no VOTE ON WATER WORKS.

AS will be seen by the published
proceedings of the last meeting Of the
common council, the question OF bond
ing the city to an amount not to exceed
5000, for the purpose of securing fire
protection for Mineral Point, is to be
submitted to vote Of the people. The
Democrat IL heartily in favor Of the
proposed plan, which was outlined in
these columns some weeks ago,
1t Is not proposed to give Mineral
Point an extensive system OF water
works for So 900, but il is believed that
the expenditure of about that amount
would secure plant which would
afford protection to property on High
street and about thousand feet on
either side, and Indirectly to other
property of the city. This plant can
be extended from time TO time, until II
perfect water works system Is secured
for the entire city.
The question Of securing fire pro-
lection confronted the members Of the
council, aud we believe that they have
met 1t in the best possible way. 1t
would have been worse than folly to
have set the question aside.
Mineral Point cannot afford to be
any longer without protection against
fires. No argument IL needed to sup
port this assertion. There was nrgu-
ment enough for fire protection on the
morning Of May I, in the Smouldcring
ruins Of the block Of burned store
buildings. This fire could at least
have been confined to narrow limits
had there been such II system of water
works NJ that contemplated,
The Democrat believes that the pco-
pie of Mineral Point viii vote To bond
the city to the amount above named,
and II further believes that If judici-
ously expended along the lines pro-
posed II will give ny the nucleus of n
water works system which will In after
years be extended TO every part OF the
city.

HAS DONE GOOD WORK.
Savannah the First City to Send Out
Yellow Fever Expert.

In talking about the quarantine yester-
day. Mayor Meldrim expressed himself as
well satisfied with the work which has
been done by DR.. Stone, who is still sta
toned at Atlanta, engaged in vising health
certificates. 1t is the opinion of the mayor
that the services of DR.. Stone in keeping
the officials in Savannah thoroughly
posted upon the progress of the yellow
fever, that they might act expeditiously
and quickly in cases where the occasion
was thought TO be such as demanded it,
have been absolutely indispensable.
Heretofore, in cases where it has be-
come necessary for the city to declare
a quarantine against any particular sec
ton, no one had been dispatched to the
camp Of the enemy. But the mayor Is
evidently of the opinion that quarantine
should be conducted in a strictly military
manner in so far as such methods will
have the effect of reaching out and rem
dering the quarantine more efficacious. He
said that the city authorities had been en-
abled to proceed in a precise manner, from
the advices furnished them from
time to time by DR.. Stone,
and that there had been no
hardness upon the part Of quarantine Of
fcials here. for want of correct advices
from the infected districts. Now that the
precedent in sending out an expert at
times when the fever is threatened had
been established, it is altogether likely
that it would be continued, he said If a
future necessity for such service should
develop.
In the case of the British steamship
Port Victor, which was delayed at quar-
antine some time ago, and about which
some complaint was made, no action has
as yet been taken However, the parties
who made the complaint about the delay
have been summoned TO appear before
Health Officer LeHardy. The time they
were to have appeared has passed, and
DR.. LeHardy states that he will now re-
turn the papers to council and let the COM
plant pass without further attention.
Otherwise, nothing unusual was brought
to the attention of the sanitary board at
its regular meeting. All friction has been
removed, and the work which is being
done by the inspectors at the different
stations is of the most satisfactory kind
to the entire board.

ADULTERATED FOODS.
Agricultural Department Seeks In
formation on the Subject.

Agricultural Department Seeks In
formation on the Subject.
A circular has just been issued from the
department of agriculture at Washington,
asking the press of the country to CO.
operate with that department in ascer-
aiming the extent to which food adultera-
ions are carried on. The communication
states that it is the belief that food is be-
ing greatly adulterated and misbranded,
and the desire of the department is to as
certain to just what extent this is being
practiced.
BY scientific persons, who have taken it
upon themselves to make some analysis
of food stuffs in Savannah recently, it
has been learned that authorizations exist
to a large degree. So serious has this con-
dition of things been found that it has
given rise to the question of establishing
a food bureau or inspector i'm the city
When asked for an opinion on the mat
.er, Dr. LeHardy the health officer, said
that he was very decided in his views,
that not only the foods which were be-
ing sold in the stores, but a great part
of the milk which was being sold in the
City, was badly in need of scientific in
spection. He said that impure vinegar
was being sold and that foods, which
were dangerously adulterated, were be-
ing daily consumed by the people, who
were without the knowledge of the i'm
purties that existed.
Attention was called by another party
to the fact that oeomargarine was be-
ing sold in Savannah as pure butter and
was being labelled as the genuine article
This, he thought, could only be remedied
in one way. and that was by the work
of an inspector. The chemical division
of the department of agriculture would ap.
preeiate any Information on the subject

Labor in other Fields.

Labor in other Fields.
A large number of the union longshore-
men, who have been holding out for in
creased wages, returned to work yester-
day. There was work for all of the men
who applied, and none of them were turn
ed away At least, this is what the long
shoremen say.
Sandy Rhett, the president of the union
did not go to work, though he went down
to the wharves and talked with the men,
He told the men, who had bolted the union
before it had decided to return to work,
that they would not be considered out of
the union, and he hoped they would con-
tnue to be members, as there was much
need to keep the union intact
Rhett seems to exert a great influence
over the other members of his race, and
his counsel and advice is followed by a
goodly number of them. When asked if
he would return to work. Rhett said that
he thought he would not

to have reported to Col. Harmon that
Rhett was there for the purpose of keep

Rhett said that this was entirely untrue
and that he had no desire to excite trouble
of any sort. AL of the men bear him
out in this.
Several gangs of union men who return

Rolling John and as a result the gangs

WILL ENFORCE THE PENALTY.
Defaulting Taxpayers Must Pay Ten
Per Cent. Additional.

For the first time in the history of the
county, the county commissioners have
decided to take possession of all Of the
property upon which taxes for last year
and years before, remain unpaid, and will
hold it until all costs and penalties are set
tied.
There are 100000 or 10000 worth of
this properly. one piece alone being valued
at nearly 10000. All of this property up
on which the owners had failed to pay
taxes up to last July was sold at that time
at public cutlery and each piece was
bought in by a representative Of the
county commissioner, the bid being 81
above the amount of taxes due.
heretofore, the county has simply
bought the property i'm this way and has
permitted the owners to pay the taxes
ana costs without the penalty which is 10
per cent on the total amount due, at any
Tune within year and take the property
pack. The county commissioners now
consider that they have been to lenient in
TINS matter heretofore and they are not
going to do SO any more.
All those who have not paid the taxes
ana costs on their property by Wednesday
VIII, in addition to that amount, have to
amount due by them. In order to carry
out this provision of the law and enforce
the payment of the penalty, the commits
sioners will have the county attorney
Mr.. j. r. Saussy, draw up title deeds to
all the property, making it over to them
as officers of the county. These deeds will
probably be drawn up sometime this
week, within the next day or two, and
VIII be signed by Sheriff John T. Roman
who sold the property under executions.
Under these deeds the county will hold
all of this defaulting property In fee sim
pie. 1t will all be placed in the hands of
real estate agent whose duty will be
to manage it to the best advantage and
collect the rents. The entire income from
the property until redeemed by the pay
ment Of the taxes and the 10 per cent. pen
atty will be turned into the county treas
ury, and the owners viii receive none of it.
The owners of the property have The
right to redeem it within twelve months
from the time of the public sale by the
payment of the taxes and costs, with the
10 per cent. penalty added. If they do
not see fit to redeem it by making such
payments within that time it will become
the property of the county, and the pro-
ceeds from its sale will be turned into the
public treasury.
The new feature in the case is the en-
forcement by the commissioners of the 10
per cent. penalty, which has not been done
heretofore. The taxes due are both for
state and county, and it is believed these
steps will lead to a more prompt payment
of taxes in the future. No doubt many
will redeem their property within the next
two or three days before the title deeds
are drawn, as by so doing, they will save
themselves the payment of the 10 per cent
penalty.
