PROTECT THE OWLS.
They Are Enemies of All Sorts of
Vermin.

They Are Enemies of All Sorts of
Vermin.
Editor Morning News In your issue of
to-day you mention, with apparent salts
faction or, at least, without reproval the
fact that two owls were caught yesterday
by some clerks in the Office of the Geor-
gia and Alabama from a colony that has
made its home lin the Kelly building, and
that the trap was again set. Apart from
the cruelty and useless imprisonment or
destruction of the birds, it would be well
If you, as an instructor of the public, had
called attention of these clerks and others
to the direct injury done to- the eommu-
nifty at large. You state that each owl
held large rat in its mouth Tor beak).
Is that reason why the birds should be
prevented from rendering further services
of the kind? Owls, unlike other predatory
birds seek their prey al night, and de-
pend almost entirely on vermin. With the
exception of the Great Horned owl, which
occasionally invades the chicken roost,
they are, without doubt one of the best
friends of the farmer, and should be pro-
tected by state laws. Abroad the game
keeper even does not raise his gun at an
owl, although he is sure death to any of
the hawk tribe that comes within range.

THE HOUSE DRAINAGE work.
The Charge That 1t Is Defective
Made In Good Faith.

Made In Good Faith.
Savannah, Ca, Nov 21.-To the Editor
of the Morning News: 1 notice an item
in to-day's issue of the Morning News in
which it is stated that the City Council
will not investigate the charges of de-
fective work in the house drainage done
last winter, made by Messrs. Craig, Thorn
as and Sugden, because certain aldermen
believe that the charges are not made in
good faith and that the engineers were
simply seeking jobs for themselves.
Whoever these aldermen may be, they
are certainly under a delusion. The
charges were made in perfectly good faith,
and we stand ready 90 prove them, and
more also.
AS to the fact of seeking Jobs" we
would not insult this City Council, whose
transactions have hitherto been SO
straightforward so far as even to imagine
for a moment, that they would give any
one lob" not even a local man, un-
less they were thoroughly convinced that
it was to the best interests of the city
at large that it should be done.
We make charges of defective work ow-
ing to careless. negligent or fraudulent in
spection, and ask City Council to investi-
gate these charges in order to determine

der
If we substantial ted the charges then it
was reasonable to presume that a change
would be made in the method of inspec-
ton. In order to place Council on notice
that there are engineers in the city fully
competent to do the work and prevent
them again calling in engineers from an
other city, under the idea that there was
no one here competent to do the work
we made application 90 be given any work
in this line.
So far as seeking a Job from the city
personally / would say that I have been
practicing my profession in this city for
over ten years, and have a character for
integrity and veraeity equal to any man.
do not want work from the city or any
one unless it comes TO me in a perfectly
clean and straightforward manner
We have seen defective work in the
house drainage. We have called the at
tention of Council to it, We are aware
of our limitations and know that we can
not compel Council to investigate if they
do not want to.
If Council is not willing to have the
public receive our proofs through them,
then we shall be compelled to lay them
before the public direct. This is a duty
we owe now both TO ourselves and the
city. Percy Sugden, Civil Engineer.
