GROuND-RENTERs WILL PAY UP.
The City's Proposition Expected to
Bring in 100000.

The city's proposition TO the ground rent
lot owners 20 give a % per cent. reduction
10 all those who will come forward and
make their lots fee simple by paying the
amount due, less the reduction granted, Is
likely to bring a considerable amount of
money into the city treasury.
The money derived from this source, as
stated in the resolution adopted by coun-
ell, is to be used in opening up the streets
leading to the property east Of the Savan-
nah. Florida and Western railway and
bringing it under taxation. BY the act of
1854, Incorporating this section in the city,
it was not to be subject to taxation until
the plan of the city had been extended
over Il.
City Treasurer Hardee is Of the opinion
that the citys proposition will bring into
the treasury in the neighborhood of $780,
600. There is now just about $4,000 due
on the ground rent lots, the total amount
having originally been about $4,000 Dur
ing the last fifteen years the treasury has
received about $4,000 from this
source During 1890 and 1891 the
city made an offer of a 30 per cent.
reduction to all ground rent
lot owners, who would make their lots fee
simple and this offer was accepted to the
extent of bringing in $l12.5OO The money
was wanted for the building of the new
water works. The reduction offered was
later reduced to Is per cent, and later to
10 per cent, and afterwards Withdrawn
altogether. 1t has been customary, how
ever TO grant a 10 per cent. reduction to
ground rent lot owners desiring 40 make
their lots fee simple.
The amounts due on the ground rent
lots bear different rates of interest 5. 6
and per cent, the average being 6 per
cent.
The opportunity to pay up a debt bear
ing s per cent. interest at a discount of
. per cent. is something that is not Of
fered every day. and is more likely to be
accepted now than when money was in
more active demand.
Maj. Hardee was asked if it would not
be bad business for the city to give %
per cent reduction upon good debts bear
ing an average interest of per cent. He
replied that on the contrary if the money
secured in this manner should be used as
intended it would probably bring under
taxation property which would return the
city in taxes fully twice as much as the
amount lost In interest.
Alderman Charlton, chairman of the
street opening committee, says that if
council viii give him the money he will
soon have the Collinsville section open and
more streets beside, including the princi-
pal streets in the section south of Ander-
son street. The street opening appropria-
ton this year is $4,000, but as nearly $50, -
900 of this amount will be required TO pay
notes falling due, there is not very much
money left for cash purposes.
one ground rent lot owner gave notice
at the city treasurer's office yesterday of
his intention to apply to have the title to
his lot made fee simple under the PROPOSE
tion of council.

Not Know of Any Request for

has been postponed for one week. and in

fore stated. Viii begin Wednesday. Jan. L.
This announcement Was made in a spec
ial dispatch TO the Morning News from
Washington last night which stated that
the postponement was by order OF the
President. The reason for the postpone
meut, however. was not given.
Capt CaTter's attorneys. Messrs. Charl-
ton. Mackau & Anderson, We're asked
about the matter and replied that though
they had heard OF such a postponement
they knew nothing whatever about il.
1T was" Capt Mackan said without
our knowledge, desire or consent. We are

whatever OF the reasons for the postpone
ment"
Capt. c. L. Gillette was told about the
matter and said he had heard that it had
been postponed for a week. When asked
il he knew the reason for the postpone
ment he replied that such trials were
somtimes postponed at the request of some
member of the court, who might be de-
layed either through sickness or some
other cause.
When asked if there had been any re-
quest from Col. Clous or the prosecution
for a postponement in order to secure fur
Their time for going over the records, he
said he did not know such to be the case,
as he had heard nothing Of IL.
Ii was impossible. therefore, to learn last
night why the court-martial has been post
poned The trial being considered one OF
some moment, and there being consider
able work connected with it in one way
and another, It is easily possible that
reasons for postponement might arise.
The members of the court therefore, win
not be in Savannah on Tuesday, as was eX-
pected, but will probably come on Jan. II.
The postponement of the trial will be
surprise 10 many, VINO nave D6en expecting
that il would begin next week, and who
have been discussing the prospects in con-
nection with ii for some time past.
The sessions of a court-martial, 1t may
be interesting to know, must be between
8 o'clock in the morning and o'clock in
the afternoon. 1t cannot begin before the
former hour in the morning, nor can it sit
later than the latter hour in the afternoon.
The court can, however begin its work
il is hardly likely that the court i'm this
instance, would care to get 20 work at
such an early hour. 1t was the opinion of
Col. Clous that the sessions of the court
here would be between 10 o'clock in the
morning and o'clock in the afternoon.

A CYCLE BOARD OF TRADE.
The Dealers and Repair Men to Or
Eanize for Cycle interests.

The Dealers and Repair Men to Or
ganize for Cycle Interests.
The bicycle dealers and repair men of
the city held meeting at the De Soto
hotel last night for the purpose of forming
an association for the interests of the
trade generally. There were eleven Of the
seventeen dealers and repair men present,
or represented at the meeting. Mr. w. J..
Lindsay was made temporary chairman.
and Mr.. II. S. Oppenheime temporary
secretary.
The purposes of such an association were
discussed in all their details, and it was
finally decided to organize the Savannah
Cycle Board of Trade. Committees were
appointed to prepare a constitution and
bylaws, and they will report to a meet
ing to be held next Tuesday night for the
purpose of permanent organization.
The association has for it's objects. said
one of the gentlemen present. the promo
ton of the interests of the cycle trade
generally, including the dealers. the retail
men, the repair men and the buyers. The
idea, he said, is not to form a trust or
Il combination for the purpose Of putting
up prices, as nothing of the kind is con-
templated. But ii is the desire of all the
bicycle men, he stated to equalize the
prices both on wheels and for repair work.
The arrangement Of a scale of prices win
be one of the principal objects of the as
ISOLATION. and that will be the first sub
ject taken up. II is the desire to brins
ali those in the trade together harmoni-
ously, and to equalize the cycle trade in an
its branches. It is said that every dealer
and repairer in the city will go into the
organization.

The ordinance for the Improvement of
Bull street will be brought up again at the

The ordinance secured majority of the
votes at the meeting of council Wednes-
day night but failed to secure the requi-
site nine votes. This failure was not be-
cause of opposition to the improvements
Of the street, but because of a difference
of opinion as to whether the work should
be done by contract or by the public
works commissioner.
