PLUMBERS WANT AN INSPECTOR.
They Present Their Case Before the
Chairman. of the Health Committee.

They Present Their Case Before the
There was an interesting meeting at the
city exchange last night. Eighteen of the
twenty-five plumbers of the city were
present. DR.. w. w. Owens, chairman of
the public health committee of council
was the only. representative of the city at
the meeting.
Understanding that the plumbers wished
to lay certain matters affecting them and
the public before council, DIR. Owens ex-
tended them an invitation to meet him.
The attendance shows the interest which
the plumbers feel in the matter under
consideration. They want a plumbing in
spector appointed and an ordinance pass
ed prescribing the duties~of the inspector
and defining his authority
The plumbers do not ask for the appoint
ment of an inspector solely in their own
interest. They desire an ordinance franz
ed prescribing the kind and character of
plumbing which shall be used in the city
and they desire the inspector to be clothed
with full authority to inspect all plumbing
work and to require plumbers to conform
to the requirements of rne ordinance.
The plumbers who were moving in the
matter realized that to get an inspector
it would be necessary for council to make
provision for this new expense in making
up the budget for next year. 1t was the
deSirabiHty of making such a provision
which they specially pressed upon Dr.
Owens. The matter was fully discussed
The conclusion was that DR.. Owens re-
quested the plumbers TO draft an ordi-
nance setting forth their views in the
matter, which will be considered by the
public health committee, and, in all prob
nh mill 1ofo l,
Action was taken a once, and the follow
ing committee was appointed to prepare
the ordinance: w. II. Welsh L. A. Nc
Carthy, Il. j. O'Brien, A A. LINER and
P. E. Masters. The committee will act
at once and will report to the public
health committee Monday night.
Several of the plumbers who attended
the meeting We're seen by aaMorning News
reporter. One of them said!D'It IS as much
to the interest of the public as 1t is to that
of the plumbers that the city should have
a plumbing Inspector with duties well de-
fined by ordinance. A great deal of door
plumbing work is done in Savannah. and
the plumbing trade gets the blame for It.
Men knowing little or nothing about the
business start a shop, take work at anv
price they can get, and of course do poor
work. The people who suffer on account
of this work lay the blame on the plumb
ers generally. At present anybody can
take out plumbers license. It is obvious
ly for the protection of the public that
good plumbing should be required.
The plumbers have made repeated eff
forts during the last four years to get an
inspector appointed, but have never been
successful. They have hopes of meeting
with more consideration this time. In
view of the fact that the
new house drainage system will entail a
very large amount of plumbing work i'm the
way of closets and fixtures required in
making house connections an INSPECTOR
would appear to be much needed official.

A CLAIM ron $4,000.
Southern Banks suit Against the
Mercantile Trust Co.

There will be a hearing the latter part
of the week before Mr.. H. +. Wilson as
commissioner of considerable interest in
this section as a relic OF the reorganiza-
ton of the Central Railroad ana Banking
Company.
The hearing is the result of a suit in
stituted against the Mercantile Trust Com
pany Of New York, which was the depos-
tory for all the security holders of the
Central at the time they were deposited
under the reorganization plan. by the
Southern Bank OF the State of Georgia for
services rendered in gathering in the Sc
curities I'm this section.
IL will be remembered that the South
ern Bank represented the Mercantile Trust
company in the south ana received here
all classes of securities for deposit under
the reorganization plan. The work was
zone on TWO separate occasions and eX-
tended over several months. For its SER
Vices the Southern Bank put in a bill for
about $4,000, which is what 1t now claims,
The Mercantile Trust Company refused to
pay the claim, and 1t Is said wanted TO
settle with. the Southern Bank for some
thing like $500, which proposition was re-
fused.
The Southern Bank then instituted suit
ih Nit IulitQ states court IN new 1oih
against the Mercantile Trust Company for
the amount claimed and Mr.. Wilson has
been appointed commissioner to take testi-
mony in the case in Savannah. The Mer-
camille Trust Company will probably be
represented before Mr.. Wilson by Mr.. Hen
ry Crawford, the well-kuown lawyer, who
has played such a prominent part In tho
Central railroad litigation as attorney FOR
Messrs Thomas and Ryan, while the
Southern Bank will be represented by
Messrs. Mercer and Mercer
Just what may be developed i'm the tes-
timony 1T is difficult to say. 1t is we'll
known that there was considerable work
connected with the matter of receiving the
deposits of securities. issuing temporary
receipts for them, and afterward issuing
permanent receipts. The Southern Bank
had TO add somewhat to its Office force, or
two occasions, as deposits of certificates
were called for under two plans, iirst, the
Hollins plan, which failed, and afterward
under the plan which went through.
The dispute, it appears, is as to the value
of the services rendered The Mercantile
Trust Company claims that the amount
asked for is exorbitant, while the South.
ern Bank holds 1t is legitimately entitled
to it for those services which constituted
a responsible trust Perhaps with this eN,
ception ali the fees and emoluments arts
ing from the Central railroad litigation
have been settled. In most instances this
settlements were made outside of court
but in this and in one or two other cases
there was a dispute, and the court had &c
be called on to settle it.

BEFORE JUDGE NORWOOD.
A Suit to Recover Property Trans

ferred to Mr.. j. II. GuiImartin.
The suit of the Vaudeville Brick Com
pany against J. F. Guilmartin, r. B.
Floyd, j. B. Floyd and j. W. Conner was
taken up for trial before Judge Norwood
in the city court yesterday.
The suit is on bail in trover pro
ceeding to recover property sold by the
Hardeeyille Brick Company to Mr.. Gull
martin. Mr.. Guilmartin afterwards trans
ferred the same property to Messrs. Floyd
and Conner.
1t is charged in the petition that Mr..
Guilmartin was insolvent at the time he
purchased the property from the plaintiff,
and for that reason it is held that neither
the transfer to him nor the transfer to
Messrs. Floyd and Conner by him are valid.
The amount involved in the suit is about
$500. There are other suits of a similar
nature pending in which the amount in
volved altogether is in the nelghborhood of
$4,000. Mr.. Guilmartin was on the wit
ness stand most of the day yesterday. The
trial will be resumed to-day.
