MR. EVANS VIEWS NOT ADOPTED.
On the r. commentator OF the build
IN. C ommittee, the board decided To
advertise for bids for the hating and
y4ntilating of the new No. 10 school on
R ,becca avenue. The contract for
1000 cnool desks was divided between
| he United States Scnool Furniture
company and the Handy School Furni-
,ure company, OF Grand Rapids, Mich.
Another building committee recom-
mendation that was adopted was that
twenty-f five feet of land adjoining No.
| 10 plot De purchased from William
SAINT for $1,000. Mr., Evans strenu-
ously objected TO buying the land or
having No. 10 erected on R9becca ave
nue.. He favored the purchase
Of the three lots on the corner
of Lafayette and Everett which
he said could be secured for a little
more than half what was asked for the
twenty-five additional feet on Rebecca
avenue. Only three members coincided
with his views and the committees
recommendation was adopted.
A communication was received from
the boards attorney, Hon. II. A. Knapp,
suggesting that the best way TO fortify
the board against losses by fire when
building is under course Of construC
tion, WAS to insure tue building for the
amount OF each payment as it was
made to the contractor The COM
municaton was favorably received and
ordered filed
Mr.. Williams, for the fnance COM
mittee, reported in favor of granting
but 5000 93 of the $317 81 called for in
the exoneration list of NJ J. Gerrity,
collector of delinquent taxes in the
Second ward for the year 1899. The
discrepancy Of $lS Of, Mr.. Williams
stated, was the amount Of taxes Of two
parties who had paid the city treas
urer lie neglected to credit them and
as a consequence, he believed. the city
treasurer should be compelled to pay
the money, tog9ther with the penalty.
TO the collector Mr.. William, also
reported that the general school ac-
count was overdrawn and recon-
mended that transfer OF $25, 600 from
the sinking fund be made. The com
mitteo's reports were approved Of
Mr. Jacobs, for the supply commit
tee, recommended that bids for the
years supplies be advertised for. The
recommendation was adopted.

amined by the mem GERS, who looked d

speedily changes; the sap decays, and the
heart already impregnated with resinous
Juice, becomes to such an extent as to
double its weight in year; the accumu-
lation is said to be much greater after
four or five years. This general fact may
be proved by comparing woods of trees
recently felled, and of others long since
dead. To produce tar kiln is formed in
part of the forest Astounding in dead
wood. This is collected, stripped of the
sap, and cut into billets two or three feet
long and about three inches thick-a
task rendered long and difficult by knobs.
The next step is to prepare place for
piling it.
For this purpose circular mound is
raised, slightly declining from the circum-
ence to the CENTER and surrounded with
a shallow ditch. The diameter of the
pile is proportional to the quantity of
wood it is to receive-to obtain 100 bar
rels of tar it should be eighteen or twenty
feet wide. In the middle is hole with
conduct leading to ditch, in which Is
formed receptacle for the tar as it flows
out.
Upon the surface of the mound. beaten
hard and coated with clay, the wood is
laid in circle The pile, when finished,
may be compared to a cone truncated at
two thirds of it's hight and reversed, be-
ing twenty feet in diameter below, TWEEN
ty-hVe feet above, and ten or twelve feet
high.
COVERED WITH LEAVES.
A layer of pine leaves is then placed
over the wood, and this is then covered
with earth, and contained at the sides
with a slight cinture of wood. This COW
ering is necessary in order that the fire
kindled at the top may penetrate to the
bottom with a slow and gradual combus-
ton. If the whole mass were rapidly in
famed, the operation would fail, and the
labor in part be lost. A kiln to afford
from 100 to 1870 barrels of tar is eight or
nine days burning; as the tar flows of
into the ditch it is dipped into barrels
made of the same species of wood.
AS the mode of manufacturing spirits
of turpentine and rosin is so little known
among those not practically interested in
the trade, it would be an idea for the
board of trade to get up a miniature exhi-
bition Of the various processes employed
in the manufacture of naval stores at the
rooms. There are frequently visitors
from the north, who are introduced on
the floor of the board Of trade, to whom
an exhibition of this kind would be inter
esting. There are thousands OF people
who are ignorant of the modus operandi
of the manufacture of these important
items Of Savannah's commerce.
