As the court is primarily a county court,
the question has been raised as to why
the county should not bear the entire ex-
penses of its machinery and operation. It
has jurisdiction over the entire county,
in civil as well as in criminal cases
which come within the bounds of its juris-
dictiOn. The citizens of the county out
side of the city, as well as within its linn
it's all reap the benefits from it.
Every now and then the question is ag-
itated in the city council and elsewhere,
with regard to the increased costs and as
to why the county should not bear the
entire expense. If the increased costs are
necessitaued by the increased business,
the latter question will no doubt claim
the largest part of the attention of the ag-
itatOrS.

TIMES ARE HARD,

MUSIC KEEPS ON.

Two magnificent PARLoP
GRAND PIANOS sold from
our Wareroon1s on Thursday
last.
Half Of this talk about money being
tight in Savannah is sheer nonsense.
Plenty of cash here, but people are
afraid to spend it and are boarding il
away in old stockings for burglars To
steal or fire to destroy.
Far wiser to put it back in the bank
or invest it in some way 50 it will yield
return.
A safe and paying investment is the
purchase Of PIANO or ORGAN at
the Low Cash Prices now ruling.
Come in and we will show you genu-
inc bargains that will pay you a big
interest on your money.
Never better time to buy cheap.
and Pianos are as safe an investment
as United States bonds. Are they not
guaranteed? and are not their SILVER
notes acceptable the world over?
Yea, verify.

THE new MAYOR.
He Refuses to Approve Certain Bills
Against the City.
Thinks Chief Rodgers Should Pay His
Own Horses Expenses-Opposed
to Free Rides for Drunks.

The City Trustees had a great deal of
business before them yesterday, and the
matter of allowing bills went over until
the afternoon. Among the first that chal-
lenged the attention of Mayor Steinman
were certain regular demands on account
of the care of the Crocker Art Gallery.
and he declared he would not approve
them until he learned something more
about the city's responsibility therefor.
Auditor Young said the city's duty in
the case was regulated by the law under
which the municipality accepted the
property, and Trustee Conklin added
that the city was bound to pay share of
the expense.
Mayor Steinman said he didn't care
it was loose way of doing business not
to have the bills certified to by some one
in authority, and he wouldn't sign one of
them until he had further investigated
the matter.
The new Mayor was evidently on the
warpath, for (metapnorically Speaking)
he jumped stiff-legged when he took up
bill for the shoeing of Chief of Police
Rodgers horse, and another for hay and
grain for the animal.
THE city doesn't own a horse that 1
know OFF, said the Mayor, "aud Pm op-
posed to our paying for shoeing and feed
ing the horses of private individuals.
These bills do not go.''
Then the new and beautiful patrol
wagon came in for a scoring. IL. L.
Greer had presented a bill, as usual, for
hauling drunken men to the police sta
ton. He provides his own horse and in
stead of receiving a regular salary from
the city, the Trustees have been allowing
him the same rate fifty cents per head
for hauling prisoners as had formerly
been paid to eXpressmen about town for
such service The difference is that the
patrol wagon can be called on at any hour
of the day or night to convey officers to a
fire, or a riot, and to take to the Jail or
hospital either prisoners or sick or in
jured persons at such times as express
wagons cannot be had.
The circumstances did not protect the
system from the Mayors criticism, how
ever. He said he was teetotally opposed
to paying so week for hauling drunks
in a wagon belonging TO the city, so long
as there were men paying licenses for do
ing that kind of business. He was against
giving Greer monopoly OF the business
of hauling drunks at fifty cents a head
Both Trustees Conklin and Green
mildly took issue with Mayor Steinman.
but he said he would not approve the bill
without further investigation. There was
a bill the preceding week, he said, of $50
for hauling drunks, and he had no doubt
it was the same lot of inebriates that were
given rides in the city's wagon last week.

Evidence of Work of Counterfeiters-

Yesterday morning gentleman living
at Sutterville, three miles down the river,
brought to town and gave TO Chief of Po-

solder and babbit metal and spurious
five-cent piece, which he thought were
belongings of counterfeiters.
A few weeks since the gentleman tore
down wall on his premises, which are
located near the schoolhouse. A few days
after that he was surprised to find a hole
six feet in depth sunk during the night
right by the wall. He paid no attention
to it at the time, but few days ago his
son got looking around and found the
articles given to Chief Rodgers. 1t is
