NEW ORDINANCES PROPOSED.
Alderman KrOuskOfR's Plan to Con-
centrhte the Market Business.

the Market Business.
Alderman Krouskoff introduced three
ordinances in the city council last night
of interest to a good many people in sa-
vannah.
One ordinance ordains that hereafter no
license shall be granted for the establish
ment of a green grocery anywhere in the
city unless the application therefor shall
be indorsed by a majority Of the freehold
ers residing within three blocks from the
proposed location and the application is
also approved by the market committee
Another ordinance prohibits the sale of
fish on the streets or elsewhere except in
the market and by regularly licensed fish
houses outside the market
The third ordinance prohibits the sale of
dead poultry, sausage and other fresh
meats except at the market and by reg
ularly licensed green grocers.
Alderman Krouskoff is chairman of the
market committee and his idea in intro
ducing these ordinances is to increase the
revenues of the market, which have fallen
off greatly, in recent years, by eoncentrat-
ing practically the entire market business
of the city al that point. which would most
likely be the result of these ordinances
The green grOccrs and others engaged i'm

man krouskoffs ordinances and many of

nances by council
Alderman Hull offered an ordinance
amending the ordinances heretofore pass
ed touching chimneys and chimney con-
tractors to be found on pages 1866 and 167
of MacDonells code. Section l of the
amending ordinance provides that here
after chimneys of one-story houses or
structures in the city of Savannah need
not be swept exceeding once very six
months and that house or structures two
or more stories in hight need not be swept
exceeding once every year. Section re-
peals section 5H of MacDonell's code re-
lating to bake or cook houses. Section s
provides that should the chimney contrac-
tor be unable to collect his fees from the
occupants of houses or structures in which
chimneys are swept, that the contractor
may then look to the owners of the
houses or structures for as much as one
half Of their fees, but no more.

NO cHANGE IN SUNDAY LAW.
Alderman Hull Withdrew His Res
taurant Ordinance From Council.

Alderman HulTs ordinance amending
the Sunday observance law by placing
restaurants on the same footing as hotels,
came up on its second reading in the city
council last night.
Alderman Hull stated that he understood
so many OF his brother aldermen were OPP
posed to the amendment that he had de-
cided to withdraw it.
The petition Of the pilotage commission
for mooffng plies to be placed at certain
places in the river FOR the anchorage of
sailing vessels, was reported upon favo-
rably by the harbOr and wharves com
mittee, which recommended that the petit
ton Of the pilotase commissioners be
granted. The report was agreed 20.
The trustees Of the Primitive Baptist
church petitioned the council to donate
them a lot at Drayton and Fifth or Dray-
ton and Sixth streets for the erection of a
church. The petition was referred to the
committee on city lots with Instructions
to report to the committee OF the whole.
Alderman Krouskon called attention to
the fact that there is no code Of the city
ordinances, containing the ordinances
adopted since the publication Of Mac
Donelrs code. He will present resolu-
ton on the subject at the next meeting
of council.
me puDnc health committee was duthOr-
lied to expend $500 for the purpose OF hav-
ing a census taken of the privy vaults
of the city.
Alderman Hull introduced an ordinance

hicles offered for hire when used at night
on the streets of Savannah to display
lights.
The council had quite a lengthy discus
sion at the opening of the meeting upon
the adoption of the report of the market
committee, allowing Crittenden & Co.,
S125 for damages sustained by their stock
in the market basement on account of the
exposed condition of the building after
the September storm. The report was
finally adopted by a vote of 7 to ).

LILLIAN CLAYTON TO BE TRIED.
The Thompson and Miller Girls BE-
fore the Recorder.

The Thompson and Miller Girls be-
fore the Recorder.
Lillian Clayton in whose house Susie
Thompson and Nan Miller were found by
the detectives. was bound over yesterday
by Recorder Hartridge for trial in the city
court, on the charge Of keeping a lewd
house The bond was fixed at $780, which
amount will probably be furnished by
friends of the woman to-day.
Recorder Hartridge gave the case a pri-
vate hearing, disappointing a large crowd
of curiosity seekers, who were anticipating
rich revelations. Both the girls and their
mothers were in court and there was much
shedding of tears on their part. Both
girls testified that they had not been en-
ticed away from home by the Clayton wo .
man, but said they had been advised
by some of their male acquaintance to
go there. Lillian, they said, told them
that she did not keep a boarding house
and had no room for them.
Lillian Clayton testified that she did not
keep a lewd house. but took in sewing for
a living. She occupied only a small house,
she said, and rented one room to a young
man, who paid her 81 a week. The re-
corder thought the evidence sufficient TO
bind her over for trial.

AFTER COMMISSIONER WILLINK.
Park Commission Wants Him to Re
move Debris From the Streets.

The park and tree commission is after
Public Works Commissioner Willnk,
who has declined to remove the limbs and
debris resulting from the trimming of the
trees by the park and tree force, holding
that the removal of the debris is as much
part of the work of the park and tree
commission as the trimming of the trees.
A communication was received from Mr.
w. w. Gordon, Jr., secretary of the park
and tree commission, inclosng a resou-
tion adopted a the last meeting of the
commission, complaining of the delay of
the scavenger department in removing
limbs and debris piled up on the edges of
the parks and squares, thus detracting
from their appearance. The communicA-
ton was referred to the streets and
lanes committee.
Alderman Davis inquired whether it
was in the province of the council or the
park and tree commission to permit the
erection of structures around the grass
plats of the city and whether property
owners were allowed to enclose grass
plats. His attention had been attracted
by the railing around the grass plat in
front of Col. w. w. Gordon's property at
Bull and South Broad streets, and a num-
Der of people had spoken 20 him about it,.
His understanding was that council had
required all such Enclosures around grass
P4dtS 10 De removed TWO or three years ago.
Mayor Meldrim replied that his atten-
ton had been attracted by the Enclosure.
and that he had written the park and
tree commission for information as TO
whether property owners were permitted
to erect such structures around grass
plats, and had received a reply from the
secretary Of the commission, Mr. w. w.
Gordon, Jr. He read the reply, which
was IN effect that the commission saw no
reason to object to the erection Of the
structure, as without it 1t would be i'm
possible to grow grass at the point. The
commission had itself made use of such
temporary structures in growing flowers
in the squares the letter stated.
Two or three of the aldermen remarked
that the fence around Col. Gordon's grass
plat resembled a permanent, rather than
a temporary structure.
There Is an impression that structures
Of this kind are prohibited by ordinance

RULES or THE ROAD DISCUSSED.
Alderman GucISenheimer's ora J.
nance to BE RemOdeIed.

hNhCt w nv hebbOUeleus
Alderman Guckenheimer's road ordi-
nance came up on its second reading in
the city council last night. The ordinance
was discussed at length and several
amendments were offered
Alderman Guckenheimer offered an
amendment TO section by striking out
Liberty street and inserting CASTOR street
as the boundary line between the six and
ton-mile gaits of the bicycllsts. The
amendment was adopted.
Alderman Charlton offered an amend
meut to section ! making " the duty Of
the person in charge of a vehicle ln stop
ping such vehicle. TO drive or draw 1t inn
mcdlately alongside the curb. instead Of
leaving Il an angle TO the curb Ii was
objected that in unloading drays and the
passengers from ommbuses q is neces-
sary to bring the vehicles with the rear

Alderman owens moved to except omnt-
buses and drays from this requirement
when loading or unloading. but that the
drivers OF such vehicles be required to
Immediately turn their teams az right an
giles to the vehicles.
Alderman Hull offered an amendment
providing that not more than four bicy-
cles be allowed abreast. Several other
amendments were offered. and on motion
OF Alderman Hamilton, the ordinance
with the amendments was referred back to
Alderman Guckcnhcimer with Instructions

DELAYED BY THE FLOODS.
Plant System, Central and C. and A.
Have Suffered the Most Damage.


Have Suffered the Most Damage.
Three of Savannah's railroads sustained
damages from the recent continuous rains.
These were the Plant system, the Georgia
and Alabama, and the Central, all of
which run through the storm-swept terri
tory of Southwest Georgia and Southeast
Alabama.
While the Florida Central and Peninsu-
lar has had heavy rains along it's route.
it has not been visited with the downpour
that flooded the tracks of the three roads
named. There were no washouts to de-
lay trains on the Florida Central and Pc
ninsular, but there was no scarcity of
them on the other lines. The cyclone that
passed over the southwestern part of Geor-
gia and the southeastern part of Alabama
with its accompanying rain, did the dam
age to the divisions of the roads mention
ed.
The tracks were standing in water in
the section that had the hardest rain, and
the sand was washed from under them in
many places. The passage of trains be-
come difficult and at certain places it was
impossible to get them past.
On the Alabama Midland division of
the Plant system all trains have been de-
layed four or five hours. The washouts
are between Tenniile, Ala, and Mont
gomerey, and it has been found necessary
to transfer passengers When one train
would arrive at the washout another
would be found waiting on the other side
to take the passengers on.
The Georgia and Alabama has suffered
worst west of Americas. It's trains day
before yesterday were late and it's trains
yesterday morning from Montgomery was
not run. The night train arrived last
night however but a little late The
Brunswick and Western division of the
Plant system had a bad washout east of
Albany, and trains on it were delayed.
one train out of Albany was not run. All
the lines centering on Albany were suffer-
ers from washouts. The Central got its
line most badly damaged between Smith
Vile and Bufaula. That road and the
Plant system has been running it's trains
into Savannah on time. The delays on
the division have not interfered, as con-
nections have not been waited for when
late. Work is going on rapidly on the
damaged roadbeds, and it will be a matter
of only a day or two when all the lines
viii be putting their trains through on
time.

TO KEEP THE FREE DOCKS OPEN.
Opposition to the Closing Any OF
Them to Public Use.

Them to Public Use.
The intimation in yesterdays Morning
News that the East Broad street slip,
which is now a public dock, might be
traded off by the city in exchange for land
for the opening of River street, aroused
inquiry at once among those interested in
river traffic 1t is evident that opposition
to this policy will develop If the city
should manifest such an intention.
The public docks are the gateways for
all the traffic of the small river boats.
Hundreds of negroes, and whites as well,
bring in their vegetables and produce, oys-
tiers, fish, game and other products OF field
and stream. and land their boats at these
docks. As 1t stands now there are just
enough docks to furnish convenient land
ings for such traffic along the river front.
The public docks are as follows: Ferry
dock at foot of West Broad street, Mar
ket dock at the foot of Barnard street,
Exchange dock at the foot of Bull street,
Lincoln street dock, East Broad street slip
and the Ferry dock at the foot of gas
house hill.
The city owns the docks at the termini
of Abercorn and Whitaker streets. The
latter is leased to a private party, and the
former is used by the city as the landing
place of the tug Theckla on the occasions
of its visits to the city. The river ter
mini of the other streets are owned by
private concerns and corporations.
Mayor Meldrim was asked about the re-
ported deal for the East Broad street slip
yesterday, and replied that it was news
to him. He did not know what PROPOSE
tons. the street opening committee might
have before it, he said, but the matter had
not been brought.t to the attention of coun-
Gil, and no such arrangement could be
made without the approval of that body.
