ton Untn After the Appeal.


The opinion of the Commis sio n ers
that the case brought before the court OF
appeals by the United States Electric
Light Company, will be heard early next
week. and. until action is had there, the
board will take no action whatever, to-
wards closing the contract for street light
ing with the = otomac Electric Power Com
pany.
This Information was officially commu-
mcated today to Col. John NJ. Wilson,
superintendent OF public buildings and
grounds. who inquired as to the status Of
the case.
The Commissioners are still OF the opin-
ion that Judge Coles decision was Il con-
clusion of the controversy, and that their
action in advertising for bids and in award
ing a contract having been once sust tanned
will receive the sanction of the higher
court, but they say, in effect, in their
letter to Col. Wilson that they have no
disposition to take advantage of the Sit
uation.

of traders who made any pretense OF doing
business were the scalpers and they Were
not willing to take very long risks. An

to weak Liverpool cables and to heavy

The sewage outlet plan.

Savannah, June u-Edltor Morning
News: l notice in an editorial in to-day
issue of your paper you advocate that
an expert sanitary engineers opinion be
taken before the house drainage com
mission adopt any plan for sewer out
let Don't you think, in the light Of
past experience, that this would be a
useless expenditures
In 1885 Col. George z. Waring, cOnsid-
cred by many the best sanitary engineer
in America. was called in as an expert.
He then suggested to carry the sewage
away from the Savannah river, as the
city was dependant on that source for
its water supply. After the new water
works were completed he addressed a
letter to the press stating, now the city
no longer took its water supply from the
river, that the Savannah river was the
proper place to discharge the sewage of
the city. He also stated there could be
no danger in even having the outlets OPP
posite the city. CThere are several there
already, from which we hear no com
The advice of this expert, who now
stands committed to the Savannah river
outlet, cost the city S979.5l.
In 1899 the city called in Rudolph Herring,
considered by the opponents OF Waring as
the leading sanitary engineer. He une-
quvocally condemned the Wilmington
river as an outlet and suggested going
into the Savannah river below the Bilbo
canal, as the city was sim using part
river water. This expert testimony cost
the city $500
In 1885 Messrs. sugden & Kollock were
asked to report on an outlet. They advo-
Gated discharging into the Savannah river
at the mouth Of Bilbo canal. The city
paid $3.50 for this report Apart from these
the city engineer has at different times
advocated various other plans the cost to
the city of work on same cannot be estt-
mated.
We should not lose sight of the fact that
IL is not the Bilbo canal flowing into the
Savannah river that is complained of as a
nuisance, but the carrying of the sewage
through an open canal to the river.
There is not and never has been a word
of complaint against the present outlet,
the whole trouble is in the method OF
reaching 1t.
l think Mr.. Editor we have had enough
expert testimony on this case and what we
need now is for the house drainage com
mission to use a combination of good tudg-
ment and common sense in analyzing the
experts yoluminous reports they already
have. and net defer the matter again in
definitely by calling In another expert.
