TO MOVE THE TOLL GATE.
TEE CITY PAYS THE VERNON SHELL
ROAD COMPANY $4,000.

The Toll Gate to Be Moved Beyond
Twelfth street, and Bull street to Re
Opened TO That Poiut-COuncil's New
Commi5tees-The Drainage Of the
CentraTs Wharf Property Settled.
The city will have no more disputes with
the Vernon Shell Road Company about the
extension of Bull street or the removal OF
the toll gate Of that company beyond
Twelfth street. The city council, at its
special meeting yesterday afternoon, de-
cided to pay the Vernon company $1,000
for the REIMBURSEMENT OF its rights 70 the
road as far as Twelfth street.
It will be remembered that the city fought
the Vernon company in the courts, and in
the first trial, despite the charge Of the
court, secured a verdict ordering the toll
gate back and giving the city the right to
open Bull street through the road. Judge
Fallgant granted new trial and the second
jury found against the city. An appeal
was made to the supreme court and that
tribunal affirmed the Judgment against the
city.
THE SETTLEMENT.
The council next decided to leave the
matter to the adjudication OF a committee
Of freeholders consisting of Mr.. J. d. Weed,
Capt. John Flannery Mr.. J. j. Dale, Mr..
E. A. Well and S. krouskotf, and yester-
day the following report was submitted to
the board:
STATE OF GEORGIA,
COUNTY OF CHATBAM.
To the Mayor and Aldermen Of the City Of
SdVdnndh:
The undersigned, freeholders and assessors.
appointed under resolution Of your council
adopted at its meeting of June IS, 1899, TO
assess the damages which, in ouE opinion, will
be sustained by the Vernon Shell Road Com
pany by reason of the taking and occupying by
the city of Savannah Of so much Of the White
Bluff road as is in the present corporate limits
Of the city of Savannah, and the removal of the
toll house and fences within the city limits, beg
leave TO report as follows:
For the discontinuance of the toll road In the
corporate limits Of the city of Savannah; that
Is 70 say, north OF the southern line of Twelfth
street, the taking possession of the same by the
city Of Savannah for use as free public thor
oughfare, the termination Of all rights Of the
Vernon Shell Road Company with reference TO
the said portion OF the White Bluff road, and
for the removal south of said street by the said
company of its toll house and of all of its fences
now north Of the said street, we award, in full
payment of these and all other damages con
nected with this proceeding, the sum of five
thousand %. 900 dollars.
In making this award, we have proceeded I'M
der the opinion that the Vernon Shell Road
Company did not own the roadDed within the
city limits absolutely, so as to be authorized to
sell It for building or other purposes, to dis
pose Of It as the company might see fit, but
that 1t owned this portion Of the road as shell
road, with the right in said company to hold pos
session OF the same perDetually and TO use il
perpetually Rs a toll road under its charter,
with all the rights and duties incident to such
use and ownership.

would not be surprising If this reduction
should be followed by some sensational dis
closures.
There is no doubt that the talk which has
been going on in town for some time past
regarding the amounts certain people have
been receiving from the government in the
form of pensions for apparently no reason has
at last reached the ears of the governmen t
and if the inspector who has been here heard
and substant,ated one.half of the reports
there will be some queer house and record
cleaning The gentleman who gives the in
formation of the inspectors visit here says
there will be.
If our informant is correct the inspector
has learned that several people are receiving
pensions of from So to $12 per month for in
juries or nfrmities contracted long after the
war ceased; and that hale and hearty men
who make good wages and scarcely complain
of sickness are getting the cream under the
new law, while the most deserving, from
pecuniary standpoint as well as on account of
injuries sustained in the war, get only from
81 to 81 under the old law.
There is one case, it is said, in town where
a soldier who served in three different reg
ments during the war, who suffered from
typhoid fever in his first term and returned
home broken in health; was wounded at An
tietam during his second enlistment; was
taken prisoner; served nine months in that
Southern hell-hOle-Andersonville; became
mere skeleton and completely broken down
in health-and is now getting only So per
month, while big, hearty man with no other
ailment than slight Deafness is drawing the
monthly competence of $12.
1t is said that the first notification the un.
worthy parties will receive will be the return
of their vouchers unpaid.
1t is hoped the inspector has done his work
well and that if any discrimination is made
it will be in favor of those who served and
suffered.
The Pension Bureau has notified great
many pensioners throughout the entire coun-
try, who are drawing pensions under the De-
peadent Pension act that payment of their
pensions will be suspended for sixty days,
during which time they are required to show
cause why they should continue to draw PEN
siOns. The testimony necessary to prevent
their being dropped from the rolls is the GER
tifcate of a reputable physician, attested by
two witnesses to the effect that the pensioner
is totally precluded from active labor owing
to injuries or disability not the result of his
own vicious habits.
In case no attention is paid to the depart
ment notification within sixty days, the
pensiOner will be dropped from the rolls. On
the other hand, should the necessary certifi-
cate, properly drawn up and signed, be
forwarded to the bureau, the pensioner will
be requested to appear before the local board
of medical examiners for examination as to
his condition.
1t is estimated at the pension office,
although the work has but recently been
begun, that something over 1000 suspensions
have already been made.

louisville SHOPS.


Copside able I'm as,ness Felt by Their
Partial closing.
The statement is made that the Phiadel-
phia and aiding machine shops, located at
Pottsville, have been partially closed, with
likelihood of further suspension for an in.
definite period. This will certainly create a
feeling of distrust in business circles not only
out the state. 1t is well-known fact that
these shops are the principal support of that
town, and when their doors are closed busi-
ness is at standstill.
1t is hoped the suspension is only for a
limited period, and that the business depend
ent upon the running of the shops will not
be materially affected.
The location of the shops at Pottsville, was
for the purpose of centralizing the repair
work necessary at the collieries controlled by
the Coal aud Iron Company. Previous to that
time most of this class of work was done at
the collieries and at the different private
shops located throughout the region.
A prominent mining official informed q
representative of the HERALD to-day that
the Pottsville shops were never selr-sustain-
ing, and that the wisdom of their location
has always been questionable. What Potts
vile gained by the Reading officials favorit.
ism, the rest of the county suffered
proportionaUely. The closing of the shops
for the purpose of abandoning them entirely
it is believed, would be good business stroke
on the part of the Reading management. In
the first place, the shops are run at loss, as
the officials of that company are well aware
Then, again, the collieries throughout the
county suffer great inconvenience by being
compelled, on different occasions, to shut
down for the want of broken portions OF
machinery. If the work was not centralized
and each colliery had its own repair shop, the
damage could be rcmedied in few hours and
the company not put to the great expense OF
closing its works because the Pottsvlle shops
happen to be overrun with work.
1t is acknowledged by all who are at all
versed in such matters, that work can be
done much cheaper under the only plan thai
is now turned out by the Pottsvile works
1t would also revive trade considerably Il
have the repair work done at the different
cOllieries and ma hine shops throughout the
county. Every portion of the county would
share equally, and do away with centraliza
tion and favoritism.
The business interests of Pottsville would
undoubtedly suffer from such an arrange
ment, but that town has advanced at tn,
expense of other portions of the county fol
so long, that they could hardly kick at the
change. 1t is reported and from retty goot
source, that the Reading officials seriously
contemplate such plan, and the abandon
ment of the Pottsyille shops.
