reply has,been received, but the prest-

he superintehdent and myself with
ference th3reto, with no satisfactory
fesults. 1t is very desirable that the
State should have this power for the
following purposes
LET. For power needed In the peni-
tcntiary; for running hosiery mill and
lighting purposes.
I'd. For lighting the State hospital
for the insane.
Sd. For lighting the State capitol
and grounds.
4th. For lighting the South Caro-.
9th: For lighting the executive
mansion.
The first point to be- ascertained is
whether the power at the disposal of
the State is sufficient for the above
purposes, and second, whether the use
of such power for these purposes will
pay the State. From Information
given me by experts, this power would
The ~penitentiary requires 25-horse
powder during the day, but this may
be reduced to 10-horse power after B
O'clock p. no. The hospital for the
insane uses about $50 i~ncandescent
lights, requiring about 40-horse power.
The capitol uses about 200 lights, re.
quiring about 20-horse power. The
South Carolina college would require
about 300 lights, and the executive
mansion uses lights that require from
1 to 2-horse power. One hundred
horse power would generally suffice
for the above and with q small supple
mental storage battery would be en-.
tirely sufficient. AS to whether the
State would be repaid by using this
power, the following statement will

Just as soon as this work is finished the
commissioners will have the work pro-
vided for on the Augusta road and Bay
street extension done. The city will prob
ably have the Bay street extensions paved

work and when the latter portion Of the
work is finished, which viii probably be
within the present year, the county will
have between four and five miles Of paw

Commissioner of Public Works Willink
is engaged in the work Of selecting a Wit
rifed brick for the paving of South Broad
and portions of Abercorn and Habersham
streets which has been decided upon by
the city council although the ordinances
have not been formally adopted.
Mr.. Wfllink spent portion of last week
in Jacksonville, inspecting the pavements
there. Jacksonville has been using Wit
rifed brick for three years and is wen
pleased with it. In fact, the people are
so well pleased that they are preparing to
use more of it. Two kinds of brick are
in use in Jacksonville, the Mack brick and
the Tennessee brick. The latter appears

ROBBED A TICKET OFFICE.
A Burglar Pockets $25 From the
Plant system.

The ticket office at the Plant system de-
not was entered about midnight night be-
fore last and robbed of $25 the amount of
change which had been left in the drawer
bv Ticket Agent Grower when he closed
ND for the night.
When Mr.. r. c. Blattner, the night
ticket agent, came down to the early
morning train he was unable to unlock
the office door. He finally discovered that
the office had been entered from the rear
and robbed, the thief having pried open
the drawer and taken the cash.
1t was sometime before Mr.. Blattner
discovered the robbery as the burglar had
taken the precaution to lock the door
from the inside. The night passengers
were compelled to go without tickets be-
cause the agent could not get into his
Office, the conductor being instructed to
take cash for the tickets on the train.
The robbery was a very bold piece of
work and is believed to have been COM
mitted by some one thoroughly familiar
with the surroundings and with the hours
of the agents and the policemen in that
Hceman on duty inside the shed as well as
a city policeman on duty on the street
outside.
The window through which the burg
lar made his entrance was in full view
from the street and there was an electric
light near by. The burglar evidently
chose his time when the policemen were
at a distance and everything was quiet
on the street. The robbery was not re-
ported at the police barracks, the railway
having its own police and detective force.
