CAR LINE ON THE OGEECHEE.
Surveys Made for Railway. to the
Cur Works.

A preliminary survey has been made
for an electric or horse car railway on
The Ogeechee road from the terminus of
the street car tracks to the works of the
Georgia Car and Manufacturing Company.
In widening and improving the Ogeechee
road, the width of the roadway was in
creased to 60 feet. with view to the pos
sibility of space being required at some
time for railroad track, bul doubtless
the demand for it was not expected to
come SO soon.
The Improvement Of the public road and
building the ear works have caused con-
siderable development in that section of
the county and there is a demand for
transportation facilities. There is q
steadily increasing demand for land for
truck farming and il is very probable that
the old plantations, which line the Ogee-
chez road vii. before long, be rented and
made into small farms. It is reported that
if the project of building a road 20 the
car works matcrializes an effort will be
made to extend the line mile or two
farther south

WHEELS IN THE SCHOOLS.
Hundreds of Children Ride Bicycles
to and From Their Classes.

Hunure0S OF Ch1luren kS1Oe b1cycles
to and From Their Classes.
That the children of Savannah use bicy-
cles both for pleasure and convenience is
shown by the number around the public
schools, where they are left while the chill
dren are at their studies. The High
School is ahead of all others.
over eighty wheels are ridden to the
High School every day. At times the
number is above and below this, but the
average clear day will find that many

of the wheels at the High School. Up
to short time ago they were kept in
the halls. At first this was not incoh-
venient, but as the number began to grow
1t was found that it was getting difficult
TO move about the building from one
room to another on account of the OBJ
structing wheels.
When this became most noticeable 1t
was decided that something would have
to be done. The superintendent ordered
the construction of two sheds for their ac-
boys and the other is for the girls
wheels. They are on either side of a brick
wall that separates the yards south of the
building. The girls shed is the longer
and accommodates more wheels, though
the boys ride more than the girls. The
sheds furnish ample protection from the
weather for all the wheels that can be
gotten under them. This is not all that
are ridden to school, however, and it
would not be out of order for an extern
sion to be built upon each of the sheds.
1t is an interesting sight TO watch the
number of BICYCLES that leave the High
School on clear day. The girls leave
from the front of the building, being its
greatest ornaments. The exit for the boys
is on the south. side, opening on Hull
street. From each of the gates about an
equal number of wheels start their home
ward spin for hungry pupils to get their
meals.
Nearly all of the male teachers Of the
school also ride wheels. Their machines
are still left in the halls. The other
schools have nothing like the number OF
wheels that the High School has. The
number at each of them usually runs to
about a dozen. These are slowed away
while the children are in their classes.
