probably be completed within ten days.
AS soon as trains can run over the bridge
another dirt train will be put to work

road.
The working forces are divided into
three gangs one working from the city on
the mainland. one on McQueen's Island,
and one Tybee Island. The first force

that the census of the colored country

tendance
The superintendent stated that the ex-
amlnatlons will take place this month
and the public exhibition will be on
Wednesday, April 25.
The committee to visit the schools re-
ported that all the schools had been Wis
tied except the Massie school and the
colored schools. All the schools were well
attended and under good discipline. The
attention of the board was called to the
necessity of something being done at the
Henry Street school, to remedy the diff
Guilty in teaching in the large hall, which
is now divided by curtains into four class
rooms.
The following gentlemen were APP
pointed the visiting committee for the

Donougn, O'Bryne, Charlton, Tattnall
and Myers
Mr.. O'Bryne, from the special commit
tee on sites for new schools, returned a
report. Quite number of sites were
offered to the committee, and the COM
mittee recommended that two lots be
purchased, one in the southeastern and
one in the southwestern section of the
city.
On motion of Capt Blum the report of
the committee was received, and the
president was requested to lay it before
the grand jury with the request for an
appropriation to carry out the recommen-
dalton.
On motion of Mr.. OByrne the COM
mittee on finance was requested to inves-
tlgate and report at the next meeting of
