THE COUNTY BUDGET READY.
1T WILL BE SUBMITTED To THE
GRAND JURY AT ONCE.

An Appropriation TO Continue Paw
ing the ROads-NOfhinR Put in for
the County Mnp-The Budget Less
by $4,000 Than for Last Year-A
Comparison of the Figures for
1895 and 1S9G-SOme Petitions for
Relief From Double Tax-Other
Matters Before the Board.
The budget committee Of the county
commissioners reported the budget for 1896
as prepared by them at yesterdays meet
ing of the board, and a resolution was
passed adopting the report and ordering it
sent to the grand jury for its considera-
ton.
The committee made some interesting
changes in the budget of expenses as COM
pared with the budget Of 1895 In the first
place the appropriation for roads and
bridges has been increased from $4,000 to
$4,000 for the purpose of continuing the
work Of paving the roads which has now
been going on for some months and with
what excellent results is well known.
The school appropriation has been de-
ceased by $4,000, the additional amount
having been given last year for the pur-
pose of building new school house. The
Georgia Infrmary has been given $500
more this year than last on account of the
fact that it has had financial reverses, and
has met with considerable difficulty in
meeting expenses. The increase in the
cost of implements is due to the recent
purchase of a steam roller for use in road
work.
As will be seen. no appropriation has
been made for county map work this year.
The question of the county map will be
considered at length by the grand jury.
but it is uncertain as yet, what that body
will do in the matter. The total budget is
about 1900 less than that for 1895, and it
will be seen that reductions have been
made in several items. The table here
with gives the budget as adopted by the
board yesterday for the year 1896, as COM
pared with the finally adopted budget of
l2Q5.

a DRAW AFTER ELEVEN ROUNDS.

The boxing contest before the Savan-
nah Athletic Club last night, between Den
ny Gallagher and Jack O'Connor was de-
cided draw at the end of The eleventh
round by Referee Wyness.
The match was supposed to have been
for fifteen rounds, and was scheduled to
be for a decision, but as the crowd did
not warrant 1t Referee Wyn sss Thought
that 1t had gone far enough when the
eleventh round had been finished and
gave his decision
There were probably $50 people pres
en-, not as many as the bout deserved.
Genial Jack Wyness officiated as referee
and Louis Muhlberg as time keeper.
There were two preliminary bouts he
tween local colored boxers, the first for
poth proved to be pretty hot stuff, and
seemed TO amuSe the crowd imgnenselv
-, I'D Norton and Larry Mcdonald put
the mits on for four rounds, an } the spec-
tators were treated to some scientific box
ing. The men are both pretty clever

10 the center, hardly a second passed he
mouth that laid him fiat on his hclclx E-,o,e

MAY DECIDE ON ASPHALT.
-he city Considering IL for south 4
Broad street.

Il is Doss bic that South Broad street
may be paw ed with asphalt after ali and
not vfirided brick as specified by the or
dinante recs ntly adopted by the city coun-
Gil
The War; en-Scharf Asphalt Company
which h. s done al the asphalt paving in
Savannah. with the exception Of Liberty
street. Ia : raade a very attractive propo-
sitlon TO the city. which Is now being
senting thss iFarren-Scharf Company ap-
peared befo re- the committee Of the whole
Of council D ASH night and laid the PROPOSE
tiOn Of the C onlpany before them, together
with some a. & unnents in behalf Of asphalt
paving as co tpared with vitrided brick.
II seems that the Warren-Scharf Com
pany. having harmed Of the city's inten-
ton 10 do a Lax &c amount OF paving with
vitriied brick, including South Broad
street decided Ia make an effort 10 secure
the work and va that ot8ect IN view in
structed its reps esentative TO make the
ci-y a proposition which would be worth
1-he last work d 1ne for the city by the
Wazren-Scharf Coz npany was at the rate
of 32-3J per square yard. II is willing 10
much less fg ure. The propo-
sitiOn by Mr.. Alexander Is said
TO have been at the rate of something
less than 8 per square yard. The esti-
South Ilroad street with vitri-
fed brick is based on a rate OF
the bids will be somewhat under this fig
ure. probably about sl.65 pei. square yarC.
This would make a difference Of 30 cents
per square yard between Gle two pave
rnents The aldermen are now consider
ing whether or not il yvOuhl be better to
incur the increased exp snst for the sake
of the better pavement
The proposition of the Warren-Scharf
Company is accompanied by such guar
antees as to durability of Ehe work, with
the agreement TO maintai n the pavement
for a certain number of years without
extra cost as 10 make the offer very at
tractive.
A proposition was also made by the
Warren-Scharf Company to remove the
present unsatisfactory shell and cnder
surface of the cobble stone pavement Oh
Drayton street and to lay a surface of as
phalt on the cobblestOnes. This propo-
sition will receive careful consul ton,
and II the cost is reasOnt lble may be
adopted.

WORK ON THE oGEECHEE ROAD.
The Grading and Hardening Being
Pushed RaDfdIy


The work of grading and hardening the
Ogeechee road is being pushed steadily
southwark. The hardening is completed
to a short distance beyond the five mile
post and the grading is done to the six
mile post. Just beyond the latter is the
great pond which in rainy seasons covered
the Ogeechee road for a half mile, some
times at depth that made it impossible.
When the road was planked forty years
ago, the water Of the pond was drained by
Owens plantation: This drain became
closed up during the war and the result
ted.
County Commissioner Chaplin in charge
OF the work, had a canal of LOO feet in
length dug so as to carry the water off into
a swamp to the south of the road having
an outlet in Salt Geek and the pond is
The pond was full of fish. young ALI
gators and frogs. A pike twelve Inches
long was tished out of one of the bitches,
ana good many 6rlm and perch were to
be had for the picking up.
The new steam goller recently pur-
chased by the county for use in surface
ing and packing the county roads ar
will be put out on the roads at once
1t will greatly facilitate the paving of the
roads. The cement gravel, which comes
from the mines on the Port Royal and
Augusta railroad, near Augusta, has been
tried, on the Ogeechee road to a small
extent, and is giving excellent satisfac-
tion. Chairman Chaplin of the roads and
bridges committee says it is far ahead of
ebert, and he thinks it will make as good
road as any other material, provided
it is as durable as is claimed He. saws
also that stone foundation with a CLAW
surface makes an excellent road. The diff
ferent materials have been put down on
the Ogeechee road as an experiment. and
the results will be awaited with a great
deal of interest, as that work probably
determines which material is to be used
on the other county roads.

to say anything about the race. or the can

over 5000 in excess of One-fourth of the

that Corbett will be accommodated with

wager of $40, 900 think can raise sos, 900

sort of way. 81 do not believe because
Corbett has secured such good financial
support that he will fight all the better.

head up in a proud manner when he
passed friend or foe, but guess he knows
that the purse he won by foul decision
belonged to me and that is why he
dropped his eyes when he passed.
well, this is not the first time have
had to put up with a wrong decision.
