COUNTY DRAINAGE PLANS.
TIE Commissioners Have Been over n
Part Ohf the Work.


The county commissioners have just
made a trip over the section Just TO the
south Of the city with a view to looking
into the matter of the drainage. During
their outing they also visited the poor
farm to look into the matter of any i'm
provements that may be needed there, as
well as the selection of a proper site for
the new convict barracks which will be
built upon that property.
Chairman f. S. Lathrop Of the commit
tee on drainage was asked yesterday by a
representative of the Morning News. as
to the results of the trip, and whether the
board had decided upon anything definite
with regard to future drainage work.
"As soon as we get through with the
work on the new DeRenne canal cut off,
upon which the greater part of the force
is now at work, we have decided to take
up the Harmon canal which drains quite
a large section to the south of the city
and crosses the White Bluff road about
the six-mile post. This canal in its present
state is inadequate TO carry of the water
tributary to it, especially during heavy
rains, and we intend to deepen and widen
it. In this connection some work will also
be done on the Hampstead canal, which is
tributary to it. and which drains a sec
ton a little nearer the city"
How about the Buckhalter section Of
which there has been so much talk?"
I'VE did not visit that We did not have
time for it, After looking into the drain
age of which / have spoken we went over
. .1.s to rYf,
yet to decide what will be done about the
Buckhalter drainage. There is still con-
siderable work TO be done on the new
DeRenne canal and after that on the
Harmon and Hampstead canals. Then
too, there is the spring cleaning work to
be considered. We have decided to put
the greater part of the force to work the
middle or the latter part of April to clean
up and repair the bitches and drains
around and contiguous to the city. This is
a very important and a very necessary
work at this time of the year, and it Will
take some little time to complete it,
Has the new board outlined any policy
with regard to the drainage work?'
Il cannot say that we have as yet, ex-
oept in so far as / have indicated, with
regard to the work now before US. This
is all important work, and 1t will be
pushed ahead as rapidly as possible. 1t
is the intention of the board to keep the
greater part of the force constantly on the
drainage work, and to continue on the
road work only that small portion of 1t
which has been engaged upon it hereto
fore. The convict force now numbers
about $50, of whom about $50 are able
bodied men. l think about lis or 120 If
these will be kept constantly on the drain
age work. The rains have interfered
with it some lately, but with good weather
am satisfied it will progress rapidly"
In speaking of the spring cleaning work.
Chairman Lathrop said the county forces
would also clean up the bitches and drains
around the Avondale rife range, which
will require but a very short time.

PENSION CLAIMS PILING UP.
More Applications on File Than Can
Possibly BE Paid This Year.

More Applications on File Than Can
Possibly BE Paid This Year.
Judge Hampton L. Ferrill has received
a letter from Commissioner of Pensions
Richard Johnson with regard to the pay
ment of new pension claims for 1897.
1t is estimated, says Mr.. Johnson, that
not more than 125 new claims can be en-
rolled under the invalid pension law Of
1887, and there are now pending in this
class about 600 applications. 1t is hoped
to dispose of all of them and pay out all
this fund by May 1.
About $50 new claims can be paid under
the INDECENT law of 1894, and more than
$500 applications are now on file. 1t will
probably be September before they can
be disposed of. No precise date, how
ever, can be fixed, as new applications
continue to come in, though claims filed
after the examination begins will be de-
ferred until those at that time on file are
disposed of. Notice will be given the or
binary as soon as the claims are disposed
of. The payment of enrolled pensioners
of all classes for 1897 is practically over.
