TO URGE MORE IMPROVEMENTS.
A Meeting of Property Owners East
of the s., +. and w. Called.

"A meeting Of the property holders east
of the Savannah. Florida and Western
railway and those otherwise interested in
that section, has been called at the bank
Ing house of Hull & Lathrop Tuesday night
at $3.50 O'Clock. The objects of the meet
Ing as stated I'm the call, are, first, Ito
consider various questions affecting the
rights and interests of property and the
owners thereof in the eastern part of the
city, such as (a) the closing of the Bilbo
canal, tb) the paving Of Waters avenue to
Estill avenue and thence to Bull street, (c)
the opening of streets across the SaVan-
nah, Florida and Western railway"
1t is proposed to perfect an organization
to further these objects and such Others
as may from time to time affect the rights
ana interests OF the property holders east
of the railway.
The call is signed by the following gem
Yemen; jacob Pdulsen, j. c. Rowland
J. X. Anderson, II. II. Hull w. j. Lindsay
ID. g. Purse, j. IL. Estill, G. n. Dorsett
The meeting will discuss the objects sta
ted above. The property owners east of
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way were in hopes that the present ad-
minlsration would close Bilbo canal and
10 away with that nuisance. They feel
now that the city has grown lulSewarm on
That subject and that the project for a
mousse drainage outlet is tagging. Some
of the property owners in that section are
not satisfied with the city's recent deal to
open certain streets across the railway and
they viii discuss the question of securing
the opening of several streets which were
| left unopened by the deal. They also
want to press the matter of opening the
streets cas- tWard which were opened across
the railway by this deal.
The property owners think, too. that
while the city is making improvements
elsewhere IL should make some in that
section. The county commissioners, it is
understood are wiling to pave Estill ave-
nue. and Waters road provided It be shown
that these roads are not in the city limits.
and that the city will take up these inn
| provements and continue them into the
! city by the Improvement of Anderson and
/ other streets. The city will also be urged
/ to improve the streets east of the railway
| by grading some and paving others.

interfered with a steady business session.
The members Of the supreme council
spent the day almost in session, and some
important matters were attended TO- In
the afternoon. however, all Of the ladies'
and many Of the gentlemen went on the
trip to Thunderbolt and Isle OF Hope.
Cars were in waiting at the De Soto at
$50 o'clock, and a party Of about 100 made
the trip, which was a most enjoyable
one. They returned TO the city late in
the evening.
While the business sessions of the su-
preme council lasted practically all day
very little OF interest to the general pub
lie was done. Perhaps the most impor-
tant feature was the adoption of an
appointment TO the constitution of the
order permitting the supreme regent to
grant dispensations for the admission Of
members at special meetings of councils
when such councils are weak in num-
bers, and need building up.

The summer trade is a peculiar and par
ucular one, especially in the line where
families are to be supplied with fresh

that their stocks are kept well iced this
warm weather. 1t isn't every one who is

beef, mutton and poultry and keen il in
perfect condition. II. Logan does. His
modern refrigerators are the finest to be
had. Every particle of food placed in
them is kept as fresh as if it were in the
middle of January.
Then, again, orders left with Logan, or
given to his men on the wagons. are
promptly filled at any hour designated
by the purchaser Sunday orders are de-
livered early in the morning, and the
fact that parties can order their Sundays
supplies on Saturday, and have the same
placed in Logan's refrigerators to be de-
livered Sunday morning, is appreciated
by his many customers-ad.
