The committee on ways and means re-
ported as follows:
Your committee on ways and means
beg to report that, in its judgment, 1t will
be impossible to collect, through public
subscriptions, a fund adequate to defray
the expense of the work in hand. Under
the circumstances. your committee sug-
gests that some plan be formulated by
which the city government shall defray
the necessary expenses.
The report was received as informa-
ton.
Col. Garrard moved that a committee of
three on roads. drainage and agriculture
be appointed by the chairman.
The mayor appointed NJ. J. Solomons,
Jacob Paulsen, w. w. Chisholm.
1t was suggested by Col. Garrard that
the chairman of the committees on fac
tories, Industries and employment loca-
ton and reception. and roads. drainage
and agriculture. confer with the chairman
on statistics and make such suggestions
or amendments as would be appropriate
to be embraced in a pamphlet in course
of preparation by the chairman on statis-
tics.
Mr.. Baldwin, chairman of the committee
on factories, industries and employments,
moved that the committee on law take
such steps as it may deem necessary
in order to have the laws of Georgia so
changed as to premit cities to tax per
sonal property as may be desired, and
to make determinations with factories,
manufacturing industries etc. so as to
enable them to exempt such industries
from taxation.
Mr.. Baldwin also moved that the COM
mittee on statistics be authorized after
comforting with the chairman of the
committees as suggested by Col. Garrard,
to have a sufficient number of pamphlets
printed.
Mr.. Haas moved that the city be asked
for an appropriation of $500 to defray
the necessary expenses incident to carry
ing on the work Of the Industrial commit
tee.

cussing the various subjects which came

How are you to receive them? Look
closely into this, it is important. Are
they to remain with the company for a

The act just passed makes it punisha-

hearing what both sides had to say about
It, Judge Falligant said he would consider
the matter.
Before he reached any conclusion, how
ever, the jury came down and asked to be
re-charged on questions as to the COM
pany's right to deal with Maj. Hartrldge
without any existing agreement between
himself and the nonresident trustees.
Judge Falligant told them that as Maj.
Hartridge had been acting in the capacity
Of trustee or executor alone in this coun-
try. the company had the right to pre-
sumo that he had authority to do so.
Without any agreement In writing, your

more changes this year, Publisher sholes
says. than he has ever known in his ex-

Introductory 70 his new work, Mr.. sholes
says.
The growth has been slight yet there
has been an advance. as the following hg-
ures show:
The Directory for 1898 contained p 81
names. i2.9Ji white and sSZ colored. This
issue contains 21.42O names. 1917 white
s2l3 colored.
The canvass for the Directory embraces
territory south, east and west Of the city
limits, which contains about 600 inhablt-
ants, and within this entire territory was
found this year a population Of $3.50, or
which 1865 are white and 1851 cOlored
The population inside Of the corporate line

1t is 10 be hoped that this may be the
last occasion for crying against the pres
ent villainOus condition as regards num-
bers and names of streets. The entire
business community and every stranger
who has ever tried TO find any one in Sa-
vannah has sounded a protest for years
against II, and with unanimous consent
confirmed the verdict that Savannah is
the worst numbered city in America" II
not the civilized world The original or.
dinance which established the foundation
Of the present System" Of numbering
was passed nearly sixty years ago, when
the boundaries of the city were East

since then the old System has been
patched and worked on and filled IN until
