PUTTING IN NEW HYDRANTs.
New Machine Used for Doing the
Work.

Supt. H. NJ. Lotion of the water works
has begun the work of putting in the
new fire hydrants in the fire district
These are large hydrants and give a full
Az inch opening to the engines instead
of the old 2i2 inch opening, thereby great
ly facilitating the suction of water from
the main and enabling the full pressure
to be used.
Eleven of these new hydrants have
been put in the business section of the
city, and twelve more will go in before
Jan. l. 1t is expected eventually to re-
place all the, old and small-sized hy-
drants with the new ones.
The first of these hydrants to be put in
with the Smith Tapping machine was
placed at Whitaker and Congress street
the main being done under the superin-
tendence of Capt Charles Lynch of De-
troit, representing the manufacturers of
the machine. The sleeve and gate were
put around the big main and a six
inch cut was made In the pipe in just
nine minutes. ANOTHER tap was made at
Whitaker and Broughton street lane
for another of the large MIGRANTS in just
seven minutes. This is the quickest work
in tapping mains that has ever been done
in Savannah, and the economy of time
alone will be a large saving of expense
The beauty of this machine is that The
water mains can be tapped al any time
and any place without shutting off the
water. The boring part of the machine is
inserted through the gate and the ma
chine is bolted to it until the tap is made,
when the piece cut out is withdrawn and
the gate closed. In putting in these new
hydrants the only time it will be ncces-
sary to shut off the water is when al cid
hydrant has to be removed. In places,
however, where none of the old bydrants
are to be taken out, the water will run on
as usual while the new MIGRANTS are be-
ing put in.
This machine Will be used hereafter for
all taps of mains for fire purposes, as well
as for running branch maines through
lanes or on sides streets. The machine
cost the city 800, which includes the per-
petual and exclusive right to use it here.
The decrease expense in the worK 10
be done will undoubtedly pay for the
purchase within short time. The Dieces
taken from the Whitaker street ,n.liu
show it to be in a first-class condition.
in spite of the fact that it is the olde ST
in the city The new MIGRANTS VIII af-
ford considerable additional projection
in the business portion of the city, as the
full water pressure can be secured, and
the work of the engines will be .rcatlv
facilitated by the larger aperture

WILL HAVE TO FIGURE CLOSE.
ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS WANT
LARGER APPROPRIATIONS.

The city Council TO Take I'D the
Budget Next Week-The Police De-
partment Asks for Thirty More
Men-The Fire and street Depart
ments Both Ask for More Money,
and the Water Department VIII
Have 10 BE Provided For.
The committee of the whole Of council
will meet Monday night to take up con-
sideration Of the budget for the next year.
1t will take several meetings Of the coun-
mittee TO get the budget ia shape and it
is likely that 1t will be well on toward
the close Of December before it is am
nounced.
The council viii have no easy jok. There
Is demand for increased expenditures
IN every direction. with no prospect Of
any material increase in revenue. Nearly
all the departments have submitted estl-
mates for their expenditures next year,
ana, as usual, each department demands
an Increase in its appropriation.
The police department wants thirty more
men TO ena ble IL 10 extend the district sys-
TEN over the southern section Of the city.
II also wants an appropriation for i'm
proVements at headquarters. The fire de-
partment will ask for increased facilities
ana Tor new buildings. The street and
lane department will recommend that a
large amount OF paving be done, includ-
ing south Broad street and probably the
street intersection between Whitaker and
Drayton and Broughton and CASTOR also
II Will be necessary to make heavy APP
Precipitation for street opening in the
southern section Of the city. The last
of the notes for the new water works
will also fall due next year and must
be provided for. There will also be an
increase in the salary list on account of
the salaries for tax assessors and the pub
lie works commi ssioner.
Mayor Myers said yesterday that the
aldermen Will have to do some close fig-
uring to provide for all the needed es-
penditures and keep within the prospective
revenue Of the city
Il do not think there will be any de-
crease in the revenue" he said, but at
the same time l do not expect any large
increase. The returns of real estate prop
erty Will not vary very much from this
years. There will probably be some in
crease in the returns of personal prop
erty, due to the efforts of the tax asses
sors The tax ordinance will probably be
revised, too with a view to increasing the
revenue from licenses and other special
taxes
Mayor Myers said that the budget will
hardly be ready to announce at the next
regular meeting of council. which falls on
Dec. Is.
THE tax assessors and the commission
ers viii not be appointed until late in
December he said. "All of the commits
we cannot act under them after they be-
come laws until we receive certified COP
les of the acts. The act for the election
of city court officers Is the only one Of
the local laws of which a certified COPY
has been received so far"

The Negro Thompson an All Around
Crook.


Crook.
Officer Godbold, who had such a lively
time with the negro James Thompson,
whom he arrested for cheating and swim
ding Tuesday night, has found that the
negro was, as he suspected. an all around
crook.

and Price streets, a book dropped from
Thompson's pocket, which he called to a
woman who had come out of the lane. 10

to go back and find out something about
the book He obtained it from the woman
without trouble and found it to be bank
book, showing the account of Paul Fur
Der with one of the city banks.
Furber is an old blacksmit living on
Cemetery street. Godbold went out to see
him and found that his house was robbed
by a man answering the description of
Der said the man came to his house dur
ing the day and introduced himself as
a root doctor, and in this way gained ad-
mission. That night he worked late at
his shop, and his wife went to the shop TO
keep him company, leaving the house va
cant. When they returned they found
that it had been robbed. Among other
things missing was this bank book. Fur

Thompson also admitted to Officer God
bold that he was known in Brunswick as
Lymus Williams. He came to Savannah
from Brunswick. He has Travelled under
several aliases, and IL is thought very
likely that he is wanted for serious crimes
in Brunswick or elsewhere, and that this
was the reason he made such a desperate
resistance.
